So far, I've read the first and last stories. Liked both, but esp the first.

Ever since he had taken to the sea [Stephen] had been harassed by the cry 'Lose not a minute' and it gave him a certain pleasure to use it himself at last. 'Lose not a minute,' he repeated, savouring the words[...].

"Poetry and music were accomplishments shared by Bilbo, Aragorn, and Treebeard. Villains like Saruman and Denethor never burst into song." I wouldn't call Denethor a villain.

today's gem: "Stephen detached himself from a somewhat sterile conversation on chlorine"

The play is apparently by one Charles Dickens, according to the title page. :D

From "The Famous Victories"

King (Henry V): Call in my Lord Chief Justice of England. ... Oh, my lord, you remember you sent me to the Fleet, did you not?
Justice: I trust your Grace have forgotten that.
King: Ay, truly, my lord; and for revengement I have chosen you to be my Protector over my realm, until it shall please God to give me speedy return out of France.

CORRECTED QUOTE p. 245: 'I don't think you need fret about your little Elf-friend,' said Dolbear. 'He's got a body and a constitution that would put a steamroller back a bit, if it bumped into him'
