Jacob the Baker
by Noah Benshea"Well, will he do it?" she asked Samuel, as if Jacob weren't there. Samuel turned to Jacob. "Well, will you do it? Will you let us have some of your ideas for the bread?" Jacob grinned. "Only arrogance guards what it doesn't own!" Samuel nodded to the lady. "He'll do it." The lady returned her focus to Jacob. "Thank you," she said. ... Jacob traced his path to work on the way home. He traveled within. A small, frozen puddle of water, caught by a rock, huddled next to a curb and drew his attention. "An eternity is any moment opened with patience," he reminded himself. Then he raised the tip of his boot and pushed down on the layers of ice. He could feel the pressure of the lady's request that morning in the bakery. (from the book)

Great Lives: Gandhi
by Nigel Hunter"His face is familiar to people in all parts of the world, but to the people of India, Mahatma Gandhi is part of the landscape itself. In every Indian town and village, you are likely to see his image. It could be a framed portrait in the Post Office or bank or a faded photograph displayed on the crumbling wall of a back street tea shop. It could be a brightly-colored postcard clipped to the side of a street-vendor's stall; or a full-length statue set up in the restful shade of a public park or above the hurly-burly and bustle of the crossroads. He may be pictured at his spinning wheel, absorbed in concentration, or playing with children, laughing good naturedly. Or perhaps he is drinking tea with the Viceroy. More often, he is portrayed striding purposefully forward, leading the movement for Indian independence; for freedom, peace and friendship. Millions affectionately called him Bapu, Father of the nation."

Clutch of Constables (Roderick Alleyn #25)
by Ngaio Marsh"Five Days Out of Time..." ... that was how the ad had described the Zodiac cruise on the "weirdly misted" English river.

But they were not all what they seemed. For Inspector Alleyn knew that one of them was the faceless "Jampot"-the ruthless killer who could take on any personality, whose thumb was a deadly weapon. The problem was, which one! Alleyn had five days to trap him, or the other passengers would pay with their lives-and one of those passengers was Alleyn's wife!
