Summary
"The Princess graciously waved to the throngs of supporters gathered outside her country's embassy." A load of manure, that's what that was. Why couldn't they tell the real story? Her eyes were like stars. She forgot to be shy when she smiled. She moved like a dancer when not weighed down by formal gowns and jewels. She could earn her living as a cook, if only she had someone to cook for.

Summary
'Yet it was whispered in the school that he was in the habit of parading the town at night in loud checks and a false beard. It was whispered, and disbelieved. I alone knew it for a fact; for night after night had I pulled the rope up after him when the rest of the dormitory were asleep, and kept awake by the hour to let it down again on a given signal. Well, one night he was over-bold, and within an ace of ignominious expulsion in the hey-day of his fame. Consummate daring and extraordinary nerve on his part, aided, doubtless, by some little presence of mind on mine, averted the untoward result; and no more need be said of a discreditable incident. [...]
' "I've been thinking of that night we had the narrow squeak," he began.' - 'The Ides of March'
A version of the 'discreditable incident', as a Christmas present for my dear disenchanted.

Summary
BERNARD: I think everyone imagines going to their own funeral, at some point. Wandering among the mourners, listening to what they say about you. And in a sense, everyone does. We bring them with us, different versions of them. Lovers, colleagues, rivals.
