Is your older sister my younger sister? This is practically a script from childhood.

I am here for all these sentiments in all their fine forms. When I want your attention, there won’t be any question about it.

Murderer. The word is murderer.

He used to wander into parties - any party, for any reason, if it was being held in a public space. Art gallery showing? Book launch? He’d just show up. Nobody was going to kick him out!
