“Jordana is in the umpire's highchair.
I walk under the rugby posts and on to the tennis courts, stopping a few metres in front of her, in the service box.
Her legs are crossed.
I wait for her to speak.
'I have two special skills,' she says.
She pulls a sheaf of papers from under her bum. I recognize the font and the text boxes. It's my pamphlet.
'Blackmail,' she says.
She holds up her Zippo in the other hand. I can tell that she has been practising this.
'And pyromania.'
I am impressed that Jordana knows this word.
'Right,' I say.
'I'm going to blackmail you, Ol.'
I feel powerless. She is in a throne.
'Okay,' I say.”
― Joe Dunthorne, Submarine

“They meet again at dinner--again, next day-- again, for many days in succession. Lady Dedlock is always the same exhausted deity, surrounded by worshippers, and terribly liable to be bored to death, even while presiding at her own shrine. Mr. Tulkinghorn is always the same speechless repository of noble confidences, so oddly but of place and yet so perfectly at home. They appear to take as little note of one another as any two people enclosed within the same walls could. But whether each evermore watches and suspects the other, evermore mistrustful of some great reservation; whether each is evermore prepared at all points for the other, and never to be taken unawares; what each would give to know how much the other knows--all this is hidden, for the time, in their own hearts.”
― Charles Dickens, Bleak House

“Blackmail threats are e-mails from madmen.”

“Time’s up, Mr. Andersen, I’m afraid.â€� Alyssa noticed his hesitation. “You should know an important clause in our agreement . . . you attorneys call it what, full disclosure? You give me $25,000 before I leave this office, or, well, I'll just have to ring up Heather again and let her in on a secret, a secret about something that happened in Chinatown not even three weeks ago. Hmmm…I wonder what she would think.”

Did they circulate internal updates: 'Five new and different ways to break a heart'?”
― Anna Funder, Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall
