“He’s being held prisoner on a ceramic-lined cookie sheet in the oven,â€� Thomas said. “I figured he couldn’t jigger his way out of a bunch of steel, and it would give him something to think about before we start asking questions.â€�
“That’s an awful thing to do to one of the Little Folk, man,� I said.
“I’m planning to start making a pie in front of him.�
“N¾±³¦±ð.â€�
“Thank you.”

I'm now going to eat breakfast in the coffee shop across the street: orange juice, bacon and eggs, toast, honey, three or four cups of coffee, and a toothpick. I am then going up to my office, which is on the seventh floor of the building right opposite you. If you have anything that's worrying you beyond endurance, drop up and chew it over. I'll only be oiling my machine gun.”

“I’m a copper,â€� he said. “Just a plain ordinary copper. Reasonably honest. As honest as you could expect a man to be in a world where it’s out of style.”
