Download or read book A Cruel Wit written by J. B. Scarlett and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The woman has lost her head; she has only a mask for a face. An obedient dog lies at her feet. But who is the faceless owl perched on her shoulder in counsel? And why is he horned? Hearts, Spades, and Clubs are present ... but where are the Diamonds? When her husband suddenly disappears on a business trip to Bangkok, Hope Alexander rushes after him. But what she finds causes her to abandon her search entirely; and, as a result of her husband's alleged crime, she quickly finds herself out of a job, in danger, and alone. She flees their comfortable home in Singapore in an effort to start over. But Hope may be considered a poor master of her own fate: from nearly the moment her husband disappears, she gets herself into one tangle after another and, blind to the motivation of those she charms into helping her, leaves herself vulnerable to the wit of an odd lot of characters, and revenge for her husband's crime.
Download or read book Elements of Wit written by Benjamin Errett and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Got wit? We’ve all been in that situation where we need to say something clever, but innocuous; smart enough to show some intelligence, without showing off; something funny, but not a joke. What we need in that moment is wit—that sparkling combination of charm, humor, confidence, and most of all, the right words at the right time. Elements of Wit is an engaging book that brings together the greatest wits of our time, and previous ones from Oscar Wilde to Nora Ephron, Winston Churchill to Christopher Hitchens, Mae West to Louis CK, and many in between. With chapters covering the essential ingredients of wit, this primer sheds light on how anyone—introverts, extroverts, wallflowers, and bon vivants—can find the right zinger, quip, parry, or retort…or at least be a little bit more interesting.
Download or read book PUT OUT MORE FLAGS written by Evelyn Waugh and published by Alien Ebooks. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Put Out More Flags is set during the first year of the war and follows the wartime activities of characters introduced in Waugh’s earlier satirical novels Decline and Fall, Vile Bodies, and Black Mischief.
The dormant conflict is reflected in the activity of the novel’s main characters. Earnest would-be soldier Alistair Trumpington finds himself engaged in incomprehensible manoeuvres instead of real combat, while Waugh’s recurring ne’er-do-well Basil Seal, finds ample opportunity for amusing himself in the name of the war effort.
