"This is the town of the King of Sentences."
"This little town."
"He could be watching us now, don't act stupid. With a telescope."
We blundered along something called Main Street, seeking the post office, until a passerby directed us to Warburton Avenue.
(another):
"He's the greatest maker of sentences in the United States of America," I said.
"I've had a look," the Chief said.
"He's not bad. I'm just wondering if you ever troubled with the content of his books, as opposed to just the sentences."
"Sentences are content," Clea said.
