Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. Unaccompanied Sonata: When Christian Harolsen was six months old, preliminary tests showed a predisposition towards rhythum and a keen awareness of pitch. A Cross-Country Trip to Kill Richard Nixon: Siggy was not the killer type. The Porcelain Salamander: They called their country the Beautiful Land, and they were right. Middle Woman: Ah-Cheu was a woman of the great kingdom of Ch'in, a land of hills and valleys, a land of great wealth and dire poverty. The Bully and the Beast: The page entered the Count's chamber at a dead run. The Princess and the Bear: I know you've seen lions. Sandmagic: The great domes of the city of Gyree dazzled blue and red when the sun shone through a break in the clouds, and for a moment Cer Cemreet thought he saw some of the glory the uncles talked about in the late night tales of the old days of Greet. The Best Day: Once there was a woman who had five children that she loved with all her heart, and a husband who was kind and strong. A Plague of Butterflies: The butterflies awoke him. The Monkeys Thought 'Twas All in Fun: "Take her," Anges's father said, his dry eyes pleading. Mortal Gods: The first contact was peaceful, almost uneventful: sudden landings near government buildings all over the world, brief discussions in the native languages, followed by treaties allowing the aliens to build certain buildings in certain places in exchange for certain favors - nothing spectacular. Saving Grace: And he looked into her eyes and lo! when her gaze fell upon him he did verily turn to stone, for her visage was wonderous ugly. Eye for Eye: Just talk, Mick. St. Amy's Tale: Mother could kill with her hands. Kingsmeat: The gatekeeper recognized him and the gate fell away. Holy: "You have weapons that could stop them," said Crofe, and suddenly the needle felt heavy on my belt. | |

The Porcelain Salamander: Never stopped moving at all, it seemed, and they were white and lustrous as deep-enameled porcelain, and her smile was as bright as the moons, and came back to her face as constantly as the sea, and those who knew her well could almost see her gaze keep flickering about the room or about the garden, as if she watched a bright, quick animal scamper by. (Zum Anzeigen anklicken. Warnung: Enthält möglicherweise Spoiler.) The Best Day: And the peddler, he just rode home to his family, his great-great-great-grandchildren, his grey-haired wife who nagged, the children who complained about the way he was always off on business when he should be home, and always hanging about the hose when he ought to be away; he rode home to the leaves that turned every year, and the rats that ate the apples in the cellar, and the folks that kept dying on him, and the little ones that kept on being born.
