Gorse
My sticky notes from The West Pier, part of Patrick Hamilton's Gorse Trilogy:
On opportunity:
All Ryan wanted to do was escape at the earliest possible moment -- to run for his life, in fact -- and here was the chance.
On being specky:
Only spectacle-wearers who have been embraced awkwardly by other spectacle-wearers will be able to comprehend fully the ineffable gruesomeness of the noise made by the clatter of lens against lens, and rims against rims.
