I felt Michael\u2014who hated to touch, or be touched by, other people\u2014flinch as I rested my fingertips as lightly as possible on his arm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI enjoy reading about people who are real to me for a short time, knowing that if terrible things happen to them, I can comfort myself in knowing they have no existence but in the writer\u2019s head.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The preparation of a large canvas is a marvelous operation. The frame must be exact down to one-sixteenth of an inch, the stitching done with great care, everything perfectly measured and calculated before we apply the first drop of size.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“As you leave your grief behind you, my dear, I\u2019d like to urge you to do more\u2014to join me in a cause that\u2019s very close to my heart.\u201d He leaned forward, his napkin crushed in one large hand. \u201cThe greatest problem for the poor of Littleberry is that problems are tackled piecemeal. There are many of us who support a more thorough approach.\u201d <\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what better time to introduce the subject of caring for the poor and meek than at Christmas, when we celebrate the birth of the One who came into the world in a stable?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
