• I was disappointed in Coop. He hated being bored and so did I. He was always looking for different things to do and coming up with new adventures that kept us moving. That was his job.

Besides, the girls I liked had more interesting things to do than spend every waking moment sitting around at the beach comparing tans.

• Interesting thing, these fellows never seem to get the idea of perspective-' The Bursar thought, or received the thought: that's because perspective is a lie.

Our very lives become a bold and beautiful testimony to the purity, the freedom, and the beauty of the Lord Jesus.
