Subject: spot the quote 2

"He made an advance you mean?" I said. Advance? Well what other word could I have used?
Matthew nodded, looked away and out it all came in a hot, indignant tumble. "I told him to leave me alone and he called me a tart. He said everyone could see the way I played up to certain pollies and to people like you who I was always hanging around with. He said I was a prettyboy pricktease."

Oh fuck here we go, I thought. His brother has been warning him off. Some jealous son of a bitch has been whispering. The game is up.
"Who said what to you?" I asked, trying to smother the swallowing nervousness I felt.
"It doesn't really matter who it was. Just someone in my house.I was sweeping the corridor, you know, and he started...he started trying stuff."
"He made an advance you mean?" I said. Advance? Well what other word could I have used?
Matthew nodded, looked away and out it all came in a hot, indignant tumble. "I told him to leave me alone and he called me a tart. He said everyone could see the way I

[> the fairly casual use of the word 'fuck' suggests the 1980s at earliest, the background appears to be a boarding school, probably in the uk; homosexuality as an overt theme would again point to a compartively recent publication. it's definitely not something i've read, though, so i'm stuck for names. anyone? -- si, 11:55:23 05/25/01 Fri

[> Luke, I dunno, I read "The Liar" but I can't remember if it was from that or if I was just keyed on by the similarity of language and Mr. Jones' homosexuality / boarding school inferences. GOod book though. Funny, and a good twist at the end. Very good. -- tim, 19:16:10 05/26/01 Sat
