vf24-05 Daylight made no answer, and the door closed behind him
vf24-06 There's not an iota of truth in it
vf24-07 But ever his gaze returned to that Crouched Venus on the piano

vf24-29 You see, we were teaching ourselves
vf24-30 And now behold the perversity of things
vf24-31 Yield yourself to the waters that are ripping and tearing at you
vf24-32 Mr McVeigh told me about him
vf24-33 Unlike Joshua, he stood in no need of divine assistance
vf24-34 To say the least, Captain Cook was a rather thorough going empiricist
vf24-35 Man could not conquer them
