Activities
- The street was happily larcenous??? The street was happily larcenous as I parked my bike outside Leopold’s beside a lounge of street touts, their salamander eyes roving for business. I looked left, slowly, and then right, taking in every threat or opportunity on the street around me. I’d begun to turn my thoughts away from that shadow, Lisa’s shadow, moving across the garden of what was, when I heard a voice. I would like to know what does "The street was happily larcenous" here mean. Thanks.December 6, 201740
- spilled from reluctant hands??? She was waiting until the boyfriend came back with the drugs he’d bought with their love locket, and some change to spare for the room. I’d seen girls like the girl in the locket leave the Island City as ashes, spilled from reluctant hands, not long after they arrived. They were beautiful, as every girl is, and there was always a not so beautiful guy who wrote that part of their story for them. I would like to know what does ‘’spilled from reluctant hands“ here mean. Thanks.November 30, 201720
- be in front ? ‘It’s worth a grand, US, in the stores here,’ I said, ‘and any street guy in Bombay will get six for it, and an honest one will give you five back.’ ‘He gave us a hundred, and promised to get more,’ one of the men said. ‘He’ll be hanging around,’ I said. ‘And he’ll want his hundred back. There’s a waiter here, named Sweetie. He does a little on the side. He’s a surly motherfucker, but you can trust him. You can do the deal, give Saleh his money back, and be in front. Be safe.’ I would like to know what does " be in front" here mean . Thanks .November 30, 201720
- I’d had all of Concannon I could take for one long day??? ‘I mean, that faggot, think about it. If the whole world was like him, the human race would die out.’ ‘And if the whole world was like you, Concannon, we’d deserve to.’ It was hard; too hard. Who was I to throw stones? But I loved Didier, and I’d had all of Concannon I could take for one long day. His eyes flashed with sudden murderous fury, and I stared back at him, thinking that I’d been tied up and beat up that day, and he could stare all he wanted. I would like to know what does "I’d had all of Concannon I could take for one long day" here mean. Thanks.November 25, 201740
- loveliness issues??? ‘Me? I take issue with everything that isn’t already mine. And since I’ve let that cat out of the bag, I repeat, what issues do you have?’ ‘I have loveliness issues. But I’m in treatment.’ ‘Aversion therapy is said to be very effective,’ Naveen said, staring at Concannon. I would like to know what does " loveliness issues" here mean. Thanks .November 23, 201720
- triple-fronted ??? I rode past, glancing up at the tall windows of the triple-fronted mansion. Wooden storm shutters covered all the windows. Dusty, blood-red geraniums spilled over the rail of the first-floor balcony. They dripped all the way to the rusted iron spears on top of a security wall, concealing the ground floor. I would like to know what does " triple-fronted " here mean. Thanks.November 20, 201710
- forget-me-not eyes??? ‘Well, eighteen, then. And I saw you with him the other night at the Opera.’* She laughed nervously as she spoke, and watched him with her vague forget-me-not eyes. She was a curious woman, whose dresses always looked as if they had been designed in a rage and put on in a tempest. She was usually in love with somebody, and, as her passion was never returned, she had kept all her illusions. She tried to look picturesque, but only succeeded in being untidy. Her name was Victoria, and she had a perfect mania for going to church. I would like to know what does " forget-me-not eyes“ here mean. Thanks.November 17, 201720
