💬 Quotations

Cartwright looked up from the Chamber’s Encyclopaedia […] One day he would get right to the end, to zythum. Not that he needed to. He had already peeped ahead and seen that it was a kind of ancient Egyptian beer, much recommended by Diodorus Siculus – whoever he was.

Stephen Fry, The Liar (1991)
