    "Brooks of Sheffield": "'Somebody's sharp.' 'Who is?'" asked the
    gentleman, laughing. I looked up quickly, being curious to know.
    "Only Brooks of Sheffield," said Mr. Murdstone. I was glad to
    find it was only Brooks of Sheffield; for at first I really
    thought that it was I.

Only, only, call me thine.

Miss: A title with which we brand unmarried women to indicate that they are in the market. Miss, Misses (Mrs.) and Mister (Mr.) are the three most distinctly disagreeable words in the language, in sound and sense. Two are corruptions of Mistress, the other of Master. If we must have them, let us be consistent and give one to the unmarried man. I venture to suggest Mush, abbreviated to MH.

I came to live in a country I love; some people label me a defector. I have loved men and women in my life; I've been labeled "the bisexual defector." Want to know another secret? I'm even ambidextrous. I don't like labels. Just call me Martina.
