Nothing to ease my way out of the situation. There was no, "No, thank you." No, "I appreciate the offer, but no." None of that. If I didn’t let my ex pop my cherry after we'd dated for four months, then I sure as hell wasn't going to let this manipulative jackass do it. Six months with me in exchange for an extension? My virginity. "But I'll take you for six months in exchange for some more time."Īny sense I had in handling the biker gently went right out the friggin' window. "The same thing he did last time," Liam snickered. But better to save myself from the devil I knew than the one I didn't. I also didn't want to offend Liam more than necessary but I had a feeling that he was the type of person who didn't deal with rejection well. Or, at least beat the crap out of the other man, which was something he had no business doing because of his record and his career.ĭid I really want to risk him getting in trouble just because I'd been an idiot? He'd kill me.Īnd if he happened to walk out and see me talking to Liam, he'd probably kill us both. The sudden image of Dex's face was my second warning.

Goodwin, 76, who grew up in Rockville Centre, is a historian and author notably known for her biographies of the American presidents. Former Rockville Centre resident Doris Kearns Goodwin is one of seven writers to be inducted into the New York State Writers Hall of Fame on June 4. Rather, as Brands shows, the combined forces of collectivism and federal power helped westward migrants to seek fortune on the other side of the Mississippi, as government and colonist alike engaged in the “spoilage” of the western environment and chased riches while perpetrating “acts of violence against indigenous peoples, foreigners, and one another” (p. As he follows fur traders, missionaries, miners, soldiers, and many others who chased their “dreams of El Dorado” into the North American interior, Brands argues that it was not a mythic “American individualism” that enabled US westward expansion and brought occasional success to some of the western dreamers that appear in Dreams of El Dorado (p.

Judiciously parceling out strands of Indian history, Dalrymple shows that the unique Delhi ways have always been able to withstand the worst of wars and other calamities. At first, Dalrymple finds that much of the old life, including the belief in djinns, seems to have faded but after some digging, he learns that these old customs are simply hidden and very much alive. The title refers to the spirits that according to legend have, throughout the ages, watched over the inhabitants of Delhi. With his wife, Olivia Fraser (whose pen-and-ink illustrations help the book along), Dalrymple finds a Delhi that is still trying to overcome the traumas of British colonialism and the partition of 1947, in which most Muslims migrated from India to the newly created Pakistan and many Hindus, expelled from the Punjab, fled to Delhi, creating a new, less sophisticated class of resident. Dalrymple, whose debut book of travel writing, In Xanadu (not reviewed), received much praise, spent a year wandering around the dilapidated city of Delhi uncovering the layers of history found in its architectural and human ruins.
