From "The Pursuit of William Abbey" by Claire North -
"“They say I’m cursed.”
“Do you believe them?”
“Yes. I do.”
To my surprise, he smiled, and patted me on the back. “You are absolutely correct, Dr Abbey. It is marvellous.”
He sprang back to his feet as if propelled by a catapult, slung his jacket over one arm and his shoes round his neck, and gave his fiercest battle cry: “Now we drink iced beverages and celebrate."
