"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat."
First Time Barmaid by Louise Tonner (Author), Julie Peasgood (Narrator) very, very simple English from Introduction:
"...I'm a single mother of two boys. I've had a few part-time jobs and this story is about my first day at one of them. I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
Dedicated to my late mother, Patricia Tonner, who would often say , "you never know what you can do until you try." Without her encouragement I wouldn't have fulfilled my dream. Thank you, Mam. Also dedicated to my two sons Stephen and John.
It's my first night as a barmaid and it's my local pub. I'm scared stiff, I've never pulled a pint before. Bar people are out-going and chatty. I'm pretty quiet and shy.
"Why did I let you talk me into this job in the first place?" I say to may friend as we're walking to the pub.
"Come on, you'll love it. Just get tonight over with and tomorrow I'll be on with you. We'll have a good laugh," she says, laughing.
"That's if I get through tonight," I mutter..."
Two short stories, "Hop-Frog" and "Never Bet the Devil Your Head" by an American master Edgar Allan Poe, the first as a one-man reading, the second as a staged radio performance.
Never Be Lied to Again: How to Get the Truth In 5 Minutes or Less in Any Conversation or situation
When liars are being accused of something, they'll stay calm because
they're working on their rebuttal; this is why detectives were
suspicious of O.J. Simpson when he didn't express outrage when accused
of murdering his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman.
Never Be Lied to Again is bursting with tested tips like this for quickly determining when you're being boondoggled.Body language, facial expressions, sentence structure, and word choice can all reveal when someone is lying, says psychologist David J. Lieberman, and he includes 46 of these "clues to deception" to help you, including tricks for framing questions without putting others on the defense. Once you use your
newly honed "human lie detector" skills to figure out if you're being
lied to, you can then dig for the truth using the specific, influential
words and body postures that Lieberman suggests. Written with flair and
humor,
Never Be Lied to Again is designed to help you get the
upper hand in any situation, whether you're trying to figure out if
your spouse is cheating on you or if you suspect your coworkers are
cooking the books.
