Neal Stephenson Quotes

She Eyes Him Warily. Exactly The Same Way She Did When He Came Into Her Office
years Ago.
It Comes Into His Mind To Wonder Why She Is Always So Alert In His Presence. In
college, He Used To Think That She Was Afraid Of His Intellect, But He's Known
for Years That This Is The Last Of Her Worries. At Black Sun Systems, He
figured That It Was Just Typical Female Guardedness -- Juanita Was Afraid He Was
trying To Get Her Into The Sack. But This, Too, Is Pretty Much Out Of The
question.
At This Late Date In His Romantic Career, He Is Just Canny Enough To Come Up
with A New Theory: She's Being Careful Because She Likes Him. She Likes Him In
spite Of Herself. He Is Exactly The Kind Of Tempting But Utterly Wrong Romantic
choice That A Smart Girl Like Juanita Must Learn To Avoid.
That's Definitely It. There's Something To Be Said For Getting Older.
