Nothing very exciting I'm afraid.

"The girl's peculiar ability had proved useful in the past and undoubtedly could again"
(COT, Cadsuane about Min)

"While Reston continued to remain curious about the properties of the house, he had absolutely no desire to return there"
(House of Leaves)

"Gollum was tugging at Frodo's cloak and hissing with fear and impatience."
(LotR, Book Four, The Two Towers.)

"The ultimate purpose of the painstaking exactitude of scientific observations and measurements is to reach an understanding of why and how the observed phenomena occur and what their function is in the natural, physical or social world"
("The Nature of Scientific Research, Chapter 2 in "Studying Health and Disease" by K McConway (Ed), as part of the class I'm giving...)
The mystery deepens... I think. *MySmiley*
