Detecting Wisdom
by Emma Clyde
Observations by sleuth Marigold Rembrandt and Inspector Houlihan
Marigold: A scared rat has sharp fangs.
Marigold: If a woman thinks all she has is her body, life will treat her that way.
Inspector Houlihan: Sex or money. Money or sex. If it’s money and sex, all hell breaks loose.
Inspector Houlihan: Don’t hesitate to be tough.
Marigold: Avoid mean streets. If you can’t, be prepared.
Marigold: How sweet it is when the good guy has more firepower than the perp.
Marigold: If you have a secret, keep it.
Inspector Houlihan: A good cop always has your back.
Marigold: Pride is the serpent inside you.
Inspector Houlihan: Everybody lies. It’s up to us to figure out which lies matter.
Marigold: In a tight spot, stare down your accuser.
Marigold: A bad dream is your subconscious knocking on the door of a closed mind.
Inspector Houlihan: Never take anything for granted.
Marigold: Charm often disguises a weak character.
Inspector Houlihan: Sex can make a man into a damn fool. Ditto for a woman.
Marigold: Even a clever criminal isn’t always on guard.
Marigold: Watch out for wide eyes, a charlatan counterfeiting sincerity.
Inspector Houlihan: Accepting a favor is the first step to corruption.
Marigold: A man who cheats on his wife or a woman who cheats on her husband will cheat you, too.
Marigold: When a perp panics, anything can happen.
Inspector Houlihan: Listen for words that aren’t spoken.
Marigold: Self-absorption is the armor of the wicked.
Marigold: The imps of hell clap their hands in delight when you e-mail in haste.
Inspector Houlihan: Let people talk.
Marigold: There are many different ways to tell the truth.
