Boo-Boo Pennyroyal did not like her male and female slaves to mingle. In the operas that she adored, young people brought together in tragic circumstances were forever falling in love with each other and then throwing themselves off things (cliffs, mostly, but sometimes battlements, or rooftops, or the brinks of volcanoes).

Years ago, in my earliest and pastiest days as a would-be writer, I once read a new story aloud to S. and Boo Boo.

Once The Boo roamed this campus fierce, alert, and lion-voiced, and his wrath was a terrible thing.

While independent India had been founded by high-born, well-educated men, by the twenty-first century few such types stood for elections, or voted in them, since the wealthy had extra-democratic means of securing their social and economic interests.

It seemed to him that in Annawadi, fortunes derived not just from what people did, or how well they did it, but from the accidents and catastrophes they dodged. A decent life was the train that hadn't hit you, the slumlord you hadn't offended, the malaria you hadn't caught. ~ Katherine Boo

Saliva has antibacterial properties. It also has things called nerve growth factor, skin growth factor, histatins which help with wound closure.
