"...Colourful cushions nestled into a wooden bench or a steel-framed chair not only promise comfort but add style and color. Every outdoor seating area should include a few lightweight, portable pieces for flexibility - tables that keep drinks and reading material closeby, and chairs that can be pulled right up to the warmth of a fire pit."

It was black, heavy wood at the hilt. The thing had been valuable once, before a thousand sharpenings had made the blade as thin as a lock pick. The healer whistled, looking at it.

"You can build three times as many small submarines for your money as big ones. Both parties had valid technical arguments. The experts made a big display of technical sketches and algebraic formulas; but the actual problem lay in quite a different sphere.
