It All Comes Down to This 2017-07-11T00:00:00Z “Over there. The guy with the—” “Fisherman’s cap,” Lydia said, pointing. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z A month or so after Lydia left, Laydee saw one of Dill’s videos in Lydia’s Twitter feed. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z On Friday Lydia came to help her—or mainly to watch her pack. It All Comes Down to This 2017-07-11T00:00:00Z As if trying to persuade Lydia that it really was awesome, which was what he was doing. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Gerald and Lydia are tanner, leaner, a bit scantily dressed, Lydia in a white tank top and a denim wrap skirt, Gerald in wrinkled blue shorts, a green polo shirt faded with use. The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z Lydia said, a rising alarm in her voice. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “I never thought she was as hot as everyone else does,” Lydia said, after she’d gone. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z As Travis left, it occurred to Lydia that there was something different of late in his smile, with its two fake front teeth. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “I do not know. Mrs. Bennet and Lydia are going in the carriage to Meryton. And so, my dear sister, I find, from our uncle and aunt, that you have actually seen Pemberley.” Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z “We will go as far as Meryton with you,” said Catherine and Lydia. Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z “The staff never bugged me the way it does Lydia.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z When Lydia jumped off the bike, Dill took a quick look to make sure the coast was clear. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Every time he waffled, though, Lydia would whip out her phone or her laptop and show him the steadily increasing number of views, comments, and likes “Dearly” had. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z From countless trained and volunteer sources, including perhaps Lydia Darragh, Old Mom, and the egg seller, Washington got enough information to spoil the British plan. George Washington, Spymaster 2004-01-01T00:00:00Z “Very true; and if I had my will, we should. But my dear Lydia, I don’t at all like your going such a way off. Must it be so?” Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z “Fine. Lydia helped me get some good clothes for cheap.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He’s reading from his notebook, too, like he did the same thing as Lydia and copied down NRA talking points word for word. The Benefits of Being an Octopus 2018-09-04T00:00:00Z Lydia beamed as they drove, as though she knew some great secret. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Instead of staying with Gerald and Lydia, he and Maxine sleep in an unheated cabin down a path from the main house. The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z Once her mom was out of earshot, Lydia watched Dill’s videos again. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z But Gerald and Lydia decide against tea tonight; there is an I, Claudius video they want to watch before bed. The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z Lydia’s good cheer crumbled away in an instant. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Today’s Salvaging is now concluded,” Aunt Lydia announces into the mike. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z He was going to spend it on Lydia. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “That chili was really bad.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z The night before, when Lydia came to pick up Lily, she'd pulled me aside. It All Comes Down to This 2017-07-11T00:00:00Z “I guess I could’ve just told you that the song was called ‘Lydia’ and you’d probably have figured out that I wrote it for you.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He spends entire weekends holed up in the house, reading books from Gerald and Lydia’s shelves, admiring the sunlight that filters through the enormous unadorned windows during the course of the day. The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z With that small victory, Lydia resumed work on her admission essay. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Instead it is his knowledge that apart from their affluence, Gerald and Lydia are secure in a way his parents will never be.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia peers into the salad bowl, fishing out a stray piece of lettuce and eating it with her fingers. The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z From our spot in a clearing between some dried Lydia brooms and spiny mesquite brush, we watched the moon as it rose higher into the sky above the canyon rim. 100 Sideways Miles 2014-09-02T00:00:00Z “I didn’t tell Lydia to tell you to come buy my wood, by the way,” Travis said. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “I’m not doing a video of that one. That one’s just for you. I mean if you want—” But Lydia stood and cut him off with a kiss that felt like a summer storm. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia interrupted them by making a time-out sign. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “We can certainly arrange for you to do that more often,” Lydia said, a frigid edge to her voice. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia’s heart rate slowed a bit when she saw him breathe. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia ran upstairs and returned a few minutes later, having donned a more appropriate outfit for tromping through the woods. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “We need a real pizza place in this town,” Lydia said.

It All Comes Down to This 2017-07-11T00:00:00Z “But can you think that Lydia is so lost to everything but love of him as to consent to live with him on any terms other than marriage?” Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z Lydia rested her hand on Dill’s shoulder while she considered her next move. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He slipped and skidded on the wet grass and Lydia pounced. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia swept the ground using the LED from her cell phone. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Dill scooted closer to Lydia and put his arm around her. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia’s hair cascaded across his chest, forming tributaries and estuaries. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Dude, trust me. You will not want to have diarrheaed yourself for this surprise,” Lydia said, cutting him off. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia examined a wide, flat spot and brushed the dirt away. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He wanted to tell her how much he’d miss Lydia when she left; that that was part of the reason he wanted to go. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Tyson, do one of your name jokes for Travis,” Lydia said with a wicked grin. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Aunt Lydia thought she was very good at feeling for other people. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Lydia pulled into a parking lot where cars waited to pick up people at the terminal. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia sat in her car and tried calling Dill again. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Aunt Lydia waits a moment; then she gives a little smile and raises her whistle to her lips. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z With such kinds of histories of their parties and good jokes, did Lydia, assisted by Kitty’s hints and additions, endeavour to amuse her companions all the way to Longbourn. Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z It’s hard not to laugh, it’s the tension, and the look of irritation on Aunt Lydia’s face as she adjusts the sound. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Lydia never went anywhere without the perfect outfit. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z They got to the parking lot and formed a circle behind Lydia’s car. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia offered to clean the litter box, too. Woe Is I 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z How could they, said Aunt Lydia, oh how could they have done such a thing? The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “Nice to meet you, Marissa.

Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z I touch my shoulder to be close to my octopus tattoo and imagine my tentacles reaching out to cover Lydia’s notebook and suck up some of its confidence. The Benefits of Being an Octopus 2018-09-04T00:00:00Z “Yeah,” Lydia said, “but another year is a long time to eat subpar pizza.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Yr. loving daughter, Lydia Worthen She didn’t take the time to check her spelling. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z In the paint of the washroom cubicle someone unknown had scratched: Aunt Lydia sucks. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Jasmine turned, saw them standing there, and scowled at Lydia in particular. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z After one of their meetings, Lydia and Dill set out the few blocks to Riverbank Books. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia leaned back into the hollow of Dill’s body, warm and snug against his chest. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia rocked back in her chair with a smug bearing. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia set down her book with a smile. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z This is a good preview of what I have to look forward to in New York, Lydia thought. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z His cheeks flushed and he looked at the ground, preparing himself for whatever clever thing Lydia had to say. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “There’s a decent sign that college will be a lot different from Forrestville High,” Lydia said.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia knew Dill hated texting because it was so cumbersome on his ancient flip phone. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Pen Is Envy, Aunt Lydia would say, quoting another Center motto, warning us away from such objects. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Lydia motioned for Dill to follow her into the backyard. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Be that as it may, she saw him go with regret; and in this early example of what Lydia’s infamy must produce, found additional anguish as she reflected on that wretched business. Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z “Lydia’s dad is a dentist and her mom works too, and they don’t have our debts. No use comparing yourself to her.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia looked up from the blank page she was staring at on her screen while reminiscing. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia pulled herself from her reverie just as Travis bumbled into Good News, his hair still wet from the shower. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia and Maxine plan a special dinner, curling up with cookbooks for days beforehand on the beach.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He imagined long talks with Lydia in which they both discussed classes and new friends.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He knew that he sat, paralyzed, while Lydia and Travis stood, whooped, and tugged him out of his chair, pushing him toward the stage. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia had her baby carrots, pita chips, hummus, and Greek yogurt. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z They’d gone to a movie and then Lydia had dropped her back home.

The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “So, I know she’s been gone most of this week looking at colleges with her mom, but have you talked to Lydia since last Friday?” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “I hope you find your freedom as well, Miss Lydia,” he said. Lyddie 1991-02-01T00:00:00Z What you don’t know won’t tempt you, Aunt Lydia used to say. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z He told himself that it was a bad idea for him to read Lydia’s blog at that moment. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Aunt Lydia did not actually say this, but it was implicit in everything she did say. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z For another thing, Good News, a Christian-themed coffee shop, provided him with too many reminders of a world he didn’t like thinking about, especially when he was with Lydia. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z The engine whined as Lydia pushed it, going twice the speed limit most of the way. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z A sunshiny church youth group a few grades below Dill and Lydia came in and ordered cupcakes and smoothies. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z For this base action Zeus himself punished him: he sent him to Lydia to be a slave to the Queen, Omphale, some say for a year, some for three years. Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes 1942-01-01T00:00:00Z “In Nashville, school shopping for Lydia and Dill. I told you.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He told himself that he wasn’t consciously looking for an excuse to ruin Lydia’s mood. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Pentheus ordered his guards to seize and imprison the visitors, especially the leader, “whose face is flushed with wine, a cheating sorcerer from Lydia.” Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes 1942-01-01T00:00:00Z Lydia took a picture of a blank spot. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Silas sits at Lydia’s feet as they eat, and at one point Lydia slices off a generous portion of her meat and feeds it to him off of her palm.

In case you feel like listening to something different on your drive. The song ‘Lydia’ is on it.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia crossed her legs, holding her knee and rocking back casually. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “I had no idea those books meant that much to you, Travis,” Lydia murmured. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Do you regret us—” Lydia started to ask, in a hesitant murmur. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia sat on the crossbar, leaning her shoulder against Dill’s chest. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z I stand up from my chair, and Lydia looks up at me with a start.

The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “Oh! my dear Lydia,” she cried, “when shall we meet again?” Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z “Travis, you can bring the staff this time,” Lydia said, yanking him back to the present. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Dill and Lydia stood at Travis’s grave gazing at the fresh brown dirt covering it, long after everyone else had gone home. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Thanks to Lydia they had known about this. Johnny Tremain 1943-01-01T00:00:00Z But the moment Lydia said that, he realized that he contained yet undiscovered spaces being flooded with it. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Wickham’s affection for Lydia was just what Elizabeth had expected to find it; not equal to Lydia’s for him. Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z “This is good. I smell a blog post in this,” Lydia said. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Of course, there were plenty of the sort of people who probably would have tormented Dill and Lydia at Forrestville High, but they didn’t seem to enjoy any special status. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia gave him a cautioning glance and raised a finger, mouthing the words you promised. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia had the sense to bring her notebook with her, but she isn’t drawing any cats. The Benefits of Being an Octopus 2018-09-04T00:00:00Z “Oh!” said Lydia stoutly, “I am not afraid; for though I am the youngest, I’m the tallest.” Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z “I think lives are more than the sum of their parts,” Lydia said. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia’s dad had a fetish for industrial antiques.

The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z With a quick motion, Dill turned onto his side and raised himself up on his left elbow, his face about a foot from Lydia’s. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Gerald and Lydia think nothing, in the mornings, when he and Maxine join them downstairs in the kitchen, their hair uncombed, seeking bowls of cafe au lait and toasted slices of French bread and jam.

The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Yes, Janine, said Aunt Lydia, surprised, but knowing she could not refuse at this point. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Lydia had left all of her music on her computer when she gave it to him. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “I think about ten hours,” Lydia said, smacking a mosquito on her calf. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Lydia’s about to apply to every one of the best colleges in America; meanwhile, my mom is telling me to become a high school dropout.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia whipped out her phone and typed while April mulled. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Um...okay. So, this is a song I wrote for you. It’s called ‘Lydia.’” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “My parents almost named me Lydia.

The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z Every night he’d lie on his bed, the laptop resting on his chest, earbuds in his ears, exploring and discovering, swimming in the Sea of Lydia.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Before taking their seats, a particularly elaborate and beautiful flower arrangement caught Lydia’s eye. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He went back to looking at the photo album, and Lydia went upstairs. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia typed Dollywould into the browser and waited for it to load. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Even Christ had chased the moneylenders from the temple, and Lydia’s friendship was a temple to him.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z ‘Lydia,’ said Johnny, as he strolled over to the washerwoman, ‘I’ll help you with those clothes.’ Johnny Tremain 1943-01-01T00:00:00Z Lydia gave Tyson a condescending smile, furrowing her brow.

The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z He and Lydia didn’t speak at all on the way to school. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “But does Lydia know nothing of this? can she be ignorant of what you and Jane seem so well to understand?” Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z Lydia looked out the window and saw Travis’s truck laden with firewood. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z In one room he sees an oil portrait of a small girl he assumes is Maxine, sitting in the lap of a stunning, youthful Lydia, wearing a yellow sleeveless dress.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia reached out and smacked her dad on the forehead, as if swatting a mosquito. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia was exuberant over the coup she’d scored for Dill, her own clothing finds, and her stylish older new friend. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Hey, Lydia, maybe after you move away, when you come back to visit, we can all come here and add stuff to the Column,” Dill said.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z And it makes perfect but agonizing sense why the guy is sitting with Lydia and he’s not.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Yeah,” Lydia said, “but it’s not dangerous because of all the staff-wielding brigands. They have guns now. Gun beats staff in gun-staff-scissors.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia went to work on her spot, using her cell phone light.

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “Lydia. Come on with the language.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Al Gore was parked in the rear of the lot, Lydia’s preferred spot for quick after-school escapes.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z And Lydia is sitting at a coffee shop with the guy. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia jumped down the stairs, four at a time. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia gave him a mischievous grin—the one Dill had come to know all too well.

Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z He really did enjoy Lydia’s showing interest in his life. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He learns that the house, for all its beauty, has certain faults in the summer months, so that it makes all the more sense that it is a place Gerald and Lydia annually avoid. The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z Lydia turned to Dill and buried her face in his arm. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia doesn’t take her eyes off her laptop screen. The Benefits of Being an Octopus 2018-09-04T00:00:00Z We sing: Remember the name Of Lydia Pinkham, Whose remedies for women brought her FAME!

The Benefits of Being an Octopus 2018-09-04T00:00:00Z Poor Lydia’s situation must, at best, be bad enough; but that it was no worse, she had need to be thankful. Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z Lydia studied Madison with the look she’d give a clogged toilet. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Johnny gravely pinned a couple of shirts on the line, his mouth, like Lydia’s, full of wooden clothespins. Johnny Tremain 1943-01-01T00:00:00Z “Because it's still as true as when he drove it,” Lydia had told him. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia maintained her grip on Dill’s arm and gave the stink eye to a guy who glanced over as he walked past. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia tried taking a couple of pictures with her flash. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Then, Lydia nestled up close to Dill and laid her head where his chest met his arm. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z One whispered something to the other, as if to prove Lydia’s earlier point about whispers and stares. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He and Gary spent an hour and a half discussing the Bloodfall series while Dill and Lydia sat outside and talked.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He and Lydia lay on her bed, side by side, staring at the ceiling, exhausted, quiet. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “What, is he coming home, and without poor Lydia?” she cried. Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z Lydia glared at him and looked back at the road. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He went through his photos and found the best one that Lydia had taken of him with his staff.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z There is more than one kind of freedom, said Aunt Lydia. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “Okay, I love your look. How hot are you, seriously?” she said to Lydia. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia didn’t have any joke at the ready, which meant she liked the idea. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He gave serious consideration to the possibility that Lydia had hired them as plants. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia gaped as he opened the volume, and before he had, with very monotonous solemnity, read three pages, she interrupted him with: Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z Lydia closed her laptop and gave him a smug pat on the head. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia set down her phone and began typing a post about the road trip to Nashville, shopping at Attic, and some thoughts on the first day of school.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z It’s a risk you’re taking, said Aunt Lydia, but you are the shock troops, you will march out in advance, into dangerous territory. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z And Lydia is sitting on a bench with some guy. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia leaned over the counter and motioned at the laptop. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Come on, dude, you can do better than that,” Lydia said.

The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z He gets out of bed, convinced that it’s his parents calling to wish him a happy birthday, mortified that it will wake Gerald and Lydia from sleep. The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z “This complicates things,” Lydia said when they were done. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z She was not of so ungovernable a temper as Lydia; and, removed from the influence of Lydia’s example, she became, by proper attention and management, less irritable, less ignorant, and less insipid. Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z Standing on stage at the talent competition, looking into Lydia’s eyes. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z It was almost as though Lydia could read his mind. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z But this year, I don't even get to wish for the year to be over quicker, because that means no more Lydia. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “He texted me earlier. Maybe he ran out of battery,” Lydia said. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Very, very funny, Lydia. But you know what? I think you two might need some sleep.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Dill stood up from where he sat on Lydia’s bumper. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “I am sure I shall break mine,” said Lydia.

The Benefits of Being an Octopus 2018-09-04T00:00:00Z “I’ll really, really, really miss you,” Lydia said, and loosed the floodgates. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “Hey, Lydia, could you take a couple of pictures of me with my staff?” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Aunt Lydia allowed herself one of her pauses. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “Yes ma’am,” Lydia said, wiping at her eyes gingerly with her ring fingers, taking care not to poke herself with her fake nails. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z “When you talk about people still being here in ten years—” Lydia rolled her eyes. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z And then he was sitting by Lydia and Travis again, clutching his envelope. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z The experience had confirmed to Lydia that they’d make good roommates at NYU, which both of them had chosen as their top pick for college.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia sat in her bedroom at her stark, modern desk, bought on an Ikea run to Atlanta.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z He sat for a moment, not reaching for the door handle, before turning to Lydia. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z It isn’t simply the fact that his parents don’t know about Maxine, that they have no idea how much time he spends with her and Gerald and Lydia. The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z Why bash your head, said Aunt Lydia, against a wall? The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “You were supposed to be witnessing for Jesus to me,” Lydia murmured. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Elizabeth had frequently united with Jane in an endeavour to check the imprudence of Catherine and Lydia; but while they were supported by their mother’s indulgence, what chance could there be of improvement? Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z And then, out of nowhere, as if it were the most normal thing imaginable, Lydia reached out and took Dill’s hand. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lying alone under the ground, in the dark, while Lydia and I live and move forward and laugh.

The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lydia backhanded Dill in the chest and wiped away tears. The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z Lily wore the tiny gold posts that Lydia had used when she'd pierced Lily's ears in her bathroom in the spring. It All Comes Down to This 2017-07-11T00:00:00Z Lydia is tall and slender like her daughter, with straight iron-colored hair cut youthfully to frame her face. The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z Quickly, simultaneously, he falls in love with Maxine, the house, and Gerald and Lydia’s manner of living, for to know her and love her is to know and love all of these things. The Namesake 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z They also serve who only stand and wait, said Aunt Lydia. The Handmaid's Tale 1985-01-01T00:00:00Z “If we make haste,” said Lydia, as they walked along, “perhaps we may see something of Captain Carter before he goes.” Pride and Prejudice 1813-01-28T00:00:00Z “Hey, Lydia. So. I wrote this story. And you know writing and stuff. I wonder if you could read it for me and tell me what to do better.” The Serpent King 2016-03-08T00:00:00Z That worked out for her because the night before she'd gone to a birthday party for one of Lydia's cousins and she'd gotten back late. It All Comes Down to This 2017-07-11T00:00:00Z She and Lydia climbed into the backseat of the car and they drove off. The Best of Enemies 1996-04-01T00:00:00Z They walked out of the bookstore and sat on a low brick wall, where Lydia snapped a selfie of the two of them.
