Malory

1 Often, these characteristics would be innate in the protagonist, for example Meredith in Mills's books, or Darrell Rivers in the Malory Towers series.

2 In Malory "Archer" creator Adam Reed gives us a woman who doesn't subscribe to the cultural expectation that a mother must nurture and support the child who wants to follow in her footsteps.

3 Seven hundred years ago—or it may have been fifteen hundred according to Malory’s notation-—people took dreams as seriously as the psychiatrists do today, and Lancelot’s had been a disturbing one.

4 O'Neill thinks the RSC audiences will find Malory's prose more accessible than Shakespeare's poetry, because "it's not as dense".

5 And, if in doubt, your niece can always return to Enid Blyton's Malory Towers, one of the most famous schools in fiction.

6 The little boy kneeled down to kiss his master’s hand— his surcoat, with the Malory bearings, looking absurdly new.

7 Malory, in contrast, left boarding school-aged Sterling at the train station when he returned home for the holidays and realized his mother never informed him that she'd moved.

8 Malory gives it Lancelot picked three knights who were recommended by the young damsel to go with him, and he arranged that all four of them should bear the ver- gescu.

9 My favorites were romantic adventures, like “Ivanhoe,” by Sir Walter Scott; “The Romance of King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table,” by Thomas Malory; and “Treasure Island” and “Kidnapped,” by Robert Louis Stevenson.

10 For the King, or at least this is how Malory interprets him, was the patron saint of chivalry.

11 If Sterling is one of the best spies in the world, that's because Malory never let him have anything easily, not even her affection.

12 Running to more than 200 pages, Tolkien's story was inspired by Geoffrey of Monmouth and Thomas Malory's tales of King Arthur, and is told in narrative verse.

13 But, as Sir Thomas Malory tells the young man, “it is not a comfortable thing to be a creature in someone else’s fictions.”

14 The place is beginning to sound more and more like a sinister Malory Towers where girls become flamey sacrifices if they don't finish their Latin prep by sundown.

15 “And ever,” says Malory, “Sir Lancelot wept, as he had been a child that had been beaten.”

16 A charity, the Seven Stories children's book centre in Newcastle, paid around £40,000 at the time for the haul, which included Malory Towers and Secret Seven books.

17 The title of "Archer" refers to Sterling, of course, although Malory has always been the brains and toughened heart of the operation.

18 Malory was just as likely to make an inappropriate remark about, say, Mexicans in Season 6 as she was in Season 1.

19 Malory also didn't go in for internal psychology, giving the actors little on which to base their characterisations.

20 She was sitting shyly in the bath looking at him, a charming little lady, who was—as Malory puts it—as naked as a needle.
