How could I have thought such a thing? After speaking to him this evening, I can see that he doesn't look like the inspector at all.'

She had soft brown hair, pale, smooth skin, deep blue eyes and a lovely smile that lit up her face like sunshine.

He became like a homeless dog, wandering the streets in a mood of dark despair

It was more like the voice of a sick old man.

There was, however, still a trace of beauty in the sixteen-year-old lace, like pale sunlight beneath the thick clouds of a winter's dawn

I try to remember my face, I try to remember the colour of my hair or what my eyes look like

I remember Catherine's face, but she is not smiling like she is in the picture, and her blue eyes look scared and desperate

"You idiots! This is an investment bank! There's no money here! Everything is done by transfer." And he looks at us all like we are children, with that arrogant expression on his face

"Something like that," he says quietly.

"The sort of person like my monster of a wife."

But when his wife laughs, she sounds like a donkey.

I just need to wait for her like a good husband, he thinks.

She smiles that stupid, cow-like smile at them, and Oliver sees the idiot attendant smile back

I can get you a tea if you like," but she shakes her head and puts the bag at her feet

He stands there like a scarecrow in the dark

"Yeah, something like that."

"Oh, is that right? Me and Darwin live near there! It looks like we're neighbours!"

"He seems to like that bag very much." says Darwin.

"You don't like it here, do you, kid?" he says

He has to be stronger, he knows; he has to be more like Nick.

In the day, when it's hot and sunny like today, they don't worry about anything

You have to look like them," he says.

He needs to think like Nick.

He looks like any other foreign tourist

So he moves into the crowds like Nick does

What he sees inside looks just like from the movies: the clock, the wires and the heavy packs of something horrible and dangerous

"Well, I wonder what the other people at our table are like

And also a fire can look like an accident.

Would you like to join me?"

It is obvious what the decision will be, but it looks like he will be here until four now

What? Oh, who cares about her? She'll probably like prison, the crazy cow: more people for her to hurt

"Wait," Mrs Dawson says, and she looks like she might cry

And they will not like what you say

It feels like ice-cold water.

The door of your wardrobe is open, and the clothes inside look like three or four small burglars watching you

You pick it up, hold it like a club and swing it.

But, like I say, God is in the detail

"But, like I say, God is in the detail

Something like one of the heavy pews

The car is big and old, but it is a classic, and it moves along the road like a shark, the evening sun reflecting off the red paint.

"Yep," the cop says, "these roads are funny like that

It's small, too small for a tall man like him.

It is like constant thunder in the distance

That's enough time for them to get the money from Banff but not enough to do anything else like phone the cops

The falls: so beautiful, just like when he and Greg were kids

"God, what kind of kid goes to a school like this?"

"Not like my school."

"He doesn't like our new music teacher, Mr Cliff

"Well, students normally don't like teachers, do they?"

What a beauty, hey, lad?" And he looks to his son, Owen Junior, and he wants to see a smile on the boy's pale face, but, like always, there is nothing but disinterest.

Just like his mother's

And dark hair too, just like his mother's.

Junior does not like sports, he does not run, and the last time he came to the forest with Owen, he said that he was too cold and that the forest was boring.

But Owen does not like to think about that too much

"Well, it is, Son, but only like downloading films for free

That's a crime, that's illegal, but you still do that, don't you? Well, this is just like that

And Owen now notices that the boy actually looks a little bit like him after all and that he also smiles sometimes

Then maybe in a few years they can start to go for a pint like Owen and his father did.

There is a snap from behind the trees, and Owen thinks that maybe he should put his gun down, in a bush, nice and carefully like he told Junior to do

Behind him he can hear Junior, who sounds like he is very scared.

With a deck of cards in his hands, Jimmy was like a magician

He could cut and shuffle the deck like he had eight arms instead of two, and he could remember every card he saw in a split second and could use his fingers and little tricks to put the cards where he wanted them in the deck.

You see, there are two things you can do with a talent like that

Some people say that the reason his casino is called Shark Pool is because Hank looks a little like a shark

Do you understand that, Jimmy? Do you know how many kids like you come into my casino? No? Hundreds, thousands

Twenty tired faces: some talking, but most are silent and waiting like her.

I look like death, she thinks.

She cannot see his face because he has the hood of his sports jacket up, but he seems to be asleep, and there is something about his face that she does not like

They said none of the victims looked like they tried to fight

The strange man, the man who looks like the evil character from her thriller; his eyes are open now.

She stands up and looks in the corner of the carriage one more time, but it looks like the man is asleep.

You can't live like that

that's so sweet of you!" Taste-pots were great, because they weren't expensive, but gave you the taste of something luxurious like double chocolate ice cream

"You like it?"

It was one of the best illusions available in the simulator, because if you stood at the edge of the cliff, it really felt like you could fall.

A pod was like a simulator, but a million times better

Your whole body lay inside the pod and it was like your normal life was turned off

Then they changed to a sunny park, like the ones that their city used to have, and sat down to talk.

"It's like a pod experience, but you stay in for much longer," explained Ding

"You sound like your grandmother," joked Ding.

She'd never seen anything like it before.

Sala could see from her face that it hurt her to move like that

But I don't know how he can afford something like that."

"Do you think we'll ever be able to travel like you did?" Sala asked

Gran had a chip buried under her skin like everyone else, but she wore a bracelet to hide it as a small way of protesting about the government's tight control over everyone.

Story-streams were a little like the movies that people watched in the past

You can earn a lot of money for it - a real salary, like your mom's."

"Hey, don't look at me like that

"It doesn't sound like that." Sala banged her drink down

Can we talk? I'll come over, if you like."

"But I think it's like another world

So at least if we were both doing the same thing, it would almost feel like we were together."

Think of all those energy units! Why don't you like the idea?"

"I suppose it seems to me like losing control," she said.

I like to be independent, that's all

"Did your grandmother like it?" whispered a voice.

And then, just like the first time, the woman stepped quickly onto the walkway and was soon lost among the crowds.

"We're like explorers from the past," she said.

Would it really feel like she was swimming with dolphins in one of those?

"Fantastic, more like! That was the best thing I've ever done in my life

"You just said you'd like to do it."

They'd never had to make a big decision like this before, and she wished with all her heart that he wasn't making her choose

I'm just saying - maybe the world out there is not as terrible as the government would like us to believe."

It felt like a moment of magic: they'd never been so close.

His words felt like an earthquake breaking open their lives

Self-pity rose like a wave inside her.

"Sala! You look like you've seen a ghost!" said Mom

Here, we are free, and we have beauty all around us, but my heart breaks when I think of you trapped in that city, like a bird in a cage.

The government has lied to us - it's not contaminated like we've been told

Sala suddenly felt like crying

"You don't plan to sign up?" The way Leti said it, it sounded like an accusation.

But I'd like to see

"I'd like her to come with me."

It's like a prison, Sala thought.

Now it showed a robot working in a laboratory, its fingers like mechanical insects

The voices of the people in the hologram were strange and slow, like voices in a dream

It was like a tunnel, swallowing her up.

Sala felt like running away, but something made her keep going

Sala stepped into a room: an ordinary earth apartment, just like thousands of others.

And we don't like it when the government develops new kinds of control."

"Will you be long? I'd like a word."

For now, though, we want to help people like your grandmother

It just seems like a..

Even good ones like yours

And if, like Eston says, they really live freely in the outside world, you wouldn't want to stay here, would you?" Mom nodded

The girls were delighted, but inside, Sala felt like crying

We have to learn all about the history of the government and things like that

What use was it, seeing an avatar? It wasn't even completely like him

It wasn't like Gran to make her feel uncomfortable.

"I can try to contact them again, if you like."

People were coming and going from the main entrance, like last time, but the narrow passageway down the side looked dark and empty

you're not planning anything with that woman, are you? They teach us to report things like that." Report it? Sala's stomach turned to ice

"It certainly sounds like it

"I think the pod is like a drug

He's like a sleepwalker

"Actually, I'd really like to talk to Cham about his studies," she said

"It's just like this."

He seemed like the old Cham: thoughtful, kind

"I was afraid you'd say something like that."

"But how have they persuaded him to think like that?" asked Sala

She would not be their tool, used like Cham to pull other people in

With my straight hair and badly-fitting clothes I looked like an awkward schoolgirl.

But I don't suppose you remember an old woman like me?' And Mrs Van Hopper gave de Winter one of her biggest smiles.

But if he had a home like Manderley, he would never leave it

They were fat, rude women like herself

He looked like a man walking in his sleep.

'You can take the book and look at it, if you like,' de Winter said

I felt like a child going home after a party

It can sometimes be like a terrible illness.

When he saw me, he would smile and say, 'Well, how is the companion this morning? Where would you like to go?'

'If only we could keep our memories like scent in a bottle,' I said one day

'And what moment would you like to keep?' de Winter said with a smile.

Then I said quickly, 'I'd like to keep this moment and never forget it.'

'You would not be in this car now if you were like that,' he said.

I ask you to drive with me because I like you

I'd like you to call me that too.'

How would you like to see New York?'

I thought you didn't like Monte Carlo.'

We would say goodbye like two strangers.

I don't belong to a place like Manderley.'

'I don't like young men.' I was still afraid that Maxim would change his mind.

I was like a child on her first day at school.

The drive turned and twisted like a snake

The hand she placed in mine was cold and heavy, like something dead.

'Mrs Danvers asked if you would like to see your room.'

'What do the rooms in the east wing look like now?' he said.

'I'm sorry about that; I like the sea,' I said

'I hope you like the rooms

'She may not like me at first, of course.'

'Not like you? Why shouldn't she like you?' said Maxim and he came across the room and kissed me gently.

It was new for us to sit together quietly like this

I think you'll like Beatrice

If she doesn't like you, she'll tell you so.'

Rebecca would not have answered like that

How weak and childish it was! It was like the writing of a schoolgirl.

Beatrice was tall, broad-shouldered and very much like Maxim

Not like your description at all.'

There was a man standing on the shore, dressed like a fisherman

The man was still watching me, staring like a child

'I don't want you to look like that

'Why do you look like that?'

Maxim's smile was like a pat on the head given to Jasper.

I was dull and stupid, like a schoolgirl.

She often went out alone like that.'

And Manderley needs someone like you, someone young, fresh and charming.'

'Maxim would be very unhappy to hear you talking like this, Mrs de Winter

Then, like a child, I hid the envelope in the desk

I felt like a child again.

More like a servant than the mistress of Manderley

'Mr de Winter doesn't like people coming in here.'

'You're not like the other one,' he said

She had eyes like a snake

I did not like him at all.

I did not like the way that Favell spoke about Maxim

I'm afraid your husband doesn't like me very much

And, like Rebecca, he called Maxim 'Max'

'I'd like you to come very much, Beatrice,' I said.

What have you been doing with yourself? Have you done much sketching? Did you like the books I sent you? Have you had anyone to stay?'

'I did not like him,' I said.

I did not feel like sitting in the house by myself

'What about you? Would you like it?' he said.

'I think I rather like the idea,' I said with a smile.

'I'm the host, so I can do as I like.'

As usual, he was treating me like a child

I made sketches of some of the costumes, but I did not like any of them

'This is like old times,' said Beatrice, looking around

Yes, her dress was exactly like mine and she had the same curled hair

Why was Maxim looking like that? He moved towards the stairs.

Once, Beatrice came up to me and said, 'Why don't you sit down? You look like death.'

'I was afraid something like that would happen,' Frank said at last.

'You mustn't talk like that,' Frank said

I remembered Mrs Danvers smiling at me, like a devil

But she was a living woman like myself

She was not dead, like Rebecca

He has looked like that ever since she died.'

'How dare you speak to me like that? How dare you? You made me wear that dress last night

'Mr de Winter deserves his pain, marrying a young girl like you - and only ten months afterwards

You'll go to him like you did when Mr Favell came here.

It was like a game to her.'

It's not like drowning

Maxim is always a great help at times like this

'The big ship won't go down like the little one

He had never kissed me like this before.

You would like a son, wouldn't you? A boy to grow up at Manderley

Would you like a lift, Crawley?'

'Aren't you Mrs de Winter? You can wait inside if you like.'

'I'll go and see if you like,' the policeman said

Would you like to go in? There's an empty seat near the door.'

'I would like to say something else.'

'With those holes, sir, and the sea-cocks open, a small boat like Mrs de Winter's would soon sink

'I would like to ask you a question

He looked at me like a man saying goodbye for the last time

We began to kiss each other, like guilty lovers who had never kissed before.

And the light was red, red like blood

'I like your hair, Nathan!' says Bud, laughing

He does not like Bud.

He had thick dark hair like Danny's, a nose that resembled Danny's, and a rather delicate jawline like Danny's too.

She opened her eyes with a start because her mental image of him was too vivid, less like a memory than like a vision

Meanwhile, the sky grew darker by the second; massive storm clouds, like the clenched fists of celestial giants, squeezed the last light out of the day

At times like this, she wished that she and Michael were still together

Of course, if she and Michael were in bed right this minute, it wouldn't be like that at all

During the twelve years of their marriage, Tina had become a different and more complex person than she'd been on their wedding day, but Michael hadn't changed at all - and didn't like the woman that she had become

She almost would have preferred to discover someone lurking in the kitchen or crouching in a closet rather than be forced to look, at last, in that final space where sadness seemed to dwell like a tenant

He's been acting like an ass lately, but he'll get over it

Her inability to clean out his room suddenly frightened her; for the first time it seemed like more than just a weakness of spirit but an indication of serious mental illness

His printing was neat, like everything else about him, not sloppy like this scrawled message

The theater was shaped like an enormous fan, spreading under a high domed ceiling

You earned every penny you're gonna make out of this baby, just like I knew you would

She wasn't the sort of person who would snap over a thing like this

Not even a thing like this

Michael was behaving like a spiteful child

Beneath his cordial, witty, slightly cool exterior, his secret response was that of a healthy male animal, and her awareness of it was more instinctual than intellectual, like a mare's response to the stallion's first faint stirrings of desire.

As Vivienne reached the back of the house, the crescent moon slid out from behind one of the few thin clouds, like a scimitar being drawn from a scabbard, and the pale shadows of palms and melaleucas shivered on the lunar-silvered concrete patio.

A life like that would be intolerable.

But she wasn't completely in control of herself; she felt a bit like a sleepwalker

He was interested primarily in learning more about the mind that could create a work like Magyck! He had seen less than one-fourth of the program, yet he knew it was a hit - and far superior to others of its kind

After a moment the other two models ceased their erratic dancing and began to spin around and around, like the first plane, as if they were actually flying, and there was no mistaking this deliberate movement for the random effects of a draft.

Now this was only a young boy's bedroom, a room like countless thousands of others.

"In the middle of dinner, I might be seized by a desperate need to dash over here and act like a producer."

And if Michael had slipped into the house like a little boy playing a cruel prank, if he had written that message on the chalkboard, then his hatred of her was far greater than she had thought

I like it

The huge room was so noisy that the blend of sounds seemed to coalesce into a visible substance - like a humid yellow haze in the air

But once in a while, a guy really loses track, doesn't get up for hours and hours, just keeps on playing like a zombie

He was trying so hard to be nice, which wasn't like Michael at all

At least it wasn't like the Michael Evans she had known for the past couple of years

"But my favorite is what we call the 'time-warp syndrome.' People come here from a lot of dull places, and Vegas is like an adult Disneyland

As soon as I saw you, I knew everything was going to turn out exactly like I had it figured."

It won't be like before."

I'm sure there's a lot of work to do on a show like Magyck! Even after, it opens

Jesus, I was babbling like an idiot, wasn't I? I didn't let you do it your way

No one gets a show like Magyck! Off the ground by dabbling

A lot of our regular junketeers and high rollers couldn't make it to the VIP opening of Magyck! I'd like you to get their names from the computer, plus a list of the wedding anniversaries of those who're married."

We'll sell it this way: 'Spend the magic night of your anniversary in the magic world of Magyck!' Something like that

"The casino bosses will like it too, 'cause a lot of our high rollers will probably make an extra trip this year

Fear, like an uncoiling snake, twisted and slithered inside of her, and she shivered.

She took hold of the two lines - one heavy cable and one ordinary insulated wire - and they seemed to come alive in her hands, like a pair of snakes, resisting her

The bus opened like a tin can and rolled another hundred feet into the trees.

"Why? Why did a man like Bill Jaborski do something so stupid as that?"

"He sounds like an excellent candidate to me."

I didn't dwell on it when I was alone, like I'd done for so long

"What are they like?"

Do you really think you're so far gone that you could do something like that and not remember it? Do you think you've got multiple personalities and one doesn't know what the others are up to?"

If Danny were alive, and if someone were trying to get that news to you, it wouldn't be done like this, not with all these dramatic hints

Right? Who knows what might make a person like that reveal himself? If he finds out there's going to be an exhumation, maybe he'll react strongly, give himself away

"Have you ever handled anything like this before?"

Really, though, it wasn't like what you see in the movies

"I like to see a man being domestic."

"What if you cooked something for me, and I didn't like it?"

Besides, you can help by doing the drudgery, like cleaning the vegetables and chopping the onions."

Although she was different from Nancy in many ways, being with her was like being with Nancy

Suddenly it seemed to her that she had done a mad, stupid thing when she'd hidden away like a nun for two years

Now she felt like an inexperienced girl

She told herself that sex was just like riding a bicycle, impossible to un learn, but the frivolousness of that analogy didn't increase her self-confidence.

Maybe it really was a bit like riding a bicycle.

She felt as if the two of them had been here, like this, locked in an embrace, many times before.

On the brown hills, the huge houses thrust like the bleak monuments of an ancient, dead religion

Elliot didn't tell the judge about the malicious prankster, for that seemed like an unnecessary complication; he still believed that once the fact of Danny's death was established by the exhumation, the quickest and surest way of dealing with the harassment was to hire a first-rate firm of private investigators to track down the perpetrator

Harry Kennebeck had a poker face that also looked like a poker - hard and plain, dark - and it was difficult to tell if he had any sympathy whatsoever for Tina's plight

"As long as there aren't any religious objections, the law requires the permission of only one parent in a case like this," Elliot said.

"I wouldn't like that," Kennebeck said thoughtfully

The conversations were like those in which he was involved at work, eight or ten hours a day, five days a week and he didn't intend to spend a holiday nattering about the same damned things.

He was considerably more formidable than his associate: tall, rough-edged, with large, big-knuckled, leathery hands - like something that had escaped from a recombinant DNA lab experimenting in the crossbreeding of human beings with bears

Inside, he was vibrating like a tuning fork.

They looked and acted like organization men, even though the big one was rough enough at the edges to pass for a common thug

The truth of it isn't anything like the version everyone's been told

Vince's face darkened like a slab of Spam on a hot griddle

Now sit down at the table like a good boy."

In every repulsive detail, he was precisely like the hideous creature that stalked her nightmares.

Feeling slightly foolish, like an easily spooked old woman, Tina said, "I'm sorry

I like that

It's a little bit like our house

"Doesn't smell like there's trouble here," she said.

If I really believed there was even the tiniest chance of anything like that, would I be standing here so cheerful?"

"It's best to be thorough in a situation like this."

You know what this fist is going to feel like when it hits, little man?"

Elliot had a pretty good idea of what it would feel like, and he was sweating under his arms and in the small of his back, but he didn't move, and he didn't respond to the stranger's taunting.

"It's going to feel like a freight train ramming straight through you," Vince said

Vince bent forward, gagging, and Elliot slammed the butt of the gun against the side of his head, with a sound like stone meeting stone.

She took the graphic novel out of the carton and sat on the edge of the bed in the tarnished-copper sunlight that fell like a shower of pennies through the window.

The roots of all dreams were to be found in the store of experiences in the psyche; dreams were not sent like ethereal telegrams from spirits or gods or demons

"Nothing like that here."

"I'd sure like to interrogate Vince, but we can't

And in a small local election like the one Kennebeck won, stacking the deck would be easy if you had enough money and government muscle behind you."

"What kind of government agency would have the authority to circumvent the law like this? What kind of agency would be empowered to kill innocent civilians who got in its way?"

It isn't hopeless, Tina, and it's not like you to give up so easily."

That sounds more like the Christina Evans I know."

"I like it better when you're on top," he said, and he winked at her.

"Now," Tina said, "just like Death tried to stop the parents in the story, someone's trying to stop me from opening my son's grave."

Elliot swung the car around and started back toward the lights of the city, which spread like a vast, glowing fungus on the black desert plain.

That was a bizarre thought, not at all the sort of notion he'd ordinarily get in his head, and he didn't like it.

like a presence..

"At a time like this."

There were no more intriguing tidbits like Project Pandora, no more clues or leads.

If they hadn't seen their kids' bodies, they might have just gone through a year of doubt like you did, might be easily persuaded to join us in a call for the reopening of all the graves

But if the other people had a chance to view the bodies, if none of them has had any reason to entertain doubts like yours, then they're all just finally learning to cope with the tragedy

I think we'll have to take the story out of town, and before we do that, I'd like to have a few more facts."

Ideally, I'd even like to be able to hand the reporter a neat theory about what really happened to those scouts, something sensational that he can hook his story onto."

I can't see what else would have brought an organization like Vince's so deeply into this

And I'm not just talking about the obvious ones like Nellis Air Force Base and the Nuclear Test Site

Lincoln, and the boys stumbled across a place like that in the Sierras?"

He's just like the two men who came to see me

She felt as if a vast unbridgeable gap separated her from people like these, and she wondered if she ever again would be as relaxed and free from care as these diners were at this moment.

Her heartbeat became less like the pounding of a jackhammer, but it still did not settle into a normal rhythm; now it was affected by excitement rather than terror

"Listen," she said excitedly, "we thought someone was sending me messages about Danny being alive just to rub my face in the fact that he was actually dead - or to let me know, in a roundabout fashion, that the way he died wasn't anything like what I'd been told

It's like..

almost like a vision

Maybe there was an accident, but it wasn't like anything we were told

I don't know how long they think they can keep him bottled up like this

He certainly wasn't old enough to remember all the cards that were dealt and calculate his chances from that, like some of the very best players can do

"Winning a few hands at blackjack - that's luck, just like you said

And even if those were examples of psychic ability, little tricks like that are light-years from what you're attributing to Danny now."

Sheets, puffs, and spinning funnels of vaguely phosphorescent dust moved like specters through the night.

If Danny's sending me messages in dreams, it's only natural he'd use images he was familiar with - like a monster out of a favorite horror story."

Obviously, like I told you, Danny isn't telepathic exactly

"We sound like a couple of prime candidates for a padded cell."

Damn it, I can't," he said, sounding like a priest whose faith had been deeply shaken

"Stop thinking like an attorney," she said

"If you discover he's dead, it'll be like losing him all over again."

"I'm no doctor," Bruckster said, "but it sure looks like a heart attack to me, the way he dropped like a stone, same way my uncle Ned went down last Fourth of July right in the middle of the fireworks display."

And that was where the paradox jumped up like a jack-in-the-box

I'm not at all like Alexander

"Our relationship was never like that

"You don't like my company?"

He didn't like it

"So it's like I said." Alexander's crooked smile appeared

I don't think it's a good idea to hit Stryker and the woman in a public place like an airport."

The window was constructed like a sandwich: Two one-inch-thick panes of shatterproof glass surrounded an inch-wide space filled with an inert gas

Two panes of iron like glass

That's why we're stuck with night-shift, baby-sitting duty like this."

If there's any government on earth capable of using a weapon like this, it's them - or the North Koreans or the Iraqis

While we're working so hard to keep ahead of our enemies, aren't we perhaps becoming more like them? Aren't we becoming a totalitarian state, the very thing we say we despise?"

The long driveway curved up and to the right, like a width of black funeral bunting draped across the rising, snow-shrouded lawn

Twin plumes of crystallized breath trailed behind them, like ghosts.

But like you said, that was in the army

It seemed more like a hundred miles

"That's probably more like it," he admitted.

"It's like a prison," Tina said.

"If a man kills only for the pleasure of it, or if he kills only for an ideal like some of these crackpot revolutionaries you read about, that's savagery..

These diplomatic and intelligence-gathering assignments were never an insult to his family name, but they were always minor postings to embassies in smaller countries like Iceland and Ecuador and Tonga, nothing for which The New York Times would deign to acknowledge his existence.

More shocking still to the sensibilities of patrician Easterners like them: on three occasions, in South America, Alexander had been in a position where it had been necessary for him to pull the assassin's trigger himself

She was peripherally aware of a soft, fire like glow from beyond the cleft, and of a mysterious figure silhouetted against that reddish backdrop

We can't just charge in like the cavalry

Always sounded like the worst sort of bunkum to me."

"Well, bunkum or not, I'm going to try something like that

"Don't you have to be in a trance, like a medium at a seance?"

It flapped noisily to the other end of the room and then back again, finally falling like a dead bird onto the floor at Elliot's feet.

Billy Sandstone was in his late thirties, as small and lean as a jockey, and his watchword seemed to be "neatness." His shoes shone like black mirrors

"This really doesn't seem like you."

You're just the method of transmission - like a telephone."

The corners curled and uncurled, curled and uncurled, again and again, like the pulse of a living thing.

It didn't swoop and dart uncontrollably this time; it crept carefully, hesitantly across the paper, leaving a thin red line of ink like a thread of blood.

"It's not going to be easy getting into country like that," Elliot said.

"There's a word I don't like

"You two sound like you're in a war," Billy Sandstone said uneasily.

"You know what it's like down there this time of year

The roses in the crystal vase twirled around like a group of spinning, redheaded ballerinas.

"Can a couple of people like us really have a chance of winning when we're up against something as big as the government itself?"

They looked like a couple of skiers on their way to the slopes.

"Looks more like the road they always take in those old movies when they're on their way to Dracula's castle."

It does look like the road to Dracula's castle."

"Just like the heating system in that isolation chamber is functioning properly," Zachariah said.

If you keep coming up with weird suggestions like that, I'll have to run a maintenance check on you, Carl."

The trees hung low, lower, lower still, until, at last, the ice-crusted evergreen boughs frequently scraped across the roof of the Explorer with a sound like fingernails being drawn down a blackboard.

"They make it sound like someone's hunting lodge," Tina said.

"Doesn't look like there's a lot of people inside," Tina said

On its breath were sprays of snow like icy spittle.

Fortunately, Danny came through like a prince

The flakes were hard, dry, and granular; they hissed like driven sand across the Perspex windscreen.

It hurts like hell, but it isn't serious

They stepped into a hallway exactly like the one they had left upstairs.

Danny seemed able to work miracles with inanimate objects, but he could not control people, like the guard upstairs, whom Elliot had been forced to shoot

As Tina and Elliot reached that barrier, the wheel-like handle in the center spun around

To the right of the window was another airtight door like the one through which they'd just entered

"It's like breaking in a wild horse."

A particularly fierce blast of wind drove snow into the windscreen with such force that, to Kurt Hensen, it sounded like shotgun pellets.

Indeed, he looked like a little old man.

It's like strep throat or the common cold or like cancer, because you can get it again and again..

He was a rag doll with only meager scraps of stuffing, a fragile and timorous creature, nothing whatsoever like the happy, vibrant, active boy that he had once been

When she pulled him into her lap, he trailed wires that led from electrodes on his skin to the monitoring machines around the bed, like an abandoned marionette

Occasionally wind found the aircraft and pummeled it, but the chopper bobbed and weaved like a good boxer, and it no longer seemed in danger of being dealt a knockout punch.

The Chinese have three like it

Elliot said, "But if racing to keep up with the Chinese - or the Russians or the Iraqis - can create situations like the one we've got here, where an innocent child gets ground up in the machine, then aren't we just becoming monsters too? Aren't we letting our fears of the enemy turn us into them? And isn't that just another way of losing the war?"

So megalomaniacs like Tamaguchi get involved

Men like Aaron Zachariah here

But if we closed up shop, if we stopped doing this sort of research just because we were afraid of men like Tamaguchi winding up in charge of it, we'd be conceding so much ground to our enemies that we wouldn't survive for long

And like syphilis, Wuhan-400 can't survive outside a living human body for longer than a minute, which means it can't permanently contaminate objects or entire places the way anthrax and other virulent microorganisms can

The virus migrates to the brain stem, and there it begins secreting a toxin that literally eats away brain tissue like battery acid dissolving cheesecloth

"They probably did look a little bit like spacemen in their decontamination suits

For as long as he could remember, he had been fascinated with death, with the mechanics and the meaning of it, and he had longed to know what it was like on the other side - without, of course, wishing to commit himself to a one-way journey there

One day maybe he would be standing in a graveyard, before the tombstone of one of his victims, and the person he had killed would reach out to him from beyond and let him see, in some vivid clairvoyant fashion, exactly what death was like

Alexander peered anxiously through the sheeting snow into which the chopper moved like a blind man running full-steam into endless darkness

He couldn't keep anything in his stomach because recently they've been reinfecting him, testing him to destruction, like I said

If they all left, they'd just be turning the place over to men like Tamaguchi and Zachariah, and there wouldn't be anyone around to balance things

The balance of power with totalitarian states like China has to be maintained

Was it one of the security people, or was it someone on the medical staff? I'd like to think it was a doctor, one of my own, who finally did the right thing."

They're like the monster in the comic book

I simply said, "Well, a red-hot glowing road is a great visual." In fact, it would be such a fantastic visual that it would be visible at night from orbiting satellites, like a neon arrow pointing toward the secret installation that it served.

He didn't like the black Americans, so during the Civil War he fought against the men from the North, and with those from the South

always worked like that.'

If anyone could see me turn on the light to answer it, I suppose I would look like any other sleepy man annoyed at being disturbed

'Would you like us to get one of your men to do it?'

Feeling more and more like Commissaire Charas, but trying to look unconcerned, I went on:

'Just as you like,' said my sister-in-law

'It's possible because the atoms that make up objects are not close together like the bricks of a wall

I'd be afraid of coming out at the other end like your ashtray.'

That month of waiting seemed like a year

Instead of his hand, a grey stick like the branch of a tree hung out of his sleeve, almost down to his knee.

I examined all the many flies we caught that day, but none had anything like a white head

'I would like to show you a very strange document after dinner, Charas,' I said.

'I would like you to read this, Charas,' I said

I would like to burn it afterwards.'

"I like that hat!" he says.

"Do you like my new hat?"

"I like hats," Bernardo says

"And I like this hat."

She thinks, "I like him

"Do you like hats?" Gina asks him.

'I rather like Miss Marple,' I said

It's so mysterious, isn't it, the way she suddenly rented a house here, and hardly ever goes outside it? It's like a detective story

'You must not say things like that, Lettice.'

'Don't you think,' said my wife, 'that Miss Cram might just like having an interesting job?'

'How like Colonel Protheroe, and what nonsense,' said Mrs Price Ridley.

'Very like Colonel Protheroe, but perhaps it was not nonsense,' said Miss Marple

'Oh, how I would like some excitement,' Griselda said

'Looks like it.'

'Yes, but I'd like to tell you...'

'I'd just like to tell...' I began.

We allowed ourselves to be pushed out like children.

He went in, threw down the pistol, and said, "I did it." Just like that.' Satisfied, she left the room.

He looked like a mad man

'No, if you were committing a murder, you'd be very careful about things like that.'

'I didn't like him, of course

I did it." Just like that.'

Then we would like to ask you a few questions.'

'It must have been after six - quarter past - something like that.'

A good soldier like you doesn't know about these things.'

Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out

I like them both.'

This morning he had looked like a man free from worry

I am in great trouble and would like your advice.

When you get to my age, you will find that you like to think the best of people.'

'But I suddenly thought that I'd like to see Miss Marple first.'

Would you like to know something?'

'Would you like to come to my cottage?'

'I wouldn't like to upset you or Mrs Clement.'

'How like Lettice,' said Dennis lovingly

'She doesn't even like him

'You know,' I said gently, 'not all girls are like Lettice Protheroe.'

'You don't like her

Could you and the vicar come for lunch today? Something strange has happened, and I would like Mr Clement's advice.

'It doesn't sound like me, does it?' said Anne.

But what does he want to come and see me for? I don't like it! I never suggested that he was guilty

'Because a man like Archer wouldn't kill a man with a pistol

So I would like your advice about whether to go to the police or not.

Just because you're much older than I am, you think that I might like other men more than you.'

'I thought you didn't like him.'

But I'm sorry for a lot of people I don't like

'Looks like picric acid.'

I would very much like to talk to you

I would like to explain.' She paused, and I offered her a chair

But why didn't the stupid fellow destroy this one? It just proves he's guilty! Listen, that sounds like a car.' He went to the window

I found it hard to imagine Griselda like that.

Thick clouds of smoke or dust, which looked like little grey, moving spots through a powerful telescope on Earth, spread through the clearness of the planet's atmosphere and hid its more familiar features.

The uncovered part looked like an enormous cylinder, about thirty metres across each end

They printed stories like:

I don't like it

But, looking, I soon saw something grey moving within the shadow, then two shining circles - like eyes

Then something like a little grey snake, about the thickness of a walking-stick, came out of the middle and moved through the air towards me - and then another.

As it moved up and caught the light, it shone like wet leather

Suddenly, like a thing falling on me from above, came fear

My terror had fallen from me like a piece of clothing

The silent common, my escape, the flames, seemed like a dream

He turned, stared, shouted something about 'crawling out in a thing like a dish cover', and moved on to the gate of the next house

Just after this came the first lightning of the storm, and the thunder burst like a gun overhead

Then there was a great flash like daylight and this strange object could be seen clearly.

Then suddenly he sat down at the table, put his head on his arms and began to cry like a little boy

'What do they look like?' asked the officer.

It seemed like any other Sunday - except for the empty houses, and the other ones where people were packing.

Besides this, Londoners are very used to feeling safe, and exciting news is so normal in the papers that they could read reports like this without great fear:

No one in London knew what the Martians looked like, and there was still a fixed idea that they must be slow: 'crawling', 'moving painfully' - words like these were in all the earlier reports

They were described as, 'great machines like spiders, nearly thirty metres high, as fast as an express train, and able to shoot out a beam of strong heat.'

My brother turned towards Victoria station, and met a number of people like these

Towards Sunbury there was something dark, like a hill, hiding our view of the country further away

This rose up in a cloud shaped like a hill, then sank and spread itself slowly over the surrounding country

It was heavy, this smoke, so when it began to sink down it behaved like a liquid, running down hills and into the valleys

A number of people now, like my brother, were moving to the east, and some were even so desperate that they turned back towards London to get food

The Martian was thrown back by the violence of the explosion, and in another moment the burning wreckage, still moving forwards, had broken the Martian like something made of wood

For hours we lay there in the darkness, while from outside came the sounds of hammering and then, after some time, a sound like an engine

This machine was shaped like a spider with five legs and a great number of tentacles

In the back of the head, or body - I do not really know what to call it - there was a flat surface like the skin of a drum, which we now know worked as an ear

Around the mouth were sixteen thin, whip-like tentacles, arranged in two groups of eight

These worked like hands.

A young Martian, we now know, was born on Earth during the war, and it was found growing out of the body of its parent, just like some young plants.

When I looked again, the busy building-machine had already put together several of the pieces of metal from inside the cylinder into a shape that was very like its own

But on the fourth or fifth night I heard a sound like heavy guns.

Then I heard a noise exactly like the sound of big guns

It was like a black snake moving its head from side to side.

The Martians, it seemed, had killed and eaten everyone around there, except for a few lucky ones like myself

But men like me are going to go on living - so human beings can continue

But not all of us can live like animals, and that's how we'll have to live

The ones the Martians capture will be like farm animals; in a few years they'll be big, beautiful, stupid - rubbish

That's just living like rats

That's why men like you are needed

We talked like this through the early morning, and later came out of the bushes

For the first time I began to think that there was some distance between his dreams and his powers, because I could dig a hole like this in a day

Where there was no black powder, it was curiously like Sunday in the financial area of London, with the closed shops, the houses locked up and the curtains closed

London around me looked like a city of ghosts

There, on the top, high against the early morning stars, was a third Martian, standing still like the others.

I have learned since then that I was not the first discoverer of the Martian defeat -several wanderers like me had already known about it on the previous night

Sherlock Holmes did not like aimless physical exercise, but one spring day I persuaded him to go for a walk with me in the park

So, this man must like his pipe very much if he prefers to mend it instead of buying a new one with the same money.'

Suddenly a barrier appeared between us, and she has become like a stranger to me

Well, I like walking past that cottage, and last Monday, as I walked past the cott age I saw an empty van going away from the cottage, and furniture in front of the cottage

Why are you looking at me like that? Are you angry with me?"

If you sleep any more, you're dead! However, I like your idea of a holiday on the River Thames.'

The only one who didn't like the idea was Montmorency, my fox-terrier

'You like the idea, but I don't,' his face said

I don't like looking at the trees

Montmorency doesn't like the quiet life

He looks like a good, well-behaved dog

Harris is always like this

My old Uncle Podger was just like Harris

It will be like a little house, warm and comfortable.'

The pies were crushed, just like the tomato.

People like the river and the sun

I don't like visiting churches, but Harris loves it.

I don't like tea

'You donkey! I Why can't you be careful with things? Why don't you go and get dressed on the river bank? People like you don't know how to live on a boat!'

It's almost like flying

It was like a dream

'An intelligent man like you must do better things

I like cats

Neither spoke, but the conversation was probably like this:

The first potato we peeled looked like a pea.

Do it like this.'

It's men like you, George, who slow down the progress of our world.'

I didn't like this idea, and I said, 'No, Harris

It's not because I don't like work

I like collecting it

This man had slept on the river in a wet boat, like ours

The trouble is, her big sister - sensible, married Connie - won't like it at all...

As Mercy puts the cover on her typewriter, the thought of the bus ride home goes through her like a pain

She knows it will take some time before she'll be brave enough to ask for things like that from him

Would it really be so dangerous? Doesn't one government car look like another - the hugeness of it, the dark glass, the driver in uniform? She can already see herself stepping out of the car to greet the other girls, who look at her with eyes like knives

'Sissie, I don't like what you are doing

'Joe is - mm, fine - but, but I just don't like him.'

But men are like that.'

It's women like you who keep all of us down.'

They feel a little small, but then all new shoes are like that.'

'I like it very much, too..

Handsome, maybe not rich like this man here, but with enough money to afford a fast car

A car like the ones she has seen in films, with tyres that can do everything..

'Then it's my duty, a sister's duty, to tell her about something like this

He hates tears, because, like many men, he knows they are one of the strongest weapons that women have.

I won't let you question me like a prisoner every time I am a little late.'

'What will her face be like?' I asked myself as she got nearer

'I like a quiet life, and recently I had such an adventure that I don't want another one for years.' As we ate breakfast side by side like two old friends, I told Miss Halcombe about the woman in white

"I like little Anne a lot

"'The other reason I like Anne is that she looks very much like Laura

She isn't as pretty, but her hair, eyes, and figure are exactly like Laura's.'"

There stood Miss Fairlie, alone outside in the moonlight, looking exactly like the woman in white! I suddenly realised that the 'something missing' was this: my realisation of the disturbing similarity between the fugitive from the asylum and my student at Limmeridge House.

Until you came here, Laura was like hundreds of other women who marry without being attracted to their husbands

He treated Miss Halcombe like an old friend, was polite and friendly to me, and treated Miss Fairlie with tenderness and respect

Her father had been my good friend, and his daughter was like a daughter to me

The man was too lazy to look after the interests of his own niece! I went to Limmeridge the next day and told him that no one should sign a marriage settlement like this - it gave the husband a large financial interest in the death of his wife! But Mr Fairlie did not want to listen

And her husband? What can I say of Count Fosco? He has certainly tamed his wife, and he looks like a man who could tame a tiger

He interests and attracts me; he forces me to like him

He is enormously fat, and his face looks like Napoleon's

I have never before met a man like Count Fosco

I am very glad he is not my enemy, but is this because I like him or because I am afraid of him?

Marian, she looks like a paler, thinner version of myself! She says that she's dying

I can't stay in a house where women are treated like this.'

'What does she look like?' asked the Count

'She looks like my wife

Now she looked like the Laura I first met at Limmeridge: her expression was lively once more, she smiled frequently, and she had lost that sad nervous look that made her so very like Anne Catherick

She was very like Laura, and Laura was very like her father

Throughout her long illness, I had been like a brother to her

Each member of the Brotherhood has a scar like this one on his arm.' Pesca rolled up his sleeve and showed me a small red scar

In England, writers like Catharine Macaulay, Mary Wollstonecraft, Hester Chapone and Hannah More all wrote about female education

Since then, many women have fought for female education - women like Margaret Bancroft and Jane Addams in the United States of America (USA), and Maria Montessori in Italy

But the Taliban did not like it.

In the next few years, Malala met with girls around the world, and she met with many politicians, like the President of the USA, Barack Obama

This is because of things like war, or because girls have to get married when they are very young

They learned things they needed for family life, like how to cook.

Some people did not like what the suffragettes were doing

Emmeline, like many of the suffragettes, was put in prison many times

In Saudi Arabia and some other countries, like Pakistan, it is difficult for women to go out to vote

This is thanks to brave women like Emmeline Pankhurst and Hatoon al-Fassi who fought so hard and won.

It uses a lot of social media - like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter - and has been led by the MeToo movement.

Women in northern Europe and in places like the United Kingdom, the USA and Australia were all fighting for the vote in the last years of the 1890s and the early years of the 20th century.

But, during these times, countries like China, Egypt and Iran had feminist movements, too

But our gender is made by our society As we grow, society teaches us how to act like women

Women, said Simone, are always described as "The Other" - she means that women do not act like men, and, because of this, men believe that women are not as important as them.

Later in the 20th century, writers like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem from the USA and Germaine Greer from Australia continued Simone's work

Many people believe that Rosalind, like Lise Meitner, did not get the Nobel Prize because she was a woman.

Since those days, a lot of female scientists have won the Nobel Prize - women like Barbara McClintock, Rita Levi-Montalcini and Gertrude B

More and more women are now going into science because of female scientists like Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin and Emily Levesque.

She did many things that women were not able to do before, like being an MP

There have been many women leaders - women like Indira Gandhi in India, Golda Meir in Israel, and Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May in the United Kingdom

She did not like it

She, like the other women, had to do lots of difficult tests

Later, there were other great sportswomen, like American tennis player Billie Jean King.

This is thanks to Billie Jean and other female players like Martina Navratilova and Venus Williams.

At the same time, famous men in the film business, like Harvey Weinstein, were accused of harassing and assaulting women - and men in TV and politics have also been accused of these crimes

At the end of that day, there were movements in many languages, like Arabic, Farsi, French, Hindi and Spanish

Many famous women said "Me Too" - Hollywood actors like Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley Judd, Jennifer Lawrence and Uma Thurman have all said it

You like music and poetry

But the Governor does not like Don Carlos

I like your father because he is honest

"What a courageous man! He is a bandit but I like him," Lolita thinks.

"Don Carlos,'' says the Captain, "I like Lolita very much

Don Carlos and his family like it.

"I like Lolita, but she doesn't like me

"Girls like courageous, romantic men

I don't like friars because they are your friends, Zorro."
