His shift finishes in five minutes, but there is no one around in Howarth's quiet police station, and so he leads the woman to the first interview room and tries to suppress the image of a pint of beer in the Black Bull pub.

"I'm sorry, dear," the old woman says, and Sarah sees that the woman's cloth bag is touching her arm

I have all my knitting things in here." The old woman looks very upset and apologetic.

"No, you relax," the old woman says, and Sarah thinks the old lady has a kind smile

"Is this your stop, dear?" the old woman asks.

Sarah jumps at the sound of the voice, and in the mirror she sees the reflection of the old woman

The old woman smiles, but it is a horrible smile

And the old woman takes a long, thin knitting needle from her bag, and Sarah remembers what the kid said on the tube...

The letters PA appeared, followed by the face of a young woman.

This is Pod Adventures," said the woman, in a friendly voice.

Sala turned quickly: a young woman stood there

The woman reached for Sala's hand and slipped a small package into it

The woman had already jumped back onto the speeding walkway

"A woman gave it to me

"Did the woman say how you could contact her?"

"The woman?"

I mean the woman you saw yesterday

The mystery woman: Who was she? How did she know about Gran? She wondered when she would see her again...

Forgetting about the woman, she jumped to her feet and rushed out

you know that fruit the woman gave me?"

It was the woman who had given her the fruit.

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

I'll see you again, the woman had said: well, then, there was really nothing to do but wait.

A friendly young woman called Zee guided them to their pod area.

If only she'd seen that woman again...

It was the woman.

"Shhh!" In one quick, smooth movement, the woman pushed the note between Sala's fingers, nodded at her, and then set off rapidly toward the walkway

She rushed after the woman and caught her arm, holding it tightly.

"Let me go." The woman's voice was fierce.

Give that to your grandmother." For a second, the woman moved a little closer

Sala did as the woman had said: she turned and walked down the street

"It's front the same woman," she said

"The woman said she would find me again soon," said Sala

"We have to wait for the woman to contact us again."

See the world, smiled a beautiful woman

Then that picture slowly disappeared, and a man took the woman's place

She had been there for about thirty minutes when a woman began running on the machine next to her

Sala didn't look at her at first, but when the woman spoke, she recognized her voice at once.

"When I leave, follow me," said the woman

After another ten minutes, the woman stepped off her machine

The woman left the energy center and Sala followed, keeping a safe distance

Was this a trap? Where were they going? But the woman didn't look back; she wasn't going to wait

The woman wore a bright yellow bag on her back, so at least she was easy enough to follow, but she walked rapidly, and Sala was soon breathless.

Up ahead, the woman took the next exit, and disappeared.

She had lost sight of the woman - where had she gone? She tried to message Cham, but nothing happened

If the woman was leading her into a trap, she now had no way of contacting anyone.

But then she saw something yellow on the crowded street ahead: the woman's bag

Walking more slowly now, the woman went down a narrow passageway.

In one corner, the woman was taking the yellow hag off her back

"We turned it off," said the woman

The woman smiled

"It's that woman," Sala told him

You don't even know this woman and now she's filling your head with all these crazy stories..."

"I saw the woman who gave us the fruit and the letter

But we don't know that what this woman says is true - and nothing can happen right now anyway."

The other woman's expression was difficult to read

"I saw that woman again."

"What woman?"

"That woman

"Cham! Don't you remember the woman?" she demanded

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

Mrs Van Hopper was not a pleasant woman

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

I wish I was a woman of about thirty-six

A tall, thin woman dressed in black came towards us

The woman began to speak in a cold, lifeless voice

How did you get on with Mrs Danvers? She's a strange woman in many ways

It was a woman's room, graceful and charming

A modern young woman.'

She was a kind woman and tried hard to make me talk

I could not tell the woman that Maxim had never spoken about the ball.

'You never met her then?' the woman asked

'Yes, I suppose she was the most beautiful woman I ever saw in my life.'

My life at Manderley was turning me into a woman.

'Oh, but you are wrong,' said another woman

I wanted to be a grown-up woman.

But she was a living woman like myself

It wasn't a woman

'The woman buried in the church is not Rebecca

The other woman - the one I said was Rebecca.'

A woman opened the door.

'Yes, of course,' said the woman

'Was she tall and dark, a beautiful woman?' Colonel Julyan asked.

'The woman who called herself Mrs Danvers was very ill indeed

No one said a word and the doctor went on, 'Mrs de Winter looked a healthy woman

She was such a lovely young woman, too.' Neither of us answered him.

She thought of herself as a tough, competent, levelheaded woman who was able to deal with anything life threw at her, and she was disturbed by her continuing inability to accept Danny's death.

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

The only other person who had a right to be in the house was the cleaning woman, Vivienne Neddler

She was a sweet old woman, feisty and independent-minded but not the type to play cruel pranks.

Now that she had spent more than a year grieving for her broken marriage and for her lost son, now that Magyck! was almost behind her, she would have time to be a woman again

She was seventy, still in excellent health, a short sturdy woman with the sweet face of a Botticelli Madonna and the no-nonsense walk of an army sergeant.

They would think she was just a foolish old woman

No woman had affected him so strongly since Nancy, his wife, who had died three years ago.

If the mess had been here when Vivienne arrived, the old woman would have cleaned it up and would have left a note about what she'd found

"What a world we live in," said the woman at Anderlingen.

"You're a damn hard woman to hate."

He still persisted in regarding her as a flighty woman who wanted to take a fling at being a Vegas producer

He had adored only the showgirl, the dancer, the cute little thing that other men coveted, the pretty woman whose presence at his side had inflated his ego

We just have to find out exactly why the Evans woman wants the grave reopened

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

"My cleaning woman."

He had thought Evans might be keeping a vigil at the demolished house, while the firemen sifted through the still-smoldering debris, searching for the remains of the woman they thought might be buried there

The longer he thought about it, the less Kennebeck was able to believe that the Evans woman knew the truth about her son

If Stryker could be believed, the woman's motivations were innocent enough

If the woman actually hadn't known anything of the cover-up, then the Network could have used her ex-husband and the legal system to delay the reopening of the grave

Unfortunately, George Alexander, chief of the Nevada bureau of the Network, hadn't possessed the patience or the skill to determine the woman's true motives

He planned a suicide for Stryker, an accidental death for the woman, and a heart attack for the woman's husband

Stryker and the woman had disappeared

"We'll find Stryker and the woman before morning

Meanwhile, we're checking out Stryker's associates in his law firm, his friends, the woman's friends, anyone with whom they might have taken refuge."

"Stryker and the woman took off from McCarran International more than two hours ago

And the woman's evidently not one to hide or run away from a problem either

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

Am I the kind of woman who gets in the way?"

When the plane settled down once more, Alexander looked out the window at the milky-white, moonlit, feminine roundness of the clouds below, and he thought of the Evans woman

Still furious with his subordinates for letting Stryker and the woman escape again, he had difficulty getting to sleep

If he failed to stop Stryker and the Evans woman, his dream of assuming the director's chair in a few years would never become a reality.

Stryker and the woman were proving to be worthy opponents.

By 5:40, everything that Stryker and the woman had left in the hotel room was brought to Alexander's office.

Who were these two people? Why weren't they hiding in a dark corner somewhere? Why weren't they scared witless? Christina Evans was only an ordinary woman

"Not only did someone on Project Pandora tell this Evans woman about her son

He moved his hands over it slowly, as if he were caressing a woman

But don't hurt the woman

To Hensen, who had the submachine gun, Alexander said, "Like I told you, waste Stryker right away, but not the woman."

The Eyes of Darkness is a modest little thriller about a woman, Tina Evans, who lost her child, Danny, when he was in an accident on a trip with his scouting troop

'Protect my boy from what? Don't you understand? I'm here so that Henri won't be the son of a woman who went to the guillotine for having murdered his father! Don't you understand that I would much prefer the guillotine to the living death of this asylum?'

"I can put it in a bag for you," the woman says.

"What do you want?" the woman in the store asks.

"OK, OK," the woman says.

The woman calls the police

A young woman, Gina, is in the taxi

You know - "Who is she, the mysterious woman with the pale, beautiful face? Nobody knows."'

But I am the sort of woman you most dislike, and yet you adore me, don't you?'

Miss Cram is a healthy young woman, with pink cheeks and a loud voice

'Awful old woman,' said Griselda, when the ladies had gone

'He knows that you're a married woman

There were very few people that evening at the Wednesday church service, but afterwards, as I left, I saw a woman standing and looking up at one of our coloured-glass windows

It seemed odd for such a cultured woman to be living in a small country village.

She was a very tall woman

There was a man and a woman in the studio

The man's arms were round the woman and he was kissing her.

The quiet, controlled, woman had disappeared

'You are a married woman...'

'Oh! Do you think I haven't thought about that again and again? I'm not a bad woman

No woman could be happy with my husband

But I felt worried because I now knew that Anne Protheroe was the kind of woman who would stop at nothing when her emotions took control

She's a woman, and women act in that silly way

'Was it a man's voice or a woman's?'

'Well, this person began by saying, "You are a very unpleasant old woman who tells lies!" Me, Colonel Melchett! "And now the police are after you."'

'A man's voice or a woman's?'

'A woman's, I think

'That old woman who cleans for him wiped them off yesterday morning

Lady indeed! That woman could push a knife into you without feeling anything.'

But something in me said, 'It can't be her!' Why? And then something else replied, 'Because she's a very attractive woman

There was the sound of feet, then a key turned in the lock, and a woman opened the door.

And, of course, he is not the sort of young man who would marry a woman who has no money

There was a loud scream from a woman behind

Two men and a woman were talking at the gate of one of the houses

'People seem fairly silly about the common,' the woman said over the gate

'Quite enough,' said the woman

A woman pushed at me with her hand and rushed past me

One of the ladies, a short woman dressed in white, was screaming

The younger woman suggested that they should move on and catch a train at St Albans

Mrs Elphinstone - that was the name of the woman in white - refused to listen to his argument, and kept calling for 'George', but her sister-in-law was very quiet and sensible and agreed to my brother's suggestion

Further down the road, a woman in torn clothes was sitting on a doorstep

A tall woman answered the door

'That night I did not tell my wife about the strange face and the rude woman, but I did tell her that people were now living in the cottage.

This is what I think happened: this woman was married in America

After three years of marriage, she feels safe again, but her first husband, or some unscrupulous woman attached to him, discovers where she lives

As we approached the door, a woman suddenly appeared

An angry woman brought me her dead cat and called me a murderer

You can never escape from that woman

We took our clothes to a laundry woman

The laundry woman was very surprised to see such dirty clothes

He is that kind of man, and she that kind of woman

This is the story of a crime committed against a woman

There, behind me, stood a woman dressed completely in white.

I stopped it and asked the driver to take the young woman into London

'Thank you!' she said, then the carriage drove off, and the woman in white was gone.

The carriage stopped and the driver spoke to the policeman: 'Have you seen a woman dressed in white?'

Her expression was honest and intelligent, but it had none of the gentleness that is the greatest charm of a woman.

'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

This woman in white was probably a student there

She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and yet there seemed to be something missing - I did not know what.

Her mother is a respectable woman but there is something mysterious about her...'"

'The woman in white must be Anne Catherick!' she said.

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.

But it can't be the same man! I must be going mad! Ever since I saw the similarity between Miss Fairlie and the woman in white, I've connected them in my mind

The Lord knows, I don't want to do so! I don't want that sad woman to be connected in any way with Miss Fairlie

She explained Mr Hartright's concern that Sir Percival Glyde might be the aristocrat the woman in white had talked about

He wanted to do something to help the poor woman

Eleanor Fairlie was an irritating woman who talked too much and wore expensive clothes

I wanted to hit him, but I was only a woman, and I loved his wife so dearly!

'And it's strange to hear you talk of right and wrong; a woman who had a passion for her drawing teacher!'

'I saw a woman by the lake, but I only saw her from behind.'

The other woman walked towards me

Mrs Catherick was a hard-looking woman dressed in black

Mrs Fairlie was a foolish ugly woman who had somehow managed to marry one of the most handsome men in England.

The mystery of the woman in white had finally been solved

At sixty, I adored that woman with the volcanic passion of an eighteen-year-old

Why should he listen to a mad woman? I told him that Anne was even more confused than before; she now believed she was Lady Glyde

People thought that a woman's only job was being a wife and mother

Any woman who has the vote, and can read and write, can say thank you to Mary Wollstonecraft.

Let's have a statue of this famous woman!" they said.

She is famous because she did not stand up! When Rosa was a young woman, in many places in the USA, black people - who were called "coloureds" at that time - and white people could not sit together.

She later got a PhD - a higher degree - in law, and she became Iran's first woman judge

Rigoberta Menchu is also an important woman who fought for the rights of Indigenous people in her country

The most famous is a woman called Emmeline Pankhurst

There were also some men who fought for a woman's right to vote

She was the first woman to achieve big things in this world

She was also the first woman to get a PhD from a French university, and she was the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris.

Was it because she was a woman?

Another woman who did not get a Nobel Prize is Rosalind Franklin

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