"What did he do murder the driver so he could drive the coach?" asked Sir Thomas. "I bailed up the Terror and took your sister's stuff back as she was under my care!" said Sir Justin. "New to this are you lad!" said one of them. "Terry I think you killed him!" said one of the others he was the black-clad highwayman named the Ghost for his sudden appearances and disappearances. "I just found her here, I was on my way to see you." "I have never seen anything so beautiful! I could forget everything and live in this moment forever" 
  “Justin, what was that about? What light on yonder window breaks-! Your eyes are like 2 twinkling silver stars!” shouted the Ghost.

He's been sending her love letter from what I've found out from being his go-between he uses the nom de plume of Silver Starr. She's fallen in love with her admirer now if I'm not mistaken she thinks you are him! This won't make Grimshaw happy at all!” the Ghost said.

  A young girl, renamed Amerika in honour of the US role in the liberation of Kuwait, finds her name has become a barometer of her country's growing hostility towards the West. A self-conscious Palestinian teenager is drawn into a botched suicide bombing by two belligerent classmates. A middle-aged man dying from cancer looks back on his extramarital affairs and the abiding forgiveness of his wife. A Kuwaiti woman returns to her family after being held captive in Iraq for a decade.
  
  The headlines tell of war, unrest and religious clashes. But if you look beyond them you will see life in the Middle East as it is really lived – adolescent love, the fragility of marriage, pain of the most quotidian kind. Mai Al-Nakib's luminous stories unveil the lives of ordinary people – and the power of objects to hold extraordinary memories.
