'Three Pines is made up of good people, but one of us is festering.'

Jamaica Talk - Three Hundred Years of the English Language in Jamaica
First published in 1961, Jamaica Talk is a thorough study of the English spoken in Jamaica and, although intended for the general educated reader rather than the linguistic specialist, has a foundation of sound scholarship, which makes it an authoritative classic. The late Professor Cassidy was born and reared in Jamaica and collected most of the material for his book when he was attached to the University College of the West Indies as Fulbright research fellow. There are chapters on the composition of "Jamaica talk", on pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.
Harriet is impressed to learn that the girl she has befriended, now called Annie Smith, is the person who not only created three names--Rosarita Sauvage, Yolanda Montezuma, and Zoe Carpaccio--but also three distinct personalities to match. This girl has potential. Being a spy has always been rather solitary, so Harriet is glad to have a new friend and spy partner.
