When Kitti was alive -- and he remembered the pressure of her hand resting lightly on his arm -- she had been the center of his life.

Kitti had come along to justify everything.

He felt no anger towards Kitti, no sense that she had betrayed him.

The bed still showed signs of where Kitti had lain.

Gilborn wondered whether Kitti had lain in that same bed with Who??

On Blanche Jacobs, Kitti Gilborn's death had a quite different effect.

Kitti was thirty years younger than Stanley, taller than Stanley, prettier than Stanley had any right to hope for, much less expect.

Stanley had filled out the return and because, when he was finished, it was close to the lunch hour, he had politely asked Kitti to join him, never expecting her to accept.

Geneticist Kitti Ping Yung designed the dragons by manipulating the genetic code of the indigenous fire-lizards that had been acquired as pets by the colonists.

Then, six weeks after the day Kitti first came into the office, Stanley announced he and Kitti were married.

Kitti Ping, a scientist trained in genetic manipulation by the Eridani, genetically " upgraded " these into full-sized flame-breathing telepathic dragons, who were able to sear the Thread before it could fall to the ground.

Blanche knew something must be causing Stanley's new, strange behavior but she never once connected it with Kitti Walker.

At the end of the half-hour, racking his brains, thinking over and over again of Kitti, her friends, her past, he left the bedroom.

It might have been easier for her if Kitti Walker hadn't been everything that Blanche was not.

Prince Kitti, son of Vikramabahu became Vijayabahu in 1058 CE and took over the leadership of the resistance. The victorious generals of Cholas executed the captured lankan generals along with their family members, mainly in return for their disrupting traders activities from South India in the Lankan mainland by looting and killing them for their riches.

Of Kitti.

Except that Kitti wasn't there.

Kitti would lie in it no more.

Kitti could have married a score of men.

Its common name refers to its discoverer, Thai zoologist Kitti Thonglongya.

Kitti Ping designed the dragons to gradually increase in size with each generation until they reached pre-programmed final dimensions.

In All the Weyrs of Pern, AIVAS, an artificial intelligence still in operation after all this time, notes that all of the primary Benden dragons, Ramoth, Mnementh and Canth, are notably larger than Kitti Ping's specified end-size of the dragon species.

In creating dragons, Kitti Ping intensified the creatures ' telepathy, greatly increased their intelligence, and gave them a strong instinctive drive to Impress to a human.

It is speculated that the undersized wings were intentionally created in the dragons by Kitti Ping to reduce the surface area of a dragon that is exposed to possible Thread injury, and that the telekinetic abilities were intended to make up for the loss of wingsail.

However, Dragonsdawn suggests that Kitti Ping-possibly motivated by old-fashioned ideas about gender roles-deliberately engineered greens to be infertile and gold dragons to be incapable of producing flame in order to protect the gold dragons, the only reproductively fertile females, from the dangers of Thread fighting.

In vain his mind groped to reassemble the bones of the relationships he had sought so desperately, but they would not come to life.

Her hat had come off and fallen behind her shoulders, held by the string, and he could see her face more clearly than he had at any time before.

But her prettiness was what he had noticed first, and all the other things had come afterward: cruelty, meanness, self-will.

Dill had come up also.

She seemed to have come such a long distance -- too far for her destination which had wilfully been swallowed up in the greedy gloom of the trees.

If the bluff failed and they ran into trouble, Brannon had told the others, they would withdraw -- and he would come after his son another time.

He'd mounted up immediately and raced with a revolver ready toward the spot from which he'd estimated the shot had come.

Leaving the card room, they moved back through the Palace the way they had come.

When the sea was visible ahead of them, the relief was as great as if the sun had come out.

I had come to New Orleans two years earlier after graduating college, partly because I loved the city and partly because there was quite a noted art colony there.

She had arrived this morning and come straight to the English Gardens.

'' For the last half hour Mary Jane had criss-crossed half the length of the Gardens and, at last, come upon her knight.

His brown face looked gray from dirt streaks where his hand had come off the dusty pavement and rubbed across it.

He was disturbed by what had happened on the dive and by what he remembered of a conversation he had had the night before with the German, who had come out of the head while he was fixing himself a drink in the galley.

He had no doubt the marine was the lead scout of a column, and while his shot had probably bred indecision, they would soon come hunting.

He left the house and almost certain death without even increasing his pace and wondered by what remarkable stroke of Providence he had been allowed to come out alive.

Here, in the old days -- when they had come to see the moon or displays of fireworks -- sat the king and his court while priests, soldiers, and other members of the party lounged in the smaller alcoves between.

`` I have just come from viewing a man who had made the fortune of his country, but now is working all night in order to support his family '', he reflected.

By the death of his father in 1888 he had come into possession of the family estate and had re-assumed its traditions.
