„The misfortune disturbed him to excess; he immediately sent for Mir Jafir; and as soon as he entered the tent, flung his turban on the ground, saying "Jafir, that turban you must defend". "The other bowed, and with his hands on his breast, promised his utmost services; and returning to his troops and associates, immediately dispatched a letter to Colonel Clive, informing him what had passed, and advising him either to push forward in the instant, or at all events, to attack the Nabob's camp at three the next morning".

Amazon.com: Books: The Bride Wore Blue (The Brides of Bath) (#)

„The novel then fast forwards to 1813, where Felicity is now a young widow and living in Bath with her brother, George, and younger sister, Glee, and they are almost penniless. And that's when Thomas Moreland, a very rich and newly returned Indian nabob approaches Felicity with a business proposition. He will settle all the Pembrooke debts as well as set up an annuity for both Felicity and Glee, if Felicity agrees to introduce Thomas and his sister, Dianna, to Bath society. Felicity is torn: she'd like nothing better than to throw Thomas's money back at his face, but she cannot deny that she and her siblings need the money desperately, esp if she wishes to launch Glee into Bath society in style.“

Amazon.com: Books: The World's Finest Mystery and Crime Stories: Third Annual Collection: Vol. #3 (#)

„In the former category, there is Ed McBain with "Activity on the Flood Plain" which, on the surface, doesn't appear to belong in this collection at all. What begins as a story of a beleaguered artist dealing with a nattering nabob on a planning and zoning board takes a left turn near the conclusion. And, yeah, it definitely belongs in this volume. Jeffrey Deaver is included as well, with "Beautiful." This marks the first time I have ever been able to guess the conclusion of a Deaver work and it did not diminish my enjoyment of the story, which concerns a woman who finds an effective, if drastic way, of dealing with a stalker.“

BBC - h2g2 - Johnnie Ray (#)

„He was a white man singing with a black man's voice, noted for his emotional performances in which he showed anguish, despair and often sobbed. This earned him the nicknames of'Prince of Wails' and'Nabob of Sob'. His most famous song from 1951, which he used as his signature tune, was Cry - a multi-million seller. He was notoriously hated by Frank Sinatra - possibly because Tony Bennett called him'the father of rock'n'roll' - and his vocal abilities were widely acknowledged and admired.His overtly sexual performances shocked parents and thrilled teenagers in the US.“

Addendum: The Decaffeination Process (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„It is provided to clarify several issues which were left murky in the original article. More on Swiss Water Process The original article may leave the impression that Swiss Water is a process generally available from many decaffeinator sources when in fact it is the patented and branded product of Kraft, manufactured in their Nabob plant in Vancouver, BC. No other decaffeinated product is made the same way, nor is any other product Swiss Water only theirs. Water is a Chemical Water is a chemical, H2O.“

„the Parisians do not look at things so closely. For them, every rich foreigner is a nabob, no matter whence he comes. Furthermore, this nabob has all the physical qualities for the part--a copper- coloured skin, eyes like burning coals, and, what is more, gigantic wealth, of which he makes, I do not fear to say it, the most noble and the most intelligent use.--This text refers to the“

Doll belongs to an upper middle class community of British music enthusiasts that perform an immensely complex biblical children's opera every year. Since her childhood Doll has been in these shows but now, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she is to old to perform.“
