Last Lines

[Malcopool]

In which novel or short story are these the last lines?
1. "The time" pretty mother said, "is 6.47 and 20 seconds precisely".
2. This will be erected in the centre of Sana'a if planning permission can be obtained.
3. "Do as you're told".
4.All I knew was that now, as never before, I should find it easy to leave.

4 Anita Brookner, Undue Influence

(Google books is a wonderful thing.)
