When I ran into the term "barrow job", the reference that came to mind, was a barrow, as in a hand cart ("Desmond has a barrow in the market place") . A barrow job would then be a job done by an itinerant worker, dragging his tools around in his work truck. I have no idea if this is correct, but given the probable age of the term , I think this is a reasonable guess.

1054 S Clinton Ave, Rochester, NY 14620, USA I have wondered the same thing for a few chapters.

Nicely done!

Re Matt's father. If he couldn't keep it in his pants as a teen, why would he be able to now?

Daniel's illness saddens me, but 1992.

Call me cynical, but "Yes, Sir" from two four-year-olds in combination with the foster father's attitudes raises a big red flag. What went on in the foster home?

My idea about what is up is rather darker. Ludo and Damian were not in the house overnight where she expected them to be. I can imagine she set them up to be abducted or killed. Did she try to sell them?

This is a creepy start to the story,

About the popularity of Nazi ideology: In Gaudy Night by Dorothy Sayers, written in the 1930's, she has a character who is a porter in a women's college of Oxford University. He does not like women having power and says "what we need is an 'Itler". There were traditionalists of all types in sympathy with parts of the Nazi cause.

I love the fact that the story is getting into the existential questions dealing with the old ones.

About Jupiter/ Jove: This confusion is a result of Latin grammar. 'Jupiter' is the form used as the subject of a sentence. In all the other places in a Latin sentence, the name is 'Jov-' plus a case ending for the exact role in a sentence. Sorry for the pedantry -- I am a retired academic, and explaining Latin cases to English speakers gets tedious.

I find this statement intriguing, especially since, in an earlier chapter in the saga, George stated that as a prince his odds of a success are only 50%. Hmmmmm.

Those $5000 payments worry me. Why so much, and what were they for?

Dare I hope that Lisa's larger office would be that formerly occupied by one Joshua Thomas?

Yikes! and This is psychotic behavior.
