  1. In his final years, actor John Barrymore lived as a guest in Errol Flynn's house. He habitually peed out the closest window, so much so all the window sills had to be revarnished.
  2. With the horse, Brewster left another beautiful gift to bridge both time and death between him and Augustus. They have finally consummated their bond properly as they have wanted to for so long.
  3. And at the moment, very handy.
  4. Actually, the ones I found were quite nice.

    Chapter 1

    The foolish desire of Rade to sacrifice himself to save a dead city state was overruled by his last Highguard. Now Rade and his two young protectors will have to thread what has become an eye of a needle.

    Prologue

    Shem has arrived at this capital city at the brink of its fall. The hollowing out has begun at the center. Tair should be called Despair. This is a place to flee before the blood starts flowing like water. Shem seems to be the catalyst for the last remnant of power to leave while no one is looking. He is a most unlikely savior or hero, and his sheer veneer of ordinary is a shield of invisiblity.
  7. I had to search for them, but there are hotels using g sojourn in the name.
  8. It's too darn cold out in the privy to be shivering the timbers. At least this last comedy has pulled Jonax out of his black ass.

    What We Aim At

    The lesson with the rifle revealed part of Jared's past. Cade knows now Jared is like him and Jared can see Cade's own interest in him. Cade can also see Jared exhibiting the same protectiveness he has toward Sable. They have already formed a family unit. Now they must tread the uncertain ground of the first outside settlement Cade an d Sable have seen. I think Jared should have schooled them more on what to expect and what not to share.
  10. And I didn't actually know any of them. I never said there weren't any.
  11. I've searched my memory and I've never actually known a gangster named Lou. Though I concede there are some.
  12. I am sending yoo an AI yardstick to vigorously rap virtual knuckles.
  13. The USS Zodiac has become a comic reality series to the Kareshi, much to T'Virith's annoyance. Karen has been busy fabricating a narrative. Now Faniel has delivered the counter and Karen can't get to them in the safety of Kareshi space.
  14. Should have nicked the Bishop's purse too. You know it was full. Old Paddy is a clever man and good he was there.
  15. It's purely tactical to keep the shorts up.
  16. No, I just see interesting patterns and connections in words and sounds.
  17. Lawrence's uncle is a wise man. "Because it’s our ignorance that gets us out of the dark sometimes." It's a version of we learn more from our failures than our successes. Lawrence made progress on his translation. He is probably correct Lucas was intending to share the diary since it's not in his native tongue. Even the key was in English. His trip to see Ali inadvertently uncovered Norris and Viv are sharing more than a room.

    True to Form

    Well it us a pain to wash off.
  19. No hearing aid. I don't know of one which tempers imagination.
  20. I do keep hearing redamNancy instead, which might be mutual damnation.
  21. Romance novels thrive on redamancy.
  22. I suppose the loss of Melvin Hollis was a necessary evil. A starship can only have one Melvin at a time.
  23. The abandoned responsibilities Edward left behind are coming in like the tide. The new man Jonas has forged is taking up the challenge with his own soft hands. They've traded one struggle for another.
  24. I doubt they have the knowledge or time to cure the hides, much less make shoes. They have left a trail and don't know if they are being pursued.
