  1. Jimmy Durante, aka The Great Schnozzola.
  2. One of the most famous nasute characters is Cyrano de Bergerac from the same titled play by Edmond Rostand.
  3. From the Latin nasutus, having a large nose.
  4. Pete Townshend got it right when he penned, "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."
  5. It's like Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya.
  6. I'll try to bring it up now and then to beat the odds.

    Chapter 23 S2

    This isn't new. The law has always been this way. At least the vagrancy laws no longer apply. We don't have more homeless than in the past relative to the population. There may be fewer places for them to be invisible. Places with free stuff attract more to those areas and make them more visible along with more social media and 24/7 news. To put it in perspective, we have about one tenth the number of homeless as we had during the Great Depression. I don't know how to solve it, but nothing being done now is either.
  8. I see a large flaw in Z'Matri's plan. While this might make Shifts helpless inside the circle, I haven't seen it can stop those outside from using their powers into the circle. I somehow doubt it would or does nullify cosmic power, it's only blocking the mantis glands from accessing it.
  9. From the Latin nidificatus.

    IMO that is pretty cheap. The ones here from $2k to $6k and next to zero amenities at the lower price.

    Chapter 23 S2

    Transitioning older folks from a lifetime nome can be a painful experience. Thankfully Mac's grandparents are practical and realize this is necessary.
  12. The key to waking everyone must lie in the imagination place. For now there is only a small cadre to protect the helpless from the Demifae.
  13. Jalouse shouldn't be confused with jalousie, which are windows comprised of parallel slats.
  14. In Scottish usage, it means to suspect or surmise.
  15. From French jalousere, to envy.
  16. Now we know why Djaruki collapsed. Nearly all the Shifts are helpless.
  17. If the mob had been confronted in the street, innocent lives would have been saved.
  18. This is a marvelous old word. I vow to begin using it.
  19. A welcome interlude for Olona as she recovers from her wound. Dozi certainly disappeared fast.
  20. Pan is trying to get Simon to think outside the box of constructed reality and make the impossible happen by his will and magic. If he'd been taught more magic, this lesson might be even harder.
  21. Thank you. This was speedy.
  22. I've been noticing lately my chapter comments aren't there after posting. I have to refresh the page to see them. This is with Chrome on Android.
  23. Jabble is an imitative word formation. It first appeared in 1760 in the writings of George Washington.
  24. Merriam Webster cites 1693, but they don't say the source.
  25. From the Latin gallīnāceeus, meaning of domestic fowl.
