drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Nightcaps, such as the one Scrooge wore, are floppy with a tassel on the peak. -

One of Dunhill's stronger pipe tobacco blends was Nightcap. Now made by Peterson, frisky puffing is not recommended. -
Chapter 35 - The Burn Throne
drpaladin commented on Adam Andrews Johnson's story chapter in Chapter 35 - The Burn Throne
I knew Boullia Bay was the next stop. -
Sure they could. They hauled treasure out loaded in packs. Modern sat phones are small. Anyone seeing it would assume it was a wildlife tracker.

Surely with their business being involved in wildlife areas they would have more sophisticated gear than walkie talkies.

As thorough and well prepared as Gramps and Pops tend to be, it would be expected they would have some means of emergency comm gear. And then there is the campground.

I'd think the first logical step after seeing these criminals would be to contact the police. Why do I see a skinwalker rescue coming?

By this line Nathan and Brohm qualify, they aren't just anyone.

Chapter 34 - Nunta

There's nothing like a chat with a brainwashed cultist in the afternoon. -
Which is why he was chosen to evaluate.
-
So they're very stingy traders.
-
Why are they concerned about costs? They can go back and get more of the treasure any time they want.

The problem with this idea is M explained if the original host completely takes over, the body dies.

Who knew being too good at their work would pose a problem?
-
"Jesus." "Who is that guy anyway? Julie brought him up earlier." It was a hilarious example of how little M still knows. Connor thinks M's idea of having his baby is impossible, but M himself is impossible and Mother told M he could have one if he wanted. And Marcus? He's simply totally cool.

Prattle is a version most of us are more familiar with.

It would appear the agent is going to do whatever he wants. Xonnor got a bigger info dump than he might have wanted.

Regardless of how he got the letter, burning or ignoring it wouldn't solve the problem. Chalmers could write more letters or tell people about it. It was handled in the most effective way short of killing him. The Admiralty's way was to cover these things up. Your read on St. Vincent is totally wrong.

Connor is a mess. Between his headaches, nightmares, paranoia, and abandonment issues, there's only room for his anger. M is right though, he's only safe with M.

Indeed. I guess, in the longer term, it will be not that bad for Calvert. George himself has had positions at the court and other positions or times away from a ship and it did not harm him. Still not understand St. Vincents action though. He could have destroyed the letter himself, but opted ‘to out’ Calvert to the king. Could he, if it had already passed through official channels? The horse was already out of the barn.

I spied some knaves the other day hanging out with varlets.
-
In its original usage, a knave was a boy or male servant.
-
I didn't expect the Chalmers letter to be dealt with so quickly and with the finality of a grave for Chalmers' career. Being made equerry is a blessing and double curse for Calvert; reputation saved, but separated from the sea and Granger. Will this opera singer become George's new beard?

Sort of what happens when you try to run too much power through anything.
-
I'd say at this point neither want to leave. I wonder how much power one coupling would make?
