  1. At this point, Reid has already seen Jubal is scrupulously honest even to his detriment. He may ask about the rope scar on his neck when he knows Jubal better, but he's not concerned over it.
  2. His personal connection to God seems unaffected by his contempt for it's fervent practitioners.
  3. I notice the doctor didn't bother telling Jubal how to take a pulse. Maybe he's sussed the situation and knows Jubal won't have issues holding hands with Lucas.

    Have you ever seen those teeth up close and personal?
  5. It would seem Reid knows exactly how Jubal feels about Lucas and has no problem with it. May Jubal's prayers come true.
  6. Mastiffs are an old breed, dating back 2,000 years. They were once used in battle and gladitorial contests. Despite their size and power, the modern mastiff is gentle, calm, and peaceful. The last-recorded heaviest dog in the world was an English mastiff named Aicama Zorba of La Susa, weighing 343 pounds and standing 37 inches at the shoulder.

    Chapter 11

    We don't know if Martina is playing fair. She could easily be the prime suspect.
  8. All the abuse Fran has endured d since he was a boy has tempered his will into a fine, folded steel. He might be strong, but he can't find it in himself to sit by and watch his Edward be executed by order of a writ forged by his own hand I believe Lothar's final task will be to spirit Edward away right from the deepest dungeon of the castle. When Lothar says something will not be easy, it sends a shiver up the spine. It will be a long and treacherous journey from Dragonspur to the safety of the foreign land where Hotspur Harry spirited away Edward's possible future king. Fran may be able to save his Edward, but the comfort of his love is lost to him forever.
  9. Could be. Sometimes they sound like a herd of elephants stomping around.
  10. The last time I had problems squirrels had savaged the lines.
  11. Don't tease us, Gary.
  12. We aren't far from the next chapter.
  13. About forty years ago I was in a convenience store chatting with the manager. This guy came in who had a nearby drug store and joined our conversation. While we were talking, this little old lady comes in. While waiting to be checked out, she was listening to us chat. She looks at the druggist and asks, "What do you do?" Without missing a beat and no clarification he said, "I sell drugs." What amazed me was she just nodded her head and left.
  14. But I wasn't there. It must have been another Bond villain.
  15. Why are they laughing?

    Chapter 11

    I took it as he was in flight mode and just wanted to get away. He can't go to them and settle them down or let them know he won't be around. It's a little like being on a phone call and the other person can't hear you. What can you do but hang up?
  17. Not all have rough skin. Honeydew and casaba are smooth skinned.
  18. Muskmelons like cantaloupes and honeydews are gourds like squash, zucchini, pumpkin, and watermelon.

    Being banned from the refuge isn't really fair and Martina acting like he wasn’t supposed to be there doesn't make sense. How would he know he wasn't supposed to be there? He should have heard what Rory had to say. She seemed troubled by something. Now we find Chase leaving wasn't exactly as it appeared.

    Nah, she wouldn't do that... (snigger)

    Chapter 14

    It's not really the way it's done here, but we have peculiar ways. When police here go to the academy, the instructors pause the class saying what they're teaching applies to everyone except them because 'they have different laws there.'

    Hopefully we won't have to endure a Frank Lloyd Wright clone house. All of his works are known. It would be a bit hard to explain to the parents.

    Chapter 14

    In some jurisdictions you'll find initial police investigations into arson rather perfunctory. Fire marshals have the training to investigate these, not the police.

    One positive of this fire is the destruction of the cage Austin and Ashton were kept in. It's now scrap.
