  1. Not all have rough skin. Honeydew and casaba are smooth skinned.
  2. Muskmelons like cantaloupes and honeydews are gourds like squash, zucchini, pumpkin, and watermelon.

    Chapter 11

    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)

    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.

    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.

    No one has a lower opinion of insurance companies than I do. How appropriate for the villain to own one.

    What would be rich is if the ranch was insured by Huntington's company.

    Arson tends to slow down insurance payouts. Thankfully no one was hurt.
  13. Peddlers used to travel around on wagons selling merchandise, operating like a mobile general store. Many of these ended up with their own stores. Some even ended up with chain stores. These days all you need to be a peddler is internet access.

    How many storyboards do you have?

    An interesting thought, does Lugh possess the innate ability to go to Engris without outside help?

    Chapter 8

    Lugh has been part of the lives of many different members of Mildred's family and assumed who knows how many forms. Regardless of form, Lugh's capabilities remain constant. I don't believe Mildred would expect them to keep the house unchanged and she can change it back with a mere thought. Nothing about Lugh needs to be static.
  18. Just as well. That tome would classify as a deadly weapon.
  19. Are you tempting us?

    Heart? Isn't that the next word?
  21. If you tell someone you enjoy lattice work and they think you're talking about salad, either your pronunciation is lacking or their education.
  22. From Anglo-French latiz to Middle English latis.

    Once destructive crap is discovered it almost never just disappears. The only example I can think of which did is Greek Fire.
  24. Actually, the recent examples of sot being used haven't changed at all. They're all boozed up.

    Chapter 13

    I think it was already established Huntington had particular ire towards the ones who relieved him of his property. Once he found out who, the game was on. It reminds me of what Tony Accardo, boss of the Chicago Mob, had done to the two idiots who burgled his house while he was on a trip to Miami. It wasn't quick or pretty. It was a statement of raw power.
