  1. They might consider some geese. They make excellent guard dogs. Anyone or anything coming around and they make an unholy racket.
  2. Successful merchants probably don't gamble. Their gambling lies in commerce and it satisfies the desire for risk more than enough.
  3. They also still have an empty bunkhouse. There's always the chance the pair they helped on the road might show up. Even with four helping, there will be a pile of work to do.
  4. They will be nearly self sufficient right off. So far they only need some staples like the flour, some bacon, and spices. They'll need some oats for the horses, but little else. As I am seeing it now, this will be a paying concern within the first year.
  5. They're ready for some stock. Maybe Grayson can spare a couple of turkeys and Robbie some rabbits for a start.
  6. You're tricky, Gary. I was expecting some beehives, but we got plenty of honey, both real and talk. They have orchards for fruit and nuts. This place is bountiful. You hiding a gold mine somewhere too??

    Chapter 12

    "You're less annoying than the other weirdos."
  8. Tweek and Hollis as daddies was so cute. And the most unlikely romantic Byc making a very Bykish ring for Liam.
  9. Eating lobster or crab requires cracking their carapaces.
  10. I'm thinking they are lucky it wasn't Wrexhan. A wealthy lord like him would be more likely to have footman with him on the coach for protection.
  11. It's not said, but presumably they had kerchiefs over their faces. Jonsa spoke Edward's name, not good form in a robbery. While they scored, it was a hit or miss operation. No one was watching the driver. If he'd had a brace of pistols, their career would have been ended. Edward doesn't have the stones for this yet.
  12. They will be totally dependent on Jared. They are truly babes in the wilderness. They've been fed, clothed, and cared for their entire lives. They left with only the clothes on their backs. The transition to the outside will be severe with no skills.
  13. Roughly 143,000 pounds in todays money.

    Epilogue

    You just had to remind me.
  15. The violence was sudden and absolute, alien to the sheltered life of the bunker. They had been safe so long they were unready. Now the someday will never come, at least not for the others. Sable seems to be what The Order is seeking and he will be hard to hide. Then we have a very horny Cade and Jared knows. Hard to get your jollies while protecting a seven year old.

    Chapter 11

  17. Nothing is more frightening than the loss of reason.
  18. "I don't know how to be good." "Nobody does."
  19. Desperate men battling hunger and addiction have just been fueled by injustice. Peers of the realm of this time were truly above the law. Wrexham is about to find another more perfect justice.
  20. A beginning with two broken rogues. Alone it's hard for them to stand, together they will flow.
  21. He deserves it. It's a terrible pillow.

    Chapter 10

    Stephen King beat it for brevity with "Rinse" in Misery.
  23. Never have actually seen any that I'm aware of. But oh my, those Mormon boys...
  24. Another reason to hate social media - as a coining platform.
