I get what you're stepping in. I think I missed it at first because 1) that's been the topic of discussion at work the last few days, for reference I work in the service industry and we just hired a lawyers kid and a preachers kid for summer help. And 2) working poor in the service industry I've dealt with that realization from richer people a few times, so it kinda blew over my head. Total side note, never been to Uganda yet, but that's on my list of places to visit. From what I've learned about it the social structure is very interesting over there. That and I've read that there are a lot of dangerous animals that would be fun to pet and deal with ....... as long as you don't have anything as vicious as a koala over there. Those things scare me 😭😭

I think a lot of ponderment around class structure, especially from anyone from western society, comes from the fact that we are trained to pretend class doesn't exist. It's just you don't see it unless you're from the bottom/outside. Growing up, even though the public education system said i could be anything, the councilors always told me I was from bad stock and needed to just ride my years out until I was 18 and that I would never be anything but a garbage man, a cook, or a janitor. College was beyond my means, so why should I try? Being poor and/or homeless in america is no different than being in the poorest class or undesirable class in India. You line up the definitions, and they are still the same, just unnamed in "civilized" society homeless then poor then tradesmen then medical and clergy then lawyers and then finally politicians. Class system is inescapable, but since we're taught to pretend it's not there and not real. So when we come across it in stories, it pulls at us. We see it daily, so it resonates with no explanation.

Well that was an interesting chess move i wasn't expecting.

You're so evil, lol. I got notified there was a new comment, and I thought I had missed a chapter 😭😭😭 i will admit i agree with your sentiment, but ya can't hurry a good stew. *crosses fingers for hopefully not waiting much longer for the next addicting chapter*

I'm gonna have to go back and reread, but I'm pretty sure the two people they were trying to contact were the ones that the Marshall had arrested on false charges. Hence why their son was like ...uhm, you really don't want to see him, but I can't stop you from being dense. I am happy that the drier chapters to read weren't wasted. It's very refreshing to see the parts that are "dry as all f**k, but needed for future context" being well placed and very artfully condensed for easy digestion. I have to admit I'm loving the slow torturing build to the climax from all the moving pieces coming together. The anticipation from guessing which piece is being looked at in the next chapter is definitely on par, if not better than the jumping around in "Lord of the Rings" or "Dune"

I guess I can forgive you, as long as you can quote Mr. Bean 😝😝😝😝 that or Are You Being Served 😁😁😁

Must be, I know dang well Shirly ain't me 😝😝

You sure? You're not accidently looking in the trick mirror I forgot there last Halloween again are you? 😝😝

Well shi*monkeys, I'm screwed 😭🤷‍♂️🫣

Fine, but I get the basement

I'm staying out of that one, I've already been threatened to be turned into the bad guy in a story once 😱😱😱😱 good luck 😝😝😝

Don't encourage them both, that's almost as bad as giving you a sneaker from the mailman. 😭😭

It better be good, or you're preemptively getting the dog house 😱😝😝

See, this is what happens when I leave you and @weinerdog with out adult supervision. Ankles get bit, doghouses get wrecked, left shoes disappear, and right socks vanish. What are we going to do with you two?

I'm keeping my mouth shut on that one.

Evil, cruel, vile, unfair, despicable, and vicious artist. Play my heart strings and answer questions while adding 300 thousand kajillion unanswered questions. 😭😭😭 you're lucky i adore you and that you're one of my top 5 faves ...... well that and I'm out of doghouses, I still haven't remodeled from the disaster the last time I threw you in there. But all serious, I loved the passage through. Even if this doesn't become another great brain child, it's one of the most beautiful endings for a character I've ever read. Of course now I have Ulgra in me head going "IT'S THE EEEND OF THE WORLD .... or the beginning. Hmphh. End, begin, end, begin, all the same ...."

Either you are way to young, or your parents failed you 😭😭😭😭 how can you not know Boris and Natasha *cries and weeps into the canyon of generation gaps* 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Such an evil vile artist 😭😭😭😭 making us poor readers suffer and wait 😭😭😭😭 At least we know where you learned how to twist out indepth characters from with that kind of reading influence. All serious though, your talent is amazing. Truly an artist of the written word.

I think Plink will, if she doesn't go as far as to take him to him. As far as i can tell she's been completely honest in all her dealings, I couldn't see her going back on her word no matter how little or small.

I'm wondering who Plink is working for. That and when Zdain is gonna end up running into Ade. I'm gonna laugh my ass off if Plink is actually working for the Blue Moon. With her behavior now, and her introduction it would be rather odd if she was working for any of the organizations or groups already brought up. That and the fact that she seems to have intentionally let herself get caught. The fact I can't solve the enigma around her is driving me bonkers. It's like when R.A. Salvatore leisurely took like 20 books to finally give you enough to figure out Jarlaxle.

I'll use that one next time, lol

Dangnabbit, now I'm hungry. Get in the dog house, you're grounded mister. How dare you make me smile and chuckle.

I think you forgot how lazy @weinerdog is. I still can't get him to pick up the slippers he chews or bring in the paper.

Oh my stars, definitely up to par. I refused to admit you got me emotional again. You're definitely grounded again though, making me laugh woke my husband up. Get to your dog house. 😝😝😝

I wanna be in a museum. I think it could be fun.
