    Quite delightful! I recognized only two -"Get one's ashes hauled" and "Put the devil into hell". I came across the latter as a teenager, and could have sworn recalling it from The Canterbury Tales. A little research indicates that it came from The Decameron, a bit earlier than the article suggests. I may not have understood the significance of the source in a literary sense, but I certainly was educated by its content. My favorite, however, is "Play at couch quail".

    Thank you, @Cia. I think I have my anthology material under control. I have a second issue upon which I will PM you.

    Chapter 3

    Backwoods Boy commented on Geron Kees's story chapter in Chapter 3

    Well, this sent me off on a quick study of the history of Tierra del Fuego. The time period during which Tasker lived involved decimation of the native population and the isolation of the rest on a very specific island. Familiar-sounding history, perhaps? Now I'll wait for Charlie to do the same research... perhaps... maybe.

    I find this instruction confusing: Make sure the story is unpublished by clicking BOTH the publish sliders, one for the chapter and one for the story itself. There were no sliders during the creation of the "story". The only slider I can find afterwards says "Publish Now", which of course I didn't touch. There is also a button that says "Publish", which I also didn't touch. So, where is the slider we're supposed to click? I'm somewhat paranoid, because my last "story" seemed to publish spontaneously.

    He may have more useful information to share, methinks

    Thanks. I'd missed that. Makes it more likely he'll show up again later

    LOL! There's something else he "didn't" do, but I can't remember right now what it was. 🤔

    How you manage to remember all of these historical details never fails to astound me

    Even though he didn't have a name immediately, I hope we haven't seen the last of the informative pizza cook. He sounds like a helpful sort of guy.
