> Well, circumstances are continuing to *** up my work, but I can jyust about fit the odd reply in...

It's fate's way of saying that you need to visit up north for the weekend.

> > Go straight to Part Two: On Traitors
> I liked this, especially the bit about the source of Krige's new value. My worry is that - given the way things are going in the background - she won't last long enough to start her atonement.

CSFB! sent me an excellent tie-in that assumes her survival, but I'm not making any guarantees. Sally pointed out about my "Last Days of Atlantis" novel that the chapter entitled "the Happy Ending" took place before the last dozen chapters.

> > Go straight to Part Three: On the Parting of Beloved Tent Sisters

> Nice character piece.

It became evident on a reread that I really needed to give these characters their reflective moment.

> > Go straight to Part Four: On Kerry and Mircandalee
> It's strange where Kerry gets the prods about her relationship with Vish. As I recall, the last one was from the Hooded Hood. And wasn't nearly as nice.

Mircandalee is a good performer, and she knows how to show the audience things about themselves.
