That he is! We had the fortune of visiting his home as well -- I could imagine it a lovely place to live, if it were not for innocents staked on nails throughout the town!!!!

[ but that's neither here nor there... ]

I would not ask him about it, though; it is something of a sore point.

[ ... because of the innocents staked on nails, probably... anyway. she's peeking around a rack to make sure he's still there, then moving to another with flashes of color in her arms. a lot of colors. ]

His way of speaking gives it away more than anything, does it not?
