Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Oh yeah. And from the stories I hear from my Mom really true to the Hollywood of that era. (Secondhand stories she heard. At 87, she is not old enough to have experienced that version of Hollywood first hand. )

Jilli! I posted in Natter, but I had my 13 year old (or is she 14 now?) former neighbor over and your book on my table spurred a cool conversation and now I need to get her a copy!
