Right heah!!!
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Funny, Greg was asking me if I was ready to go to bed, almost had me worn down and I squeeled, he asked why, I said, DEB! Sending! More Story!
He said, "Oh, well, I know I can't compete with Deb," and gave a deep sigh. He was joking, mostly. He's as excited for you, Deb, as I am.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
suhNERK.
Deena, received, some good calls and a few explanations.
Astarte, will send shortly. Lemme finish up the email to Deena and fix the typos and things.
Deena! Go to BED!

Stupid Netscape 7.1. Buggy as hell.

Deena, very quickly:
1. Good catches on spellings, and also on the phrasing in the 1620 journal entry, and good questions all around.
2. No reason for Penny or anyone in the room to assume Andrew was the heir; Char is a member of the family, they're not, and those two events are happening simultaneously.
3. Noble English houses aren't subject to primogeniture; females can inherit. But in this case, the question - the distaff side of the family - no. They were branches of the same family, but the Leights had gone CofE to keep Henry VIII off their backs.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Deb, I couldn't wait for tomorrow, so you have a quick and dirty--but thorough, I think--email now.

Deena, also, on Hibbert's reaction to Jane resembling the Mytens painting? That stays as is - there's a subtle little thing in there - the emphasis on how she's sitting there, bathed in sunlight, everything tranquil. He's only seen the painting twice in his life, and it wouldn't come to mind unless something - in this case, the mix of her stillness and his own mention of the painting -brought it to mid.
