deborah, are you using the long, intricate sentences on purpose? It makes Amanda sound much older than I'm possibly thinking she is.
Also, Carolan--is there an Irish connection? I'm thinking of the old harpist.
heh. try and stop me.
I'm having printer issues. Not enough that the damned thing won't function properly for more than ten pages at a time; it's also locking up the computer and forcing me to bail.

I knew, instinctively, that he'd taken them so as not to hide.
Should this be "...taken them OFF so as not to hide"?
Deb, I just love this character. She fascinates me.
Yes, and young!Giles. Good stuff.
Connie, I'm using the long intricate sentences because that's the way I write. This isn't being told by an eleven-year-old; she's remembering, from nearly forty years later. There's that line about forcing her memories down byways to that time at the Carolan. I wouldn't even attempt to write it as a kid. I would totally stink the place up if I tried it, because I have no clue how children that age think. This is purely her memoir.
Irish connection, yup. We will be hearing a bit about Rupert's late mother Moira, who owned the bookshop when she and Richard were married. And yes indeed, the Carolan in question is Turlough O'Carolan. No idea why I wanted to name it that, but I did, so I did.
Steph, caught and added. Yuppers.
(wow. Did the board just go down completely for anyone else?)
Yes. It seems to be narcoleptic today.
I got it, Plei. And I like it.
