Won't Dupree have an excuse to come back once he's written up Nate's witness statement and needs to get him to verify it? If Dupree tells Nate that he works nights at the Red Stallion, what are the chances that Nate might come in to visit him at his work? And maybe meet Jeeves as well? All kinds of plot developments are possible!
I gave him what I hoped was that hopeful innocent puppy look that said “don’t you just want ta rub my tummy” rather than that hungry, ravenous wolf look that said “why don’t you just come out a that brick house so I can eat you up little pig?” LVH: 'What I did on my Day Off'

guys, gals, fan(atic)s:

I didn't say the book is 100 chapters long.  I said the book would not END in less than 100 chapters.  It is going to go over.  By how much, I don' t know... because I just came up with the ending.

I was thinking about Nate going to the Red Stallion, he's not been in there before has he?  Now that would be interesting...I wonder if Ennis would recognise him, if he decides to clean up, that is!

Ending?    How can there be an ending?   With a cast like this there is no end to their escapades!

What tickles Dupree's fancy?

Could the greasy, covered-in-soot-and-gasoline Nate the Repairman do it for our detective?





A little Lava soap and I bet this boy cleans up just fine....he has my vote!
