at the drop of a hand in his lap, I'll bet!
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

Hot off the presses for my lunchtime pleasure! 




SPOILERS


Mel used a good choice of words - it was nice to hear a mature, adult and straightforward conversation.  They both handled that nicely.

“It isn’t easy. He has a huge ego, and he’s never wrong you know.”

LOL!  True, that.  But, of course, she didn't add: "...and he's totally hot and I have (had?) a huge crush on him!"   :laugh:

Yay! again for the "star" rookie - it's true that Ellery isn't always right, but he spotted a winner in Dupree from the very start. 

I'm glad Mel has Wes for a friend. 

Thanks, Louise
Marie

And another story finished. Thanks Louise. I've really enjoyed this one.

So glad Jeremy found his mate...

I knew it was coming, but you still took me by surprise!  :)

What a perfect ending.  Love relaxed and funny Jeremy (“Honey I’m home!”), and it's nice to see Nick so enthused and serious about his studies.  Journalism seems a good fit for him.  I liked their give and take about Jeremy's work and Nick's studies, reflected nicely on their comfort level and mutual respect.  And Ellery has yet another nickname! Chief Who Can Do No Paperwork  LOL!  And, yes, I'm with Fabienne - it's obvious Jeremy found his mate and I'm happy for both of them. 

A terrific story, Louise.  Enjoyed every word.

Thanks,
Marie

Ode to Chesterfield

We started with two mysteries
Where is Lance and who is Jeeves?
And hour by hour more mysteries were added
(at least Jeeves's spanking horse was padded!)
Jeremy's mind is in a whirl
Could it be Jeeves is really an Earl?
He needs to talk to Mr. Spanky
The paso finos have made him cranky
Cold weather is playing havoc with Ellery's back
And A.D.A Paula is taken aback
Esteban is back on the force
Not without some problems, of course
He manages to find a coffee tray
Much to Colson's piqued dismay
We learn that Jerry is a first-class jerk
Trying to keep Jeeves from his detective work
We can't forget the Red Stallion gang
With their usual sturm und drang
Pookie, Simon, and, of course Louella
Always on the lookout for a new fella
Nick's homemade cookies are the talk of the station
Much to Sweet Thing's consternation
The lights went out all over town!
More headaches for Sheriff Brown
Tragedy strikes for Wes's friend
Will this night never end?
And look who's come to Jeeves's aid
It's Sergio – but he wants to get paid
He leads Jeeves to the darker side
On Bluebird Lane called the Rawhide
Even drugged and under watchful eyes
Ellery sends help to catch the bad guys
Wes hurries home to his favorite food
Squash pie will put him in a better mood
Jeeves is the hero of these dark days
Saving Lance from Keynes' despicable ways
Colson is being overprotective
Hanging up on his friend the detective
A trip to Puerto Rico is in order
But Colson's never been south of the border
Lance is healing with Jeeves's care
They might just make a special pair
The cases are solved, left and right
Time for all the boys to get some sleep tonight
And let's not forget our star rookie
Safe at home and wanting some nookie!

oh my goodness!  marie!  that was hilarious!

I see you are taking after our resident poet Magicmountain here!  I needed a good laugh on a rainy night with no internet at my hotel in Berlin!
