Ha! Well, my Christmas shopping officially ended Saturday night, and I'm now in the cooking/baking frenzy stage of holiday fun, but there's always time to read!
SPOILERSI never got no money from Amos Marigold. He came by once over ta Sammy’s – I don’t know what for, I thought we was gettin rousted, but Sammy talked to em. He didn’t stay long.”Ahh...verrrry interesting! The plot does indeed thicken.
“Well, that’s what I’m thinkin about right now. What I should be doin if my time is runnin out.”
Gah....don't talk like that Ellery! But....I'm curious, as always, to see what is going on in that brilliant, fascinating mind of his! The dialogue between Ellery and Colson is always so.....right and true and real. Amazing.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, Louise! You've given me a fantastic present with this story. Thank you.
