Forgive me if this has been quoted, but I couldn't resist..

A Second Chance, Chap 30:

“Ya know...” Ennis said as they rounded the curve on the county road that dumped off onto Ellery’s street... “yer formers are gettin a little thick on the ground, Ellery.”


LMAO!  Where do you come up with this dialog, Louise?  I love it!

I, for one, am waiting for them to get back to this conversation...

“That don’t matter Ennis. I never felt this way about Bill an we was together four years more or less. I want you ta be my partner… in every way. Ta share everythin.”

<a bit of dialog deleted>

Ennis leaned over and pressed his lips softly against Ellery’s cheek. “I love you too, darlin. Feel better. We can talk about it later, okay? I got ta go.”


That was back on what, Friday or Saturday and we're up to Wednesday now...some eager readers like the romance, as well as all the other stuff...

uh, er... I actually lifted "thick on the ground" from a recent advice column by Dan Savage, who is the soul of wit and has the sharp tongue of Ellery Cantrell if I ever read it.  He wrote, in response to a reader's letter asking if there was a chance of there being any Thai ladyboy prostitutes in vicinity of his home in Ohio, and Dan's reply was that he buy a ticket to fly to Thailand where "Thai ladyboys are thick on the ground."

Now you know where I dig up my wild expressions.

“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”
