And as for that gumshoe, Saucy, don't ever go telling her any secrets. They'll be all over town in no time  :o

Still bristling at the slanderous accusation, Nicky turns up the collar of her trenchcoat, pulls the brim of her trilby over her eyes and takes a long pull on her 'Lucky Strike' cigarette...

...she clears her throat and motions to Kerry to join her in the shadowy doorway of a speakeasy, steam rising up around her from the street vents in this seedy side of town.

That's Detective Saucy to you... Listen, I got somethin' on MacFadyen, but it's gonna cost ya...

A dirty roll of marked dollar bills exchanges hands. Detective Saucy counts the bills and pushes them deep into the pocket of her trench, eyes darting and looking furtively at passers-by, the lost and forgotten of this dirty ol' town...

MacFadyen and that broad o' his... they got a kid... two years old... smiles a lot.

Detective Saucy starts to get nervous.

I'd skip this town if I was you, before the sh*t goes down. You can have that one for free...

Detective Saucy disappeares into the night, her trench flapping in the gusts from passing hooting taxicab's, casting long shadows in the rising steam...
Will you stop playing with that radio of yours, I'm trying to get to sleep!

Gasp! Saucy, your investigative skills are impressive!   :o (I'm trying to be serious here, folks - genuinely giving Saucy a compliment!) They are, indeed, raising a child together. However, whether Matthew is the father or not, is another matter!  ??? (You knew I couldn't keep from being bitchy for long!)

(Serious again) And I loooove your writing style. The atmosphere you conjured up there in just a few brief paragraphs was beautifully done! (and the use of dear sweet Jack's words was just lovely)    :)

Kerry ~

For more of Saucy's genius, do check out her superb portrayal of Jack's Body Butter, spouse to Ennis' WarshRag (played by another brilliant friend of mine, Alec)  on the Performance Thread!  ;D

Nicky is absolutely brilliant!   :-*

I have this mental image of Jess typing on the computer with one hand and holding the telephone in the other one.

I think she's probably a multitasker.  :P ...  :)

"Fanny" means vagina in the UK and Australia?

Good Lord. That's not what it means here. haha

It means butt, or ass, or bootie. It's the backside of your frontside.  :)

Your boo-tay!

Nope! it definitely does not mean "boo-tay" in Australia! Closer to the "c" word, actually! Or, if you're French, "sunt" - with a cedilla!  8)

Don't feel bad, David. We use words in Australia that may not have an agreeable meaning in the US. For example, I recently mentioned that Matthew had visited his "attorney." The word "attorney" is not in common usage in Australia. We call a legal advisor a "solicitor"! So I had to deliberately adjust my English usage so that my US friends would know what I was saying. I'm sure it would have sounded strange to you if I'd said, "Matthew is visiting a solicitor." To an Australian, however, it wouldn't sound at all unusual. Same language, different usage . . .   :)

We even have a candy company here in the US called "Fanny Mae"!

(I won't buy that candy anymore now)  :P

Yeah, you would definately raise a few eyebrows if you said that in this country.  :D
