Yes! I'm happy you mention it, I thought I was picturing this. One I remember right now is on page 92, first paragraph. Mrs. Wheatley and Beth are on a plane and start to bond.
"She [Mrs. W] was high-spirited and confidential and amusing, and Beth would laugh a long time and look out the window at the clouds below them and feel better than she had ever felt, even during those times at Methuen when she had saved up her green pills and taken five or six at once.
Reiminds me of the time when Ennis thought he'd never had such a good time, felt he could paw the white out of the moon.
On the same note, Mrs. Weathley's first name is Alma, of all names! And then the Denver-thingie! Mr. Wheatley went to Denver (for a second, I contemplated whether he migh be gay :laugh: ;)).

I imagine this picture is somewhere in the HHH thread already, but I copped it from an LJ this morning - the chess board caught my eye!

That's a great picture, Marie, and I've never seen it before...I don't think it is on the HHH thread!

Marie, I second what Leslie said about the pic: I'm pretty sure it's not on HHH yet. Go over and post it there :D.
