Ellery can be angelic …


…or a little devilish!


Either way Ennis always looks at him adoringly.

I was just reading Chapter 61 and realised we don't have the A.D.A. Samuelson yet ..
So how about these options?  I can't remember if she is supposed to be blonde or not, but #3 is my pick!  :)


#1


#2


#3


Okay, back to reading ..lol

She is blond and very beautifrul. She apparently looks like a model.

UPDATE: Nevermind, Samuelson is a brunette. I got confused with Dupree's girlfriend description. SORRY!

Natali where did you get that description of her as a blonde?

Ok, EDIT:  Apparently there is a confusion between Janice Anselm - Dupree's leggy blonde nurse girlfriend, and A.D.A Paula Samuelson, towering at nearly 6 feet in height, brunette, with wide-brimmed schoolmarm glasses, graduate from Ithaca.  Ranchgal's quote is from chapter 16 and is the correct one for Samuelson.

Sorry for the confusion Milli!

I don't know if ADA Samuelson's age has been mentioned, but in my mind (a dark and disturbing place) I pictured her somewhere in her late 30s.

I am having an even worse day than yesterday. More pantsified in fact.  :(

Thank God there is a brand new chapter of The Laramie Saga to enjoy with my lunch.  ;D

Thank you Louise.

Dupree did the right thing in being honest, but I still felt bad for Jeeves. He doesn't seem like a bad guy. Hopefully they become very good friends.

That was a lovely chapter.

Jeeves is wooing Dupree. That's what it is, a courtship, and he was so gentle about it.

I like that Dupree was honest without being hurtful.

Of course tongues will be awagging down at the Red Stallion, especially as Dupree is going to spend the night.

I wonder if Ellery will be able to control himself and not make any comment  :)

for everybody who doesn't yet know how much I love Milli for being such a talented fan artist:  here is the posting I made on BBM_Phoenix archive for the "Laramie Saga", using Milli's lovely cover art for the collected works!

 http://community.livejournal.com/bbm_phoenix/tag/author:+louisev

And from now on I am putting Millie's fanart cover on all of my updates so that she can get a little well-deserved "exposure" !
