I'm in typo hell right now, so just refresh if you see a stupid misspelled word.

Didn't spot any mistakes Louise, so don't worry. :-* Oooh I don't think Ennis is gonna be too happy about all this fancy gamblin'. He doesn't like Ellery throwing his money around! Will those girls go away soon and leave E and E to themselves? And I can't wait to find out what this token is gonna be ;D

A tortured soul is right...and he left the movie rather suddenly and shockingly. I wasn't prepared for that! I am not sure I will ever watch it again, but I am glad I watched it once.

L

PS...I am sure everyone has heard this a million times, but I'll mention it again for the one person on this planet who might not know this bit of trivia: this is the role that Larry McMurtry saw Heath in and said, "That's Ennis."

I agree Leslie and Christie, it was a FANTASTIC movie. Tortured soul indeed. All of the acting was brilliant. And yeah, LM was soo right about that being Ennis.

     Very clever!     Getting that check from Jeeves I mean!   Now a clue to his identity!    And something that can be traced!    :)

A lovely pre lunch chapter - thanks Louise. I know nothing at all about poker, but that was fun. I loved straight faced, no messin' Ellery. You just know that game had nothing to do with the money. Good thinking about the cheque David - that hasn't crossed my mind. I'd make a lousy detective  ;D

Dupree's nose seems a bit our of joint. Jealously?

I'm madly curious about the token that Ennis has for Ellery. I mean, he wouldn't have heaps to spend would he?

Didn't notice any typos either Louise - too busy being embroiled in the story.

Yes me too Kazza, cant wait to find out what it is. I know I shouldnt say this about a fellow Brit, but I dont like Jeeves, he,s a smarmy git. Thing is, because he,s British,(this might sound silly) but I can hear his voice when he speaks? If that makes sense, thats how I know he,s smarmy lol. I wonder if he will give Ellery a cheque though. He obviously has something to hide, so giving him a cheque might not be a good idea for him. We shall see. And I didnt notice any typos either Louise. I also know nothing about poker Kazza, but it was a good chapter. I,m glad Jeeves got his nose shoved out of joint lol.
