And another great chapter, Louise.  It's so sweet that Ellery and Colson both grumble when they're the "patient" but isn't it wonderful that they are there to spoil each other.

I love how Nicky wasn't bothered that Jeremy wasn't in the mood and how they brainstormed together - it's evident they have such respect for each other.  All A's for Nick?  Way to go - I can't say I'm surprised - there's a lot of depth to that naughty boy! 

Thanks!

Everyday stuff boring?

Heck,  I could read about Dupree and Nicky doing laundry.  Of course in my mind they would be naked of course...   LOL.

David!  You're still reading too!  Yay! I was just thinking about you yesterday.  Okay, I will keep the naked laundry in mind. You have always given me such great ideas!  Stay tuned for a chapter in a little while!

Ha!  I was going to say I could read about them going grocery shopping, but that laundry idea sounds good!  ;D

Actually, I'd be interested to see how the Dupree/Sampson household divides household duties.  From what we saw in the last story, Nicky appears to be a pretty good cook, and I think it would be sweet to see them shopping together.   

Fabienne is right - it could never be boring!

A trip to Yuma sounds like a good idea, and from what we've seen in the past, Jeremy is an excellent interrogator. 

Yeah, I'm sure Paula is still smarting over the Dupree date debacle (not to mention her crush on Ellery), but it also looks like she thinks the sheriff's department is not sharing information with her.....I wonder if she'll run into Wes at the D.A.'s office....

Ellery is never going to be a person who can simply sit and relax, it's just not in him.  It would be great if he and Colson could go riding together - it's been a long time and I'll bet Milli misses him!

Some interesting developments!  Thanks.

Ha!  Well, my Christmas shopping officially ended Saturday night, and I'm now in the cooking/baking frenzy stage of holiday fun, but there's always time to read! 

SPOILERS

I never got no money from Amos Marigold. He came by once over ta Sammy’s – I don’t know what for, I thought we was gettin rousted, but Sammy talked to em. He didn’t stay long.”

Ahh...verrrry interesting!  The plot does indeed thicken. 

“Well, that’s what I’m thinkin about right now. What I should be doin if my time is runnin out.”

Gah....don't talk like that Ellery! But....I'm curious, as always, to see what is going on in that brilliant, fascinating mind of his!  The dialogue between Ellery and Colson is always so.....right and true and real.  Amazing. 

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, Louise!  You've given me a fantastic present with this story. Thank you.
