How was it done then?" "Politics, Mr. McMartin," the Colonel dropped without missing a beat. "Was it the Spider?" Sasquatch asked plainly. The Colonel's face went deadpan. He then frowned. "Best to leave some things in the shadowsfor now, Sasquatch." "Seriously, I'd like to know how it was done," Terry insisted. The Colonel was clearly annoyed at being pressed on this. "Are you familiar with the Gallows Pool, Mr McMartin?" [Would Terry know anything about them? If not....] "Gallows Pool. Hmmm.... No, can't say I'm familiar with it."

Let thy raiment be clean, Thy head be washed, and thyself be bathed in water. Cherish the little one holding thy hand, And let the wife rejoice in thy bosom, This is the lot of mankind. -- From the Epic of Gilgamesh --- Links --- 1 mailto:dkirkpat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2 http://www.bluething.org 3 http://www.bluething.org/overdrive/ 4 mailto:ddkirkpat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 5 http://www.bluething.org 6 http://www.bluething.org/overdrive/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message brought to you by the HG-PBEM "OVERDRIVE" mailing list. http://www.bluething.org/overdrive/
