Robin,
thanks for that. I appreciate your restraint. The entire situation is
saddening. However ....
On a more upbeat note, am reading _Pacts and Conjurations_ with pleasure.
And at the risk of judging a book by its, well the cover is lovely. Great
job by Arrowhead.At the moment I'm particularly enjoying _Elizabethan
Mysteries_ and _Reprise_. Hard to even hint at the range of these.
best
Randolph
