Still larfing

draggonlaadyWork is busier than busy this week, so free time is lacking. Still reading Spell of Intrigue and chuckling along. Thought I'd share another quote or three with you:
"Vermin infestation, that's a nice turn of phrase. Do me a favor though, don't use it as a form of address when we're with these folks, okay? Trying to talk somebody into doing something they don't think they should do isn't made any easier by calling them Your Verminship."
On being a detective: "Thought is thought, I said. "That's all it is and that's all it takes, that and a willingness to talk to people, get lied to, get beaten up occasionally just like a regular person, spend a lot of your time frustrated and bored, and ultimately find out things you didn't really want to know in the first place."
I was trying to annoy her, at least a little. I didn't want her to start feeling happy I was around, or worse yet, comfortable. As long as she though we were married, I didn't want her to get the idea that maybe whatever was wrong between us was on the way to being reconciled.
