    From Chapter 12 in Protector:

    Cajeiri looked at the paper, and found a name: Jeichido, daughter of the second Babsidi and Saidaro.

    What was it Pyanfar said, “Let ’em think themselves to death!”?

      Hey, welcome back, SmartCat. I haven’t seen you around here much (although I haven’t been very active either). I trust you too are enjoying the lovely, late summer (at least while I type this) day here in New England: crisp and warm while the sun is up and as it is going down and the breeze picking up, delightfully cool for sleeping. And the asters are all abloom.

      which reminds me of a few of Ray Bradbury’s titles…
      “Something Wicked This Way Comes”
      “I Sing the Body Electric”
      …….

      “I Sing the Body Electric” is from Walt Whitman (but I’m sure you all know that already.)

    Ah, indeed, The Scottish Play. ;)The play which should not be named. 😉 We used to love to do cons with Michael Sheard…a grand gentleman. He came up in the stage tradition, and we did some very fun skits together. He taught us some lovely stage lore, and could go from cherubic to really scary villain in two seconds flat—wonderful actor. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0790410/

    I have a theory about that. McBeath rhymes with heath. Someone is angry with the constant mispronunciation of the name.

    I haven’t been commenting but I have been lurking.
    It’s been a see saw kind of summer! I’ve had some health issues, nothing major or life threatening, but a total nuisance and time consuming. And that’s enough of that!
    The garden has been wonderful although we did not do vegs this year due to Woodrow, who has since moved out! Small joys!
    Speaking of the Bard, has anyone seen The Hollow Crown? (Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V) Shakespeare beautifully done and Tom Hiddleston is to die for! Forget Loki, give me Prince Hal!
