At nap time, I started reading the novella "Mrs. Veriker's Courier Maid" in Mrs. Alexander's collection _Forging the Fetters_. I am skimming most of Mrs. Veriker's lines; when a character is *that* disagreeable, it's time for "tell, don't show" -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at centurylink dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/
