      I discovered this last fall, a few feet from my door.  Since there are a few botanists here, I thought someone might be able to identify it.  I've looked at some photo archives, but found no…Continue

Chapter 23 Episode 10 Conclusion of Act IV

     SCENE II:  The guest suite.  The mantle clock reads 2150.  All of CR&A+K, except Regnad, are present.  The door opens, Regnad enters and closes and bolts the door.





A.       (With mock annoyance)  And just where have you been?



R.       Saying thank you and goodnight to Luisa.  You're right, Adele, she really has taken a liking to me.  Why else would our farewell dinner be a pizza party?



M.       I had a bit to do with it, as well.

Very true - thank you for your words of caution.  I am fond of getting lost though....

Just wondering if you ever attend the New England Steampunk Meetups.  I have on a few occasions and must say, it's always amusing to rub elbones with those who share our proclivities.

Cheers!

I am happy to accept your offer of friendship.  I enjoy your well thought out commentaries and hope to "see you 'round the empire" often.

Wishing you a lovely day!

Many thanks .

I should have named the pistols when they appeared . Sherlock Holmes is quite right to regard them with some suspicion .

At 5:13am on May 13, 2014, Prof. Sebastian Fate said…

Thank you for the question . Hope you are enjoying the story .

The pistols are probably Schonberger-Laumann available in 1892 although not a long term success .

I hope you won't take it amiss if I ask you to remove your question in the interests of story continuity .

Thank you for the intel on the Flash episodes, and no I have not seen them. I saw the movie and figured it was safer for my younger kids to stick with the radio show. I'll have to take a look at them though if they are that good. Thanks again!
