Wow. I am amazed, and very impressed. I suspect saying this gave you 
pangs and you did it anyway. Bravo! Seriously. Hippie hippie 
hooray. ;-) Or something like that. 

And Ginny surprised us last time out; who knows what new depth her 
character will show in Book 6? Anyway, look at her Mum: nurturing to 
the point of asphyxiation! I doubt she'll manage to escape the 
tendency entirely.

Sandy, reflecting how unfair it is that "curmudgeon" refers only to 
men and us females of the species get stuck with the term "b*tch."
