Oh, I wouldn't say I was offended, exactly--more like . . . politely baffled, I guess.  I
really couldn't figure out what in the Virtues essays could have drawn your response, but
on the other hand, I couldn't remember anything else that had been said about
Christianity lately, since I'd forgotten about Dee's post.  I felt like--what?  Is there
some spinach hanging from my teeth or something?  What on earth did I say wrong???

Anyway, I'm glad we've gotten it all straightened out!

Cheers,
Peg

"Sorry to hear about old Bothari.," Ivan offered when she'd left.  "Who'd have thought he
could do himself in cleaning weapons after all these years?  Still, there's a bright
side--you've finally got a chance to make time with Elena, without him breathing down
your neck.  So it's not a dead loss."

Miles exhaled carefully, faint with rage and reminded grief.  He does not know, he told
himself.  He cannot know . . . "Ivan, one of these days somebody is going to pull out a
weapon and plug you, and you're going to die in bewilderment, crying, "What did I say?
What did I say?"

"What did I say?" asked Ivan indignantly.
