The Quiet Gentleman

[mariness]

Good news: the roofing hell appears to be nearing its close. The inspectors came by today and gave their ok, which, yay. The yard still has roofing supplies everywhere and the driveway still has a large dumpster but by any standards this is an improvement. Also, I am able to get a passport after all, so, another improvement.

In this improved mood I offer you a discussion of attempted murder in the Regency era, over at Tor.com: The Quiet Gentleman.
