SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALARM! BEWARE! SPOILER COMING UP HERE 'TIS--THE SPOILER That leopard in BATM is mysterious. What's that leopard all about?

Among Christine's first words to Maturin are: "...we had a roaring bellowing night of it with that damned leopard...what ...

Charles, Susan BATM SPOILER BELOW Jenny's "dogs spots" With all due respect, to what I think is an interesting analysis, I took the reference to Jenny's interrupted "They come for dogs [because of the] spots" thought to refer to the attraction of the leopard to the urine "spots" commonly left by both dogs and cats as they move through what they consider to be their territory. Both species mark territory by "spotting", and each can (apparently) re ...

614 [lissun-bag] BATM SPOILER "spots" -- rank: 633

BATM SPOILER BELOW Somebody asked about "Spots." (Was it John Berg? I've dumped the Spoiler messages I was a-saving.) Anyhow, Jenny, who is Christine's maid, tells SM and Square (page 112) about the leopard's paw-print: "They come for the dogs." Seeing the men's disapproval (why?)..."the word 'spots' died in her mouth." What could she have been about to say? Probably the old cliché about the leopard not changing her spots. Hardly something SM or Square ne ...
