The words that followed fore sounded very like a piece of obscenity far, far grosser than anything that Jack was ever likely to say and Stephen was still trying to recapture the sound and int ...

Oh, but wouldn't you rather have sunny, twinkling-eyed golden haired Jack around? He can sew on a button and sweeps and tidies up the scullery in a flash, and he'd be prettier to look at. I don't know if he can cook, but he did get a meal together for Stephen and Scriven in that little cottage in Post Captain. That episode was just like The Odd Couple, slovenly Stephen and tidy Jack. ~~ Linnea 'I will give you twelve and sixpence for him.' 'Do you mean to dissect him already?' PC Ca ...
