Oh Yea!! Tugger is getting into the game. Who is this old lady? She knows Stone…

I suspect that most of the regular patrons know who Maryanne Stone is. She and Otellio have been having public spats. Given that Otellio spends the vast majority of his time at the Topaz, where do you think the public spats have been? ;-)

I really admire your syntax, it is so smooth. This is evident is much of your writing, including this!

Whatever they may say about him, Tugger has certainly some balls, plonking himself back into the centre of the action like that. Another respectable episode, marking some progress in our desperate attempts to keep our peripheral characters vaguely in the game!
