Whiskeyjack | Victoria Goddard

Ch 1: Finally, with a faint thrill- for if not taboo, magic was certainly desperately unfashionable-I murmured the words of the insect-away spell. Eako ekaino ekalo.

humouress Ch 1: Jack and Ben nodded and performed much the same inspection of the cell as I had earlier. It did not appear to move either of them to poetry, either. 2d

humouress Ch ?: I was still cherishing that off-hand comment about Mad Jack Greenwing boasting about his son. 2d

humouress Ch ?: “There are at least three different - let us call them opportunities - for those of us on the wild lay concerning you, Master Jemis“
“Mr. Greenwing,“ I corrected politely.
“You don't sound surprised, Mr. Greenwing.“
I sipped some the 'rotgut whiskeyjack', which was the smoothest and smokiest whiskey I'd ever tasted. It was even better than what the Hunter in Green's man had laced my coffee with.

“Ma'am, I am merely surprised that there are only three. My life is the stuff of melodrama.“
She smiled slightly. “I've seen the play. It was somewhat histrionic but very well done.“
“It was entirely false.“ 2d

humouress Ch ?: If it were a bookstore with a good Classical Shaian section you'd be just as long.“
'I spend a sufficient amount of time at the local bookstore, thank you.“
“Jemis, you *live* in the local bookstore. Bookish folk the province over would swoon at the thought.“ 2d

humouress Ch ?: The thin woman jerked back. “Who do you think you are, young man, speaking so to me?“
I confess I very nearly rolled my eyes, but I managed to turn the desire into an even more ironic bow, with every curlicue gesture I had ever devised. “I have no idea who you are, madam, but I am Jemis Greenwing.“

Her mouth opened, but the quiet man behind her grunted in satisfaction and silenced her. “This is the Baroness Temby, Mr. Greenwing, and you are under arrest.“
I just managed not to say, “Again?“ 2d

Wednesday's Wrath | Don Pendleton

I‘ve had tears in my eyes and a grin on my face all day. #wdncw This is resistance and hope. F*** trump and MAGA and billionaires and patriarchy and capitalism. I‘m so proud of NYC and all of the other cities and states that voted against fascism.
