clarentineA snippet from Satisfaction that I enjoyed:
They had not spoken of Josh’s divided loyalties. On board the ship, crowded in with so many others, there had been no chance to talk, or to do anything else. Josh found the thought of privacy to air their worries a daunting prospect...but the thought of having Mary to himself, away from the pirates, excited him, too.
He cleared his throat. “I should like that.”
She smiled. “I was beginning to wonder.”
*****
The laptop woes continue. My tech guy should return from Atlanta late this week, and if I'm lucky I might be back on my own machine this weekend. I've got my fingers crossed. I have backups for everything except my photos and, while losing them would not be a disaster, I would prefer not to.
*****
Research of late has been limited. I'm still reading Fiametta Rocco's book _The Miraculous Fever Tree_, on the history of the use of cinchona bark to combat malaria, though the time period she's in now is beyond the one I'm working in. It's a well-written book. I have another book requested through interlibrary loan, but it hasn't come in yet. I hope I still need it by the time it gets here.
