We admired her Bingo-Little-ish plan to invest the pot in the lottery, thereby no doubt putting her on velvet (or at least seeing her through to the next quarter's allowance).

]]> Comment on Northwodes Book Club – “Hot Water” by krisfowler http://www.northwodes.org/index.php/2011/03/northwodes-book-club-hot-water/#comment-7 krisfowler Tue, 03 May 2011 18:52:44 +0000 http://www.northwodes.org/?p=34#comment-7 Passing along a note from Dave Fritz: 'Great discussion last night! Good choice of book ("Hot Water" - a perhaps oblique reference to the cistern which figures so prominently in the book). 'The line in the book, "Chateau Blissac has burglars the way other houses have mice," reminded those in attendance of the fact that "Blandings Castle has imposters the way other houses have mice." So, one of the topics that came up last night was the number of imposters as well as the number of burglars at Chateau Blissac, who was which, and how many of the imposters were also burglars, and vice-versa (believe it or not, they did not totally overlap!). 'I will look forward to the next selection (whatever it turns out to be).' Passing along a note from Dave Fritz:
