How very chaste ...

Without a word, she barged through, threw herself into his arms and planted a hard kiss on his lips … a kiss that lasted for well over a minute.

Chapter 16



“And finally, I’d like some items quietly delivered to my suite … a wooden horse of the kind used by carpenters, a coil of stout rope, something to cut lengths of it with, and a nice supple cane. Think you can manage that, without anyone knowing?”

“Yessir. Daughters like yours sometimes need a bit of discipline, eh?”

“That O’Neill is none of your business. Just do as I say, and be off with you.”

“Yessir.”

You mean "doesn't wash under his foreskin", I presume?

I don't know why, I think I'm some kind of keyboard cockney - I keep dropping my h's :doh:

Now corrected!

Stan doesn't wash under his foreskin either;)

And that's why Stan is a better man than Seamus
 
An unplanned note:

In the US, particularly in detective fiction, cops and private detectives are often called "shamus". There is some dispute as to the derivation of the term; some believe it comes from Seamus, because many police officers were, at least according to the stereotype, of Irish origin. Others believe it comes from the Yiddish shammes, or the sexton of the synagogue, who would generally know everything that was going on in the community. And Seamus is Celtic for James, so James Moore has hired his namesake to watch over his daughter....

The things you learn at cruxforums! ;)
 
Assuming Barb’s riding side-saddle (like the illustrious Esther Stace, pictured above), then this is where the Tight Little goes:

Not quite sure where that protrusion fits in, but I’m sure it will prevent Barb from falling off when she inevitably crashes into a tree/ duck-pond/ windmill/ President Grover Cleveland :rolleyes::doh:
