You write it so well.  It does make one get caught up into it no matter what part of the book you post exerpts from.  Keep'm coming.

Wow! I just want to take old Tom and do what CCT said...

Wonderful characterization of a sub-human brute!

Well now we don't mind what happens to dirty old Tom he could fall down a dry well and Mary could pour boiling hot water over him, or gradually fill the well with manure. Quite exciting in a way.

That was a good write, prooves that all writing isn't pleasant and happy, full of compassion. You're a great writer darlin'  but I've gone soft in my old age, the characters bad and good are so recognizingly described, I got to hate the man and love the lass and her baby.
