Six of Swords by Carole Nelson Douglas

77rolandperkins
Edited: Apr 23, 2010, 4:19 pm

On 74-75:

Strictly speaking, S-- isnʻt the right letter to start 75, even though it leads to the final word of 74. It should be H (from 6 --pronounced "sixth",
or X --if you pronounce 6 as "six"; since itʻs a date, I would pronounce it "sixth".)

But Iʻm not one of those who is always playing from a farther-back posting, calling it "the last CORRECT posting" )

On 203:

For those interested in the Mysteries of
Touchstones OR NO TOuchstones. I noticed that
this author (Tippett, not Einstein) has disappeared at least temporarily from "Search". But she could still be accessed through my Wish List listing of the above title. Touchstones however, responds to my brackets with a different title by her, and converts her name
to blue but not her "Einsteinʻs God" title. The apostrophe in the title may be what prevents it; Iʻm used to "search" not doing apostrophes, but was surprised they couldnʻt find her own name in an author search.
