Courvoisier-sipping senator Sedgewick Sexton; the hideous, grotesque, smoke-spewing, long-limbed inhuman creature Marjorie Tench; and Deltas One, Two and Three are just a few of the characters discussed in this episode. So much happens. So many words are misused. So many editors went un-hired. It’s a wonder we could fit in Real or Fanfic as well as Dumb Sentences of the Week.
READING ASSIGNMENT: Read through Chapter 100. If you dare!

Hello! Probably plenty of people have gotten to this before me, but I think I do have an answer for Mike’s perplexity regarding “not for lack of space but for lack of necessity”. I take it to mean that the room is small, not because there isn’t enough space in the building to give them a bigger room, but because they don’t need a bigger room. It’s still an incredibly awkward sentence but at least in that way I think it makes sense.
This is my first time commenting, since I usually listen while driving or cleaning and forget what I wanted to say by the time I’m able to type again (or I figure 200 jackals have gotten there before me), but this book is rivaling Bob Honey in that it is *such* a slog that I feel like I’m struggling to pay attention enough to know what’s going on and appreciate the humor. The Marjorie Tench impressions are all that is keeping me going. XD Here’s hoping for another cozy mystery next as we go into the holiday season!
