Not quite as good as 'furlong.' That calls up images of...oh...I don't know...Medieval battles and hunting parties and castles. Leagues are nice two, although they are forever linked to "Twenty Thousand" and "Under the Sea," but eh...what can you do? The worst are things like "gram" and "kilogram." They sound so horribly technical!I like this better! *settles in to watch WHB and HB fight*
(And who cares if different stones weigh different amounts?! It's a much nicer word than 'pound', or 'kilogram'. It's as good as 'league', or 'furlong'....)
*ahem* There's got to be a first for everything...and besides, we won't make you do it... We'll just "convince" you. Heh heh. (sometimes I wish I were related to a few mafiosos.)LoL: No one has ever triumphed in making me do something I don't want to do.
Ya know, RF, I've been meaning to ask you something. I know where you got your name (I've read that book too) but where did you hear of the book?
I come from a family of literary snobs--almost all of us are anyway. Um, my family has had most of her books in our house ever since I can remember. I think they may have even been books from one of my parents collEge days or something. How'd you hear about the books?
Dern: The book is "The Lantern Bearers" by Rosemary Sutcliff.
I read that once, ages ago. Mama loves Rosemary Sutcliff's books!

Don't tell him.
You know, if anything, I think GKoN has gotten even crazier during his absence. Scary thought, isn't it?
