Sally and Felix, they’re sauntering down the Avenue, when Sally spots someone they know. It’s their old foster brother James. He’s carrying an armload of books. “Hey Felix, would you look who's here. It’s our James, you remember James don’t you?” “Yeah, who could forget James, the creepy little S. O. B.?” “Hey James, how you doing— you remember Sally and me don’t you? What are you doing here on the Avenue, slumming?” “It looks like he’s still in school Felix. Look at all those books.” “You go to college James?” “Yeah Felix, I go to college. How are you and Sally doing?” “We’re doing good since we left your place James. You remember how your old man used to tie me up and beat me, don’t you? You used to think it was funny to hear me scream, didn’t you?” “Hey Felix, maybe we ought to make James scream, just to let him know how it feels?” “Nah, let’s leave him alone. He’s going to college. They might teach him something there. He’d only have us arrested anyway.” “Yeah, you’re right Felix. You always know stuff like that. Bye the way James, Felix, and I-- we don’t need to go to college.” Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert Jordan (07-01-2007 09:27 PM).] |

Ruth, This is very true. You'll notice Felix doesn't waste time on revenge, and he can smell a rat from miles away. You just kind of learn that, it’s something like osmosis. You can tell it's near July 4th. It sounds like a war zone around here. Lots of fireworks. Thanks for reading and the kind words. Bobby |
