PatH :How you love to give me S

Haven't thought of the Snow Goose for years and there it was right in the front of my mind... weird.

I've had that happen a lot in this game--the subconscious at work.. You could always play by the rules the rest of us are using and make S optional.

That's not the first play to be used, Joan. And since I own a copy of R.U.R. as a solo paperback, that definitely makes it a book. You ought to read it--you'd like the sociology.

Drink to Yesterday

Manning Coles, on RoaD

PatH · « **Reply #1552 on:** July 05, 2009, 09:31:20 PM »

Manning Coles was actually two people, Cyril Henry Coles and Adelaide Oke Manning. "Drink to Yesterday" was the first in a series of spy stories, and is based in part on Coles' experiences in WWI. It and the sequel, "A Toast to Tomorrow", are fairly realistic; from then on the stories get fluffier, but I still found them amusing when I read them a lifetime ago. "A Toast to Tomorrow" presented a good picture of Germany between the wars, useful to me as background.
