More than a decade later, when the charismatic son of a powerful Republican family sweeps her off her feet, she is surprised to find herself admitted into a world of privilege. In her small Wisconsin hometown she learns the virtues of politeness, but a tragic accident when she is seventeen shatters her identity and changes the trajectory of her life.

Holmes points out that Wilson's right hand is larger than his left, a sign of greater muscular development on one side as a result of physical work.Fact: Wilson started as a ship's carpenter.Wilson has also traveled to China, has been doing a lot of writing lately, and that's about it. ![]() Holmes observes what Watson is doing and says that, "beyond the obvious facts" (League.16), Wilson has been a manual laborer, takes snuff (tobacco that you snort not too common these days since no one wants to get nose cancer), and is a Freemason (a still-existing guy-only secret society).Besides Wilson's bright red hair and expression of discontent, Watson can't see anything special in their visitor's features. Watson takes the opportunity to look carefully at Wilson to see what he can tell about the guy just based on his appearance.Jabez Wilson (the redhead), which, promises Holmes, will prove what he's told Watson before: life is even stranger than fiction.

Clearly the son is inheriting his mother’s routine, and presumably her ladder. ![]() ![]() It sets up the cycle of behaviour repeating itself in the end. When the mother’s actions are taken metaphorically, it expresses a parent’s boundless love for their child, and the desire to nurture and offer affection at all stages of the child’s life. While Payne is a fan of the original, "Topher Fixed It" has taken out the 'creepiness' of "Love You Forever." What part? I guess some people were concerned about the part when the son is all grown up and his Mom would sneak into his bedroom to utter those iconic words one more time.Īn Atlanta-based playwright Topher Payne has provided alternate endings to numerous classic kids' books that may have not stood the test of time, or are no longer considered 'healthy.' The beloved CHILDREN'S book by Robert Munsch about any parent's love for their child has been a staple in households around the world for YEARS.Īpparently some people have found parts of the book."creepy." "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." On what planet is this book CREEPY? MAYBE it's because I'm hyperventilating ugly crying 3 pages in? Sheesh! ![]() ![]() Interestingly enough, the retro-style Who's Who entry for the Golden Age Mister Miracle seems to set up a possible modern mystery, seeding the idea that Thaddeus Brown may have faked his own death. Secretly Thaddeus Brown, the Golden Age Mister Miracle is the escape artist who trained Scott Free in showmanship and who passed on his name and costume to the New God when he came to Earth after escaping Apokolips.īut what's new for Thaddeus Brown is an apparent career as a Golden Age superhero that's been retconned into the DC Universe. Who he is: Interestingly enough, the Golden Age Mister Miracle actually is a pre-existing character from the backstory of the original Mister Miracle. So is this a version of him from the past, or another hero to use the name Mister Miracle? Mister Miracle, AKA Scott Free, is the original Mister Miracle, and a member of the New Gods. What we thought: There's no actual Golden Age Mister Miracle in real-world comics from the '40s, but DC fans will immediately know the modern-day character of Mister Miracle, introduced by Jack Kirby in the '70s.

How did he settle on a stuffed bear as the hero of such a tale? “I don’t remember how or when a toy bear came into my life,” wrote Don to editor Linda Zuckerman, "but he must have come from way out of my past. His goal was to create a story that juxtaposed the luxury of department stores with the relatively modest lives of their patrons. HISTORYĪuthor and illustrator Don Freeman wanted to write a picture book about a character who explores a department store at night. In 50 years, this little teddy bear has appeared in more than 40 books and warmed the hearts of thousands. Corduroy first appeared in 1968 on the shelf of a department store and young readers fell in love. ![]() ![]() She is careful to stress that this is not a matter of naively drawing "lessons" from the past. In SPQR, Beard does in an extended fashion what she was doing in her debate with Johnson: she is explaining why Rome should continue to matter to any educated person. It is a book immersed in the controversies of her academic peers, but addressed more to the general reader than it is to them. Beard is as adept at the wry aside as she is at scholarly exposition, and both qualities are abundantly evident in SPQR, a general history of Rome that can fairly be called the summation of her life's work as an interpreter of ancient civilisation. Viewers of her popular television documentaries on Pompeii would not have been surprised. ![]() ![]() The only barbs were in the witticisms, which, by all accounts, Beard delivered with a withering accuracy that Johnson, for all his oratorical gifts, could not muster.

But what starts out as a one-night stand, quickly turns into something more. In what can only be considered a complete lapse in judgment, Violet finds out just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet’s previous misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes more than just a hot body with a face to match. Violet isn’t interested in his pretty, beat-up face, or his rock-hard six-pack abs. That is until she meets the legendary team captain-Alex Waters. She’s smart enough to steer clear of those hot, well-built boys with unparalleled stamina. With a famous NHL player for a step-brother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation many hockey stars come with.
