Author's Note...
due to the failings of the formatting from her computer
Dear all-important reader:
It appears that asterisks, dividers and double spacing between paragraphs refuse to turn up after I upload my documents onto FF net. Therefore I would like to say that there is supposed to be a double-space/wingding dividers/whatsitsname just before part with the preacher (don't worry, this is not a spoiler). This particular part happens some years after the main incident of this story.
I had to notify you of this because readers of my past stories have occasionally complained of the lack of these little amenities that make reading so much more pleasurable. My apologies.
Yours forever,
Charlemaine
