Once more Audry Bruchenhaus and Howard Richard Deacon III cross paths, only this time Audry has returned from Africa with a soon-to-be fiancee while Rick is dealing with PTSD from the disatser in Germany. With the return of Rick Deacon to Audry Bruchenhaus's life, things get more than a little crazy. Months after her trip to Africa when she sees him again, she begins to realize that so many of her friends are connected with him and perhaps that is in fact a dangerous thing as people connected with the Deacon family have a tendency to have gruesome deaths. Also, they all tend to be people either survivors of the occult (such as her roommate Silvia Lewis--an ex-witch) or dangerous folk involved in law enforcement. And though Rick is trying to aviod Audry to prevent his trouble spilling over into her life (as well to give her and her fiancee some space), it is a little too late. And he has decided that Audry needs a bodyguard. But that may even be too late. She is being stalked again. And there have been some freaky murders in NYC, which all point to witchcraft... and Audry may be their next target. [mehr]

It Is At Once The Vice Of The Gentleman, And The Passion Of The Blackguard. With Deep Shame We Are Forced to Admit That The Halls Of Legislation Have Not Been Free From Its Influence, Nor The Judicial Bench Unstained by Its Pollution. [mehr]

The story centres on the relationship between Mrs Kitty Warren and her daughter, Vivie. Mrs. Warren, a former prostitute and current brothel owner, is described as "on the whole, a genial and fairly presentable old blackguard of a woman." Vivie, an intelligent and pragmatic young woman who just graduated from college, has come home to get acquainted with her mother for the first time in her life.[1] The play focuses on how their relationship changes when Vivie learns what her mother does for a living. It explains why Mrs. Warren became a prostitute, condemns the hypocrisies relating to prostitution, and criticizes the limited employment opportunities available for women in Victorian Britain.

Guy bears the situation with a new-found Christian fortitude until the uncle clears his character, enabling him to marry Amy after all. They honeymoon in Italy, finding Philip there suffering from a life-threatening fever. Guy nurses him back to health, but catches the fever himself and dies. Philip, transformed by contrition, inherits Redclyffe. [mehr]

It Is Established Beyond Doubt That Mr. Butler Was Drunk At The Time. This Rests Upon The Evidence Of Sergeant Flanagan And The Troopers Who Accompanied Him, And It Rests Upon Mr. Butler's Own Word, As We Shall See. And Let Me Add Here And Now That However Wild And Irresponsible A Rascal He May Have Been, Yet By His Own Lights He Was A Man Of Honour, Incapable Of Falsehood, Even Though It Were Calculated To Save His Skin. I Do Not Deny That Sir Thomas Picton Has Described Him As A "Thieving Blackguard." But I Am Sure That This Was Merely The Downright, Rather Extravagant Manner, Of Censure Peculiar To That Distinguished General, And That Those Who Have Taken The Expression At Its Purely Literal Value Have Been Lacking At Once In Charity And In Knowledge Of The Caustic, Uncompromising Terms Of Speech Of General Picton Whom Lord Wellington, You Will Remember, Called A Rough, Foulmouthed Devil.
