Update:
Apparently my books AND the expired coupons that made them free have "migrated" to the company that bought Smashwords. I have no idea how to access the new account.
I have unpublished my books on evil Amazon (or at least I tried to)
I resent having so little control over my own property.

It's my seventeenth birthday, so I thought I'd be forgiven for doing very little to trace the unfortunate Mr Peterson.
I was wrong.
Both George and Mr Bruff had words with me. Telling them he'd signed his own death warrant would not have gone down well!

Frankly I considered my failure a slap in the face, a challenge to a duel that might as well have been delivered by Sir John himself.
How could he have whisked Mr Peterson away before six pairs of watching eyes, choosing the perfect moment to do so?

Good morning Still Honest and everyone on the jukebox today. Thus is a real brain stretcher of a theme and I’m anticipating some very good contributions. Here’s my Token 1-Mason Williams, with his great instrumental, Classical Gas.

I calmed the timid Mr Peterson as best I could; Mr Bruff patted his shoulder.
"We will be nearby and we will be listening," he reassured him. "You will be safe."
"And I just have to pretend I'll keep quiet if he shares his inheritance with me?"
"That's the plan."

The Diorama, across from the Zoological Gardens, was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday afternoon.
Mr Peterson stood in front of a tableau of the pyramids at Giza, stiff and ill at ease.
Mr Bruff and I lingered at the side of the next exhibit, entitled, "Let Them Eat Cake."
