Chat 01
Mark: I am chatting.
Dave: Yes you are.
Chat 02
Sally: Hi everyone.
Larry: Hello Sally.
Chat 01
Dave: Did you get the new game?
Mark: Yes I did. It's awesome.

Yabbut, Wolfie...that would not necessarily get you that "suspense" that I think she tried to build in there with the empty carats. Not sure, but...AND the red herrings, clues, etc.

The rest of the book isn't worth struggling through IMO, so I have given up.

Yes, that's exactly why she did that. I am going to try to sit here and think of a better mousetrap for it. I'm not wild about Wolfie's idea (sowwy, Wolfie, you knows I wuvs you!), so...there's gotta be a better way. GOTTA BE.
