    Note the brief hesitancy before Shauna identifies Mildred as “my friend”. She’s still not sure whether they are in fact friends or whether they both just have a mutual friend in Lottie.

    Ah, just tell them the truth, Shauna. “I recruited him to assist in freeing the rest of our class from the onion people’s hypnotic sway, because he wears glasses.”

    Corky is very good in inventing stories.

    And their friendship might die, too.

    Shauna: I’m going to be as rude here as possible.

    Also Shauna: What’s the proper etiquette for cutlery?

    Had to think about the bird story for a minute, then recalled it was in ‘Giant Days’ where that happened.

    Use them starting from the outside in. First utensil should be the salad fork. Butter knife should be on your bread plate. You might have to double up on the fish fork for use during the main course as well as the fish knife, but if you still have difficulties always follow your hostess. For dessert tonight I have a tiramisu planned. Matcha instead of coffee. MMMMM OISHII

    Maybe Mossydyn and Shauna eventually got married and moved to the US and onto an estate, and that’s why we never see Shauna later in life.

    ooo… I just noticed! Corky has gimlet eyes. Oh my, what is the ultimate outcome going to be here?
