Summary: Dr. Leon Sterndale didn’t specify, did he?

***

Some Cornishmen doused coastal warning lights to lure ships to ruin, to salvage the wrecks.

I cannot marry my love because of this land’s outdated laws.

A man poisons his siblings – murders my darling – over a little money.

I must return to central Africa, to brave hunters and clever weavers and beautiful children. I have lived too long among savages.

Which is one reason, despite the allure of facebook, I never joined. One Thanksgiving dinner is enough to sit through, to do so online all year round...well, that's not the fun kind of masochism, is it?

Ugh, tell me about it. I stay away from RacistBook and Twitter for the same reasons. (Fortunately I don't even have to put up with that garbage at Thanksgiving - it's just me, my awesome sister and her son, and a lot of good food.)
