When I look back on the case, my thoughts turn, not to Jim Browner and his evil deed, nor even to Holmes and his remarkable deductions. No, I think of Sarah Cushing: how she, armed only with her venomous words, brought down death and ruin on so many souls, including her own. Indeed, "no rage like love to hatred turned."


Author's Notes: My first post here! *waves* The full quote (by William Congreve): "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."

Ooh, ooh! I am so thrilled you're playing along! And you hit it out of the park the first time. This is very powerful and biting, and the reference is just spot-on. Terrific.

Thank you so much for joining us! Welcome!
