Yup – you guessed it. More talking. But this time we fill you in on the lives of three people long missing from the saga. Maybe four.

Please, as always, read and comment! The muse has abandoned her search for the perfect wig. She thinks she looks right fetching with her own pixie hairdo, and so do we. We’ve packed her chains into the box kept under the bed and promised to bring ‘em back out only if she’s a really good girl. Feedback is always welcomed.

Goddess bless willa_writes - my sunshine and beta-supreme, and hugs to gillo, who brings the fine art of hyphens to life.

To read Beloved from the beginning, go Here.

And The World Loses Yet Another...

I remember the day I first saw Oliver! in the theater. It was 1968, and a school outing. Also my first Brit-crush. Jack Wild - the Artful Dodger. He was a cutie with wonderful brown eyes and a marvelous screen presence. He was fifteen years old and played ten, maybe. Won an Academy Award nomination for the role.

He went on to play Jimmy in H.R. Pufnstuf the following year for Sid and Marty Kroft (producers of weird puppetish creature features). He wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but he was mine, and he passed away earlier this week at the age of 52. He'd had a rough life after such an auspicious beginning, mostly due to his own demons. Smoking took him out - cancer.

I'll miss him. **mourns**
