There are not words for how awesome this is. The sawgrass! the moonshine! the baby alligators and breaking into the warehouse! Alligator snapping turtles! Who bend aluminum! Oh Peter, you are so noble and put upon and I love them all to death. The cypress and the muck and the sounds and what on earth is a pair of leopard spotted Y-frogs and did Edmund give them to Peter and for what end? I was envisioning a leopard spotted banana sock but they don't come in pairs and that led to visuals of the sort I dare not poke.

Do they get the camera bag back??? And of course down thar in Florida, it's called the War Between the States aka The War Of Northern Aggression. I love you.

I think I need to update my endnotes - y-fronts are a colloquial UK term for briefs. I don't know where Ed got them or what he was shopping for when he found them. Some things are best kept private.

Of course they get the bag back! Mary's been sitting on (literally) a nice long-handled fishing net. You don't go looking for specimens without a variety of nets, but you do not mention them when you've got a boy-who-is-a-King in a dither. She sent Peter into the muck on principle, to see whether his good nature has a limit, and because she could.

Hah. Mary and Eustace do really get along quite well. Definitely a protege for Mary, that boy.

And the moonshine! But the real question is whether or not it's more lethal the Plum Lightning? I think Peter would need to drink a barrel of it in order to just forget about being in a boat, nearly becoming some animal's dinner and wondering why he decided to join the Mary, his cousin and Asim here in Florida in the first place.

And now, I'm very curious about the Rat and Crow business in Russia. :-)

I don't think any drink we can imagine (short of a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster) is on par with Dwarven booze. But this Peter has not been spending his spare time building up a tolerance to the wildest and vilest distilled beverages, so it hit like... a civil war.

I wonder what's going on in Russia, too. Don't you think Ruth should tell us?

"Isn't he magnificent?" Mary sighed lustily. "Look at the size of him. The colouring. I've never seen the like ( ... )

*grin* The fourth tooth does not protrude! There are sockets in the upper jaw, just inside the row of teeth, where the bottom teeth fit into the skull.

I wonder if Mary has anything to say about alligator hips?

And as for what happened in Russia -- I have no idea. Maybe someone else does.....

I LOVE ALL OF THIS.

I can't even comment coherently at this point, except to say that this is absolutely amazing and poor, poor Peter. Poor, poor man.

Thank you so much!

I really enjoy putting Peter into ridiculous situations. My take on Peter is that he's got a solid sense of self-worth and an even more solid sense of humor. He'll grumble, but afterwards he'll be the one laughing hardest at himself.

And he's just so obliging.... go get the camera? Well, you did sort of knock it off the boat...
