They also seem vulnerable to the complete volumes of Chaucer, hardback edition.

Do wish I'd figured it out before they got three of my teeth but I've been told I'm slow on the uptake.

Locked in a spare room with my Chaucer. Kind of wish it was a room with an en suite but you take what you can get.

I'm Thom, by the way, Thom Reston.

It does but I'm afraid to open it, there look to be more of these things outside.

[missesthestars]

Thank you.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything in this room except dust, I need to dust.

[missesthestars]

I would keep an eye on that window, then.

[thatsmyjob]

Thank you, I will.
