others as it does! If he thinks that Tananda can't ... If
he can't figure out that even I don't . . . Well, he has
no idea of the way our Mum raised us, is all I've got to

say.

Of course, one cannot expect wonders from a Klahd
raised by a Pervert, can one . . . hmmm?? Well, Chumley

whoever it was she was out to collect from.

I was also underwhelmed by the setting for this pending
disaster. I mean, really, what kind of name is Arcadia

for a dimension? It sounds like one of those confounded
