I've read Dickens' A CHRISTMA...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I've read Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL, and as we see Scrooge at the beginning, he WAS an embittered, avaricious, nose to the grind stone miser hostile to good cheer and merriment. We do get glimpses in his youth of times with his sister and his first master, old Fezziwig, when Scrooge was not like that. In fact, Fezziwig reminded me a bit of Nicholas van Rijn!<br /><br />The comments about the ruined Imperial Palace reminded me of the still massive ruins of the Imperial palaces I've seen on the Palatine Hill of Rome.<br /><br />Should League apprentices when seeing non humans? After all, by the time of "The Season of Forgiveness," humans had been familiar with non human races for about three centuries. More than enough time for generations to grow up familiar with the idea and presence of aliens.<br /><br />SeanSean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
