We'll see in the future ... <br />Humor IS so tough to find the right balance. A lot times I think it comes from the visual you create, as when Hamish looks out the window and Lugs is gone.Marnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356717353308912189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909013599663915418.post-58441662969398176142012-03-08T11:37:47.132-05:002012-03-08T11:37:47.132-05:00Mrs. MRM: It really sticks with you, doesn't i...Mrs. MRM: It really sticks with you, doesn't it? The other Marion Chesney scene I always remember is from one of the Hamish Macbeth books. Hamish is at the Italian restaurant with some gal, and they notice that his dog, Lugs, is outside the window. The gal says something like, "I thought you said he was guarding the station," and Hamish glances out the window to give Lugs a dirty look, only to find he's gone. I'm not telling it well, but it was such a funny, low-key joke. I'm very influenced by Beaton. Even my main sleuth's name, Angus MacGregor, is named after one of her very minor characters.Esri Allbrittenhttp://esriallbritten.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909013599663915418.post-69370704884592313942012-03-07T16:32:42.772-05:002012-03-07T16:32:42.772-05:00Mrs. MRM here...I had to laugh when I read your re...Mrs. MRM here...I had to laugh when I read your reference to Susie...I didn't remember the title, but I vividly remembered reading that scene.
