What is that? a salad? Also, the old ambassador's weight as well as Cassie's seems to have been seriously reduced at the end. And could Deanna Diamond be the changed pimply Donny Dukes from page 65? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bruce Hayles — 02 Oct 2008, 06:02 in reply to Marc Aramini It's a salad dressing. Reis looked up. "I felt sure you'd order the green goddess." "I like ranch." "...Waitress, I want you to bring both dressings. A cup of each..." Cassie weight is severely reduced because she was on an island for months with barely enough to eat. Or are you referring to something else? > On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 1:53 AM, Marc Aramini wrote: > talk of the description of food in evil guest prompted one interesting > thing - at the end cassie says a certain food reminds her of when she was > the green goddess and on page 119 Reis says "I felt sure you would order the > green goddess." > > What is that? a salad?

Not a salad, but a salad dressing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_goddess_dressing Tasty, too. -- Tim Walters | The Doubtful Palace | http://doubtfulpalace.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fernando Q.

Perhaps it's a joke on US? Apparently he doesn't read the Urth list, but surely he knows how we go after the strangest and smallest things when we read his books.

I'd say they were an essential ingredient in a Render Unto Caesar salad dressing, myself. They give it its characteristic gold color.

They give it its characteristic gold color. Don't forget the soupcon of Romano (*not* Parmesan) on top of the Render Unto Caesar salad. . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stuart Hamm — 06 Oct 2008, 16:26 in reply to Matthew Keeley GW is an engineer don't forget.. I read an interview somewhere (?) where he said that he wrote one story (The Woman the Centaur Loved??) as kind of a challenge a friend had given him to see if he could blend 3 very different given elements into a story...maybe food was a chosen element to insert in AEG as he mapped it out .... ????

That's very reasonable, given the same-initial clues we have elsewhere. Also: 1) "In real life Donny Duke was small and swishy..." p. 53. The assassin is a "little bit of a thing." p. 256. 2) He drinks something green which is thick like toothpaste, appropriate for a Cthulhu cultist. p. 63,64. 3) He can "dance the paper off the wall, but he's not male" p. 136. 6) He played Seurat, who murdered Cassie's character Mildred Norcott in Act Two of "The Red Spot" p. 63. Wolfe often has pretense become reality. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
