Yet some rascally readers repress the romance as they try to       twist the story into thirty-six year old Henry grooming six year old       Clare.        This perverted plot premise requires omission of how twenty year old       year old Clare initially stalks twenty-eight year Henry at Newberry       Library when the Catholic soulmates first meet.               "Thou doth Protestant too much, methinks."              --       Don.......My cat's )\._.,--....,'``. veritas _|_       telltale tall tail /, _.. \ _\ (`._ ,. liberabit |       tells tall tales.. `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.' vos |              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
