[QUOTE="KenHood, post: 4653207, member: 4413"] Palindrome winces at the mention of the mongoose incident, especially as it occurred around the time of Doddoddod's dubious interest in the sport of ferret-legging--and the mongoose appeared inside Doddoddod's robes--and *someone* (meaning Palindrome) had to retrieve the mongoose. [Hmm. Replace the word 'winces' with 'vomits in the back of his throat'.] The wizard stuffs a potion bottle in his vest. [COLOR="Gray"]"Nooo,"[/COLOR] Palindrome says.
