Oh, wonderful! I'm looking forwards to more - does anyone have a good typing for Esk, by the way?
: Death series.
: DEATH. A skeleton with a scythe in a black robe. Speaks in capitals. THERE IS NO JUSTICE. THERE
: IS ONLY ME. Rides a white horse called Binky.
: Although he was a One in the first book (he hated people who missed appointments), he rapidly
: became more philosophical, more tolerant of and puzzled by human foibles, and more prepared to
: stretch rules. He has a tendency to leave his job unannounced and go off where nobody can find him.
: A Five.
There's a lovely quote from Mort which struck a chord with me, spoken by Death's adopted daughter, Ysabell:
Mort: "Perhaps he felt sorry for you?"
Ysabell: "He never feels anything. I don't mean that nastily, you understand. It's just that he's got nothing to feel with, no whatd'youcallits, no glands. He probably _thought_ sorry for me."
