11/8: Have begun posting "A Small and Passing Thing", the sequel to "The Rebel". Alert reader Bob noticed that Meliloc Brandybuck was "Melilot" in the version of "Down and Out". Correction has now been made. Think what you like... either he's Melilot's twin brother, or there's a coincidence of names (as in "Merimac" and "Merimas"). It is important to get Meliloc straight as he will be appearing in "Solid Ground", a story to be posted sometime in the near future, I hope. If you happen to miss any mentions of Melilot where it ought to read "Meliloc" please drop me a line. It is more complicated because I am also using Melilot now as a character in several stories.
