Especially when the main aim of that training was to make me som ething I'd once vowed never to become-a guardian for the Director ate of Other Races. Becoming a guardian might have been inevitab le, and I might have accepted it on some levels, but that didn't mean I had to be happy about the whole process. Guardians were f ar more than just the specialized cops most humans thought them t o be-they were judge, jury, and executioners. None of this legal crap the human cops were forced to put up with. Of course, the pe ople in front of a guardian's metaphoric bullet were generally ou t-of-control psychos who totally deserved to die, but stalking th e night with the aim of ending their undead lives still wasn't so mething that had reached my to-do list. Even if my wolf soul so metimes hungered to hunt more than I might wish to acknowledge. But if there was one thing worse than going through all the train ing that was involved in becoming a guardian, then it was trainin g with my brother. I couldn't con him. Couldn't flirt or flash a bit of flesh to make him forget his train of thought. Couldn't mo an that I'd had enough and that I couldn't go on, because he wasn 't just my brother, but my twin. He knew exactly what I could an d couldn't do, because he could feel it. We mightn't share the te lepathy of twins, but we knew when the other was hurting or in tr ouble. And right now, Rhoan was fully aware of the fact that I w as trying to pike. And he knew why. I had a hot date with an eve n hotter werewolf. In precisely one hour. If I left now, I coul d get home and clean up before Kellen-the hot date in question-ca me by to pick me up. Any later, and he'd see me as the beaten-up scruff I usually was these days. Isn't Liander cooking you a roa st this evening? I said, casually waving the wooden baton I'd bee n given but had yet to use. Mainly because I didn't want to hit m y brother. He, however, didn't have the same problem, and the br uises littering my body proved it. But then, he didn't really wa nt me to be doing this. Didn't want me on the mission drawing ine xorably closer. Yes. He continued to circle me, his pace as casu al as his expression. I wasn't fooled. Couldn't be, when I could feel the tension in his body almost as well as I could feel it in mine. But he has no intention of putting it on unt.

I was there to water Susan's plants, but I've always ha d a key. Each of the guys in the band would have one, and other f riends, too. Across from Alice, Police Detective Honey jotted som ething on a pad. When he moved his hand, Alice read, upside down, ? keys out. She said, Once on the subway I overheard a guy with a suitcase say to someone else, 'Richie knows a place where we ca n sleep. He's got a key.' I didn't know any Richie, but I can't s ay I was surprised when the guy on the subway turned up at Susan' s apartment a day or so later, and let himself in. He wasn't a ba d kid. I mean, he came to Manhattan to take management trainee jo b with RCA, but nobody knew him, and he did have a key. Detecti ve Honey looked at her attentively, but didn't write anything dow n. In the years Alice had lived in New York, she had never actual ly spoken to a New York cop. Although reassured by his wide, blan d face, she wondered if he was on the take. She coughed into her hand, which was trembling, and went on as if with a psychiatrist. It took a long time for the implications of that to faze Denny a nd Susan, and by that time everyone had a key. Then they talked a bout changing the locks, but it was a lot of money and trouble, a nd anyway, Denny was afraid of seeming hostile. Detective Honey g rimaced and shook his head. Alice said, I thought it was stupid, too. You were watering the plants, Miss Ellis? Mrs. I was sup posed to. I told Susan I would come every three days, even if the , uh, men were around, because she didn't really trust them to ke ep everything watered. Maybe you saw that she has beautiful plant s. Thinking of the plants made her think of Denny and Craig. She winced. Detective Honey said, And Miss Gabriel is where? In the A dirondacks. She should be home tomorrow night. In the Adirondac ks in May? She usually goes at odd times of the year. There's a cabin she rents, and it's too expensive in the summer. Have yo u accompanied her to this cabin? No one has. It doesn't even ha ve a telephone, and you have to hike in about three miles. Anyway , she hasn't ever really invited anyone. I think s.

"Perhaps the most piquant and original of Monnier's albums" MONNIER, Henry. Les Grisettes Leurs Moeurs, leurs Habitudes, leurs bonnes Qualités, leurs Préjugés, leurs Erreurs, leurs Faiblesses, & C. Dessinés d'après Nature au sein de leurs plaisirs, de leurs occupations, &c &c. par Henry Monnier. Paris: Giraldon Bovinet, 1828. First edition. Quarto (11 3/8 x 8 1/2 inches; 288 x 215 mm.). Lithograph title-page and 42 hand-colored lithograph plates. Bound ca. 1830 in half maroon calf over marbled boards ruled in gilt, marbled endpapers. Publishers printed front brown wrapper and plain rear wrapper bound in. Excessively rare complete. From the celebrated collection of R. Descamps-Scrive with his blue morocco bookplate on front endpaper. On the first blank, the oval stamp of Regency of H.R.H. Mgr. the Duke of Orleans, during the Minority of Louis XV. King of France. "This is perhaps the most piquant and original of Monnier's albums. The grisette, an impressionable girl of the working class, was virtually his discovery. In the words of his title he "drew after nature" through these forty-two small lithographs, "their manners, their habits, their good qualities, their mistakes, their weaknesses," and so on. His scenes which include only two or three figures, typically show these appealing creatures at odds with their followers, but likely to get their way. The inventiveness of his designs and the persuasiveness of his captions are unfailing." (Ray No. 133). A grisette (sometimes spelled grizette) has referred to a French working-class woman from the late 17th century and remained in common use through the Belle Époque era, albeit with some modifications to its meaning. It derives from gris (French for grey), and refers to the cheap grey fabric of the dresses these women originally wore. The 1694 edition of the Dictionnaire de l'Académie française described a grisette as simply "a woman of lowly condition". By the 1835 edition of the dictionary, her status had risen somewhat. She was described as: a young working woman who is coquettish and flirtatious.
