The Adventures of Dod

"I think part of me has already fallen asleep--not because of your stories, they're wonderful.  I just have--ah--a problem with my legs." 

 "I wouldn't quit the Coosings!  Sawb really stretched when he appointed me last year--my family, you know; we're not chauss or toting gold."

"My goodness, son!  The word's not Dossum!" 

 "Yes, that's very true--The Dread--my goodness, I hate thinking of The Dread."

"I do....I keep all of the rules that need keeping!" 

 "...my aunt is always saying that a woman's first right is to change her mind as many times as she wants, and a man's first duty is to accept it."

"No worries, honey.  I can keep up with you if you help me." 

 "It's the best in all of us, the grand dream, the lingering hope of what my family trusts can one day become everyone's inheritance."

"Sorry about Pap...I liked him."

"...I could have died.  Some dosippitous corranus handled my riggings today." 

"Please, please, please be alive."

"I thought we had an agreement!  Didn't you sign with your knife?" 

 "Justice needs to be served, and I'm more than ready to dish it out!"

"As you can all see, I'm a fortunate man indeed..." 

"Quiet as a mouse.  What would he have been shouting about?" 

"We mostly think about tragedy in terms of what has happened, not what could have happened." 

"I mean--boingy-boing--you single-handedly caught The Dread.  Why would you suddenly turn foul on us?  How stupid can they be?" 

"Everyone deserves a second chance...everyone." 

"Tooshi-wanna, Tooshi-wanna." 

"I don't imagine he'll be here to bother you tonight....He's out watching again."
