You know, I never thought about whether the medicine cured the guy's back (I suspect not though). I'm glad someone's rooting for Harold, the Dragons want him caught. He'll be there on Saturday, so your curiosity will be satisfied I hope.Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532506690426639326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254559936115487829.post-26752068002282862802009-09-24T18:56:19.323+01:002009-09-24T18:56:19.323+01:00I liked your stories.

I hope Harold and Teatime escape okay. I wonder if Agent Prada is going to cause them any trouble. She seems anxious to get in on the action. In the third story, the man had an interesting vision. It's too bad everything got stolen from him. The story leaves an important question unanswered though: Did it cure his backache?<br /><br />Stephen from Scottsdale, Arizona, USA<br />http://stephen-has-spoken.blogspot.com/Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652404381086061102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254559936115487829.post-72593535850908327712009-09-21T22:27:21.255+01:002009-09-21T22:27:21.255+01:00First off, many, many thanks to everyone who comme...First off, many, many thanks to everyone who commented here. Your kind words do much to cheer up my day.<br /><br />@DrJohn - Thanks, I'm attempting to learn from someone who has managed to keep a ripping good yarn going all these weeks. <br /><br />@DFTP - Thanks. I do appreciate the difficulty of reading stuff on-screen, but I'm afraid I do get carried away with the exhuberance of my own verbosity sometimes. See? I just did it again!<br /><br />@Raven - Apologies for the tough words. If it's any consolation, they were tough for me too and you seem to have handled them with your usual dexterity.<br /><br />@Fandango - I promise I'll try to ensure it doesn't drag-on too long next week.<br /><br />@Bug - Thanks! The annoying thing is I really did try to cut it down this week, but the dragons are VERY particular.<br /><br />@CJ - Thank you, glad you enjoyed the stories.<br /><br />@Watercats - I really look forward to you coming back to Wordzzle-town, I always loved your posts. In love with Harold? LOL, I'm sure he'd be pleased, just don't sign anything without reading it first :-)<br /><br /><br />@DawnTreader - Thanks, that means a lot, coming to me from another spinner of an excellent week-by-week tale.Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532506690426639326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254559936115487829.post-20945199812090387642009-09-21T20:10:12.656+01:002009-09-21T20:10:12.656+01:00I'm late reading and commenting but now I'...I'm late reading and commenting but now I'm here - and I can only agree what with others have already said.

I hope they catch Teatime and bind him so Harold can continue to be in wonderment at the human world!<br /><br />I love the non-talking fishermen. What a great ending.<br /><br />And learning not to take candy/liquids from strangers is an important lesson!
