Chapter 11, Page 6 Fairies?

I honestly don't know now if that's what they meant when they said they were fairies. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's not.

Mary, however, has, like I did, jumped to the conclusion that they must be in a play. She's got Shakespeare on the brain right now, so it's kinda justified.

Speaking of which, I just picked up a 1999 adaptation of that play from the library. Hope they did a good job with it. Adaptations of Shakespeare plays seem to be highly variable in quality.

Oh, and Mary is on her way to her first driving class. That was probably about as clear as mud from the context.

I kid you not, my Dad actually said this. Most of you will probably get the over-sized pocket watch reference. The one about red points might not be so obvious to those of you not familiar with Celtic mythology. Basically, white animals, particularly those with red points, were thought to hail from the fairy realm. At the very least they were considered to be quite exceptional. The Tain and Mabinogion are both good references for such stories.
