Bad Machinery by John Allison for September 21, 2021

Time for the armistice mystery to commence.

Finally! Lottie don’t looks happy for that, but the war was kinda stupid. Poor Sonny, he understood everything, but the coupable is too nice and no one believes him.

In his own country, Sonny, a prophet …

Why is it “very wrong” for first cousins Mildred and Sonny to be besties? Now, if they had been the ones to have “kissed each other 100 times at least”, then that would have been very wrong. After all, Tackleford is not Dogpatch or Hootin’ Holler.

Geese are mean and nasty. My kids are still afraid of them, and they’re in their 20s now.

Allotments? Is that some sort of British thing?

Shawna doesn’t look so happy about being reminded of the 100 kisses.

And Colm and Claire are an item, too.

Starting fires is usually a sign of a disturbed individual. Colm should carefully back out.

I don’t know if Sonny suspected Claire before she “thaw thome hoodlumth running away towardth Wendlefield”, but the side eye he’s giving her there definitely shows he wasn’t buying her story.

Hmmm, are there any greenflieth around?
