Oops. Apparently I'm not as infallible as I thought I was. *g*

Oh, right. Momentary slip. Victoria was probably too busy flirting with the
poor private who was there to notice. :-) Sorry.

I *did* mention that, though I didn't specifically bring up the dynamite
(*sigh* at least we don't have a trigger-happy Russian anarchist in our

Thanks for the clarifications, Daniel.

G'night all!
