BLACKWOOD FARM CHAPTER 34
Sep. 6th, 2017 12:19 amDarcy passed away on Saturday night, due to the same illness that took Dodger and Topaz. I was pretty sure this was coming, hence why I posted his pictures most recently.
Normally I really like to be with them—that was what upset me a lot with Dodger passing while I was on vacation—but Darcy always wanted to be wild and didn’t want to bond with me as much as his cagemates, so I think this is how he would have wanted it, which makes me feel better. Also I spent a lot of time yesterday earlier cuddling with him before he passed and despite usually wanting to be a wild ratty, he did snuggle and brux (rat purring) so I guess he did know I loved him. And I fed him yogurt too!
Next will probably be Amethyst or Phoebe, as they are elderly ladies :C I hope to show off Phoebe before that but I don't have my laptop with her pictures right now.
Anyway, on to the spork!
BLACKWOOD FARM CHAPTER 34
Quinn gets home. AQ and Nash are making plans for Europe. Quinn asks if Tommy can go too, says he can have him here in an hour with his birth certificate and all his clothes. AQ gives it "instant and deep thought" which is a phrase I like, then replies "Is he worthy of such a trip, Tarquin?" WHICH IS A PHRASE I DON'T LIKE
WORTHY OF---?!
WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THIS like how are we NOT meant to see Quinn and his family as obnoxious snobs?
Quinn gushes about how "worthy" is just the right word, and how AQ will love him and if she doesn't they'll just get a nanny and AQ agrees. Quinn asks for some more "petty cash" in case Terry Sue doesn't want Tommy to go. AQ, shocked, says "You mean she'd sell the boy!" to which Quinn, admittedly generously, says it's just to "sweeten deal" and that "Terry Sue is merely the practical mother of six hungry kids" though he also does call it a "ransom"
Quinn gets the money and on the way he and Goblin have the usual talk about Goblin being afraid to go to Europe. Quinn promises to hold his hand and that he will sit next to him on the plane. He then runs back to the manor to ask Aunt Queen to buy an extra first-class ticket for Goblin. Aunt Queen says she wouldn't dream of putting him in coach and what kind of aunt does Quinn think she is?
...I love Aunt Queen. She's very authenticly an old Southern grande dame to me, in both good and bad ways, even if Rice seems unaware that the bad ways are bad.
