There's no way these things are random. Himself spent at least a week marking up the sections to be cut at all costs!

From where I sit the evidence points to you being correct in your belief that someone, even if it is not our favorite celery thief, deliberately plotted the breaks. The breaks in the "see inside" feature are exactly where various plot lines are "expanded on." They are always in the same place regardless of which electronic device--laptop, desktop, I-pad, or smart phone--I use. :evil: Other people's experience may, and probably does vary. My experience is that pages 77, 80, 85, 96, 102, 106, 111, 117, and 123 are always breaks in the text. (There are probably more fixed breaks later but I am rationing myself on how much I read to what I think RFC/MWW would have revealed if he would have continued posting snippets. Fine writing like fine wine should be savored, not gulped down. :) )
Here is hoping that the rest enforced by she who must be obeyed will get our favorite word pusher back to writing form by next spring. :!:

Huh. Her son is "paralyzed and incapable of speach"? I wonder if we're going to see a sudden "miraculous" healing here....or perhaps a third Pica?

No material available for another PICA... What I am wondering at this point is how the crown is going to deal with the grandson who is a bit dumb and at this point guilty of nothing more than gross stupidity...

Assuming he survives, the solution will be to marry the idiot to a smart wife. Done properly, he'll be happy and fulfilled.
