• Part I: Beginnings.

After reading the 'Mothers and Fathers' part and the whole history of Ferdie Fontenot, with that little paragraph about Mary Lee's fourth marriage to Edmond Fontenot, I have to say that I no longer think some of the family trees in fiction/fantasy are complicated.

Deceives thee. ’Tis the lot of all our race

The life departs. Then like a dream the soul
Flies off, and flits about from place to place.'

• If he were insane, however, his was a very cool and collected insanity.
• "...but stale details often regain a degree of freshness when they pass through new lips."

• "Please?" Ruth asked and that one word sounded like it cost her something. She'd always been human barbed wire, tough and sharp. Catching this rare wisp of vulnerability in her voice meant I would've done anything she asked.
• "Like all devils, he has one hell of a God complex and can't resist playing the hero."
