Instigate--1. bring about by incitement or persuasion; provoke 2. to urge on; incite (a person, etc)

:D Ya may as well wear the shoe, it fits! :cool: (perfectly) :D
 
No, no don't leave! Stay here and let's discuss Lolita all over again. We can forget the previous 150 pages of posts (except post 1981, the year of my birth, which is a post that took me about two hours to compile) and begin again.

What did you think of the couch scene then?

Come on, please, start this again. Ah, those were the TBF days huh.

(Also, Peder, Pontalba, Still, etc, my exams are finished! I am now able to catch up with our Sebastian and the others, so which to go for first?)
 
Steffee! I bet you are glad that chore is over!! Happy Days!
Ah now, hmmm, Sebastian is next, but you never know, Lolita may just have something left...;) Ya suppose anyone else wants to play? :D

Hi Steffee,
Good to hear from you again, and I hope you did very well!
When raffaellabella comes back and we all stand in a big circle maybe we can make a wish and get her to stay. I have the coffee and French crullers ready. :) Nobody has ever turned one of them down!
As for catching up. If you are a fast reader you can maybe catch up with SIL, and then maybe Breaca can catch up with you both in reading Sebastian Knight. And then maybe the tooth fairly will come.... and ..... and .... :)
Who knows, we might even open a thread!? And have a real good talk-around on the mystery of the black mask that SIL was asking about. (I myself hadn't noticed it, so I'll just ask questions. :rolleyes: Or else just sit and sip coffee, and nod sagely, as Pontalba explains. :cool: )
All sorts of possibilities, :)
Peder
 
I'm really enjoying Laughter in the Dark;)

Oh wow, you have keen eyes! That Sebastian hasn't shown up yet. We have another no-name narrator however, so far. But there is a girl, Iris by name. So all is not dull.

I am glad you reminded me -- I would have thought it was my computer. :eek: But oy, just thinking of it, now I have a headache! :(

Thanks for the reminder. How long will it be for? I forget. I just spent all morning trying to figure out how to return a Canon cartridge for recycling, and I would have wasted yet another morning trying to get Toshiba to fix my laptop! Or I mgiht have decided that I was banned for some silly infraction or other. :D

Headaches can be caused by caffeine deficiency, or so I have heard. :D

I think its just for the weekend. Darren posted something about it recently.

Evidently not All Weekend, just partially. :(
 
I'm intrigued at the vast readership of this novel and have added it to my large Amazon book wishlist. :D
