Leland- a neat way to wrape a first chapter- 100 pages-right on the mark....I had the feeling I was watching a Laurel & Hardy movie here (but I couldn't quite make out who was Laurel- and who Hardy was supposed to be...) A younger comic fan might see a "Dumb and Dumber" connect to this story line- I always liked the silent comedy films when they were funny enough to carry it off without sound- since the two guys are bedding down for ths night nexy few pages- think I'll give it a rest for awhile (the supense is killing me- I can't stand too much of this at one time- the ol' ticker ain't wat it used to be)
