Grace?
Saving Grace? Does Grace want to be saved?
But does Grace really need saving? According to …?
I’m a bit puzzled George … Does Grace appear before the end?
Hmmm … Grace as a spirit? Now there is an interesting idea.

Wonder if he’d consider an elephant. I hear there are a couple of elephants moving from Toronto to … Los Angeles. Pink? Oh no, Grey … One even has tusks. Real live elephants.
Well I think the elephants are still alive. Depends. Well … Guess it depends on Canada’s military if I recall the article in Macleans magazine. According to Mrs. Black. … Well I actually think of her as Lady Black, lovely lady lady I imagine … Being married to Mr. Black must have affected her, I have no doubt. Almost transformed her into a Lady Grey I might venture … I do hope Lord and Lady Black get to see our Rock opera … Like rock operas … Well yes … that too.

How many nots do you require, George? Loves me loves me not … Loves me loves me not … No George we’ve never met as far as I recall. Well, just because, George. Besides have you never heard the expression “all the world loves a lover” yes I do agree … It sounds like a song.

Verify what I am saying? Is that what you said, George? You would need to verify it … To see the actual amount of money that retired people are expected to live on? Good luck George! Didn’t you know! That is why we have Privacy Laws here in Canada. That way, nobody can lodge a complaint because nobody can actually verify the truth of anything anymore. Ask whom? Do you honestly believe the dear old soul from La Mancha is going to admit that she made all the wrong choices … That her political party wasted all those years spinning invisible yarn that melted away after each election? That the laws she supported would eventually strangle her in red tape?

Her age? You want to know how old Grace is when she is saved?

That’s a start George … So many posibilities
Wrinkles? Nothing wrong with a few wrinkles, George … Shows character … Of course we have heroes who are willing to help out Grace as she moves beyond the flush of youth.
A happy ending? Certainly I want a happy ending to my story.
Why? Why not? What is wrong with happy endings? What is wrong with saving Grace?
What is wrong with having a hero or two? Three or four even?
Which reminds me, do you suppose Brian Boru would look good in Red Serge?
Impossible?
Nothing is impossible with Grace.
