Extract from Pursuit, by Thomas Perry

"...Slowly, Prescott discovered that [rodent exterminator] Beeman respected and sympathized with the mice. They were perfectly normal animals doing what animals did. They struggled for food, a warm, dry place, and safety. They had a good strategy: they shared a house with another, larger species that used it almost exclusively during daylight, so they used it mainly at night. The attributes of the larger species rendered it harmless to mice except for one quirk of evolution: the big, slow daylight creatures had Carl Beeman's phone number...."

Regards, Don

Don, Being cheap, I usually wait for paperback or for somebody to leave their copy on a pool chair while they make a bathroom run. That doesn't happen as often in the winter, even in Houston. <g>
