The Klansmen won't accept her and the Righteous have disowned her.<br /><br />On the other hand, she is now in an unassailable position.

The fact that Ms Millar has added this one in for good measure in her <i>first</i> attack on Miss Snuffy, rather than holding it in reserve for a later one, is indeed a measure of the desperate straits which the Righteous now know they are in.<br /><br />Long may it continue. I shall greatly enjoy watching their inevitable demise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
