Oh! I see, now, very clearly. Never crossed my mind. I will clean up my act. If you are getting your whip out, it seems as though I must make a trip to ...you know where. Seriously, though, I did not realize this was an issue. I'm sorry.

ouch!

LOL both getting points for all the breaching going on in here. :)

More of a dramatic device than an omission of a word or thought. Kind of like a...hmmm...let's see... a kick under the table perhaps.

I should thank whoever is doing it. (To me...not to you.)

we were both hit

point for ellipsis. what word or unfinished thought was omitted? or was it a dramatic device?

lol. way to "breach" Gulch etiquette, Walter. you just outed my location. I'm getting the whip out. we should have broached the subject of locations with you earlier. ;)

Oh, I see. Not breaching the line between natural and supernatural, sure. Wonderful to hear you are Baja.

It's an ellipsis:
"Ellipsis is a series of dots that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word, sentence or whole section. Ellipses can also be used to indicate an unfinished thought.
The most common form of an ellipsis is a row of three periods or full stops (. . .) or a precomposed triple-dot glyph (…)."
Smart a double s.

lol, what's the pause ....for

I'll be sure to do...that, khalling.

no, I meant breached :). For me as a reader or watcher, I mean the concept breaking in not just bringing up. I am out of the country, so not sure-I assume on DVD from amazon-I am watching the series via Netflix. You'd like it, I think, some very sick killers.

"Broached," I think you mean, but the series sounds like one I would like a lot. I wonder if it will be available on DVD? Although if this is "Luther" as in Martin Luther, then I am surprised that a sensually smoldering woman is on the scene...

thanks for the Peikoff reference.
Lately, my husband and I have been watching a BBC series," Luther." It is a wonderful series. I cannot wait for the next episode. I have to tell you that the character Alice is sooo much like your Ashlyn in "O Human Child," that it kinda freaks me out a little. so far in the series, no super-natural topics are breached, but....

I knew of the case of long-term captives seized as girls, but did not research them. I had been editing a quarterly journal, "Cerebrum: The Dana Forum on Brain Science," for six years and we ran articles on almost all aspects of mind, brain, psychology, personality--including post-traumatic stress disorder not only among soliders after combat but rape victims, as well. This inspired some of my thinking about Caroline's behavior. And, of course, I was familiar with Stockholm Syndrome, where captives come to identify with their captors. I had read Hannah Arendt's account of how the Nazi concentration camp system broke down the human personality stage by stage (some of this Leonard Peikoff cited in his initial lectures, "Nazism and America: The Ominous Parallels," and this is what Caroline explicitly goes through in captivity. So a lot came together, here. I do not mean to suggest that later in the book there isn't some plain old erotic excitement at Caroline's behavior.

give a review after you finish

Thank you :)

did you research this case for LW? Noticed some parallels as well
