Just to be clear about the post above this one (as I realized upon reflection how bad it sounds), I'm not actually disappointed. I'm loving the bit of rivalry between Solomon and Cora, and your post was excellent. :)

I think we just hit a spot of bad timing and posted almost simultaneously, so you weren't in the frame of mind to include Cora's entrance in the rest of your post. I apologize if the disappointment remark felt degrading. It wasn't intended that way (sometimes my sarcasm runs away with me if I don't keep it on a short leash).
