I thought I was done, but then this little bunny hopped into the room and demanded I do something about it.

So, here you go - one more drabble, pinned to the presentation board.



Elaborate


By preference, Bodie carries a Browning. He could sign out any other gun, but this is the one he wants. He explains to Doyle that the Browning has history. When Belgium was overrun in 1940, the Germans began manufacturing the gun for their own army. Belgian workmen sabotaged production lines and smuggled the plans to Canada…

Doyle pretends to fall asleep.

Bodie finishes his story anyway, because he knows Doyle is still listening. And because when Doyle’s eyes are closed, Bodie can look as much as he likes.

“You’re a romantic,” says Doyle, later.

“You have no idea,” replies Bodie.

That's brilliant! And complete within so little lines. Fresh & crisp.
As for the gun, is the gun the Germans were producing than from these constructions the gun that was called Luger (whereas the one that was produced from the smuggled plans was called Browning)? I'm not sure but I think that was a gun invented in those time... probably I got it all wrong. Have to do recherche if I want to keep myself as fit as Bodie in gun history, I suppose.

Ah ok, thank you for the information, really looks like it would make a good movie indeed. Whirlpool Aplliances - I think I've seen their advertising spots all during the US open matches (I love seeing tennis, so much psychologic strength is needed to win there) there I am again in Belgium with Justine Henin as the winner...
Thanks again!
