Car shopping, day two

[eleneariel]

Well looky, looky! This is much more what I had in mind, frankly. It's a little older than the Focus but actually has less miles -- and also cheaper tags and insurance. It's once again the luxury version of the model, and has pretty much everything that the Focus does except, sadly, a sunroof. I test drove it, and it is good. It's much more the body style I prefer. The leather seats feel just like the ones in my old car, comfy.



Miss ruthette, your box arrived today! Thank you ever so much! I have quite a dilemma, however, in deciding which book to start first. Thank you for including Beowulf, I'm very excited about that one! (Which reminds me, have you read The Song of Roland?) I shall take excellent care of the babies and not read them in the bath, nor carry them with me and let them bang about in my copious purses, nor drip coffee on their pages.

Fiskar was, perhaps, not a man worthy of much thought. He had never read a book. He had never written a line worth reading.

Ooh! Purely for look's sake, I like this one better than the focus. :-)

You're going to read Beowulf, eh? Have you read it before? We had to read that as well as The Song of Roland for Western Civ. I.

Ha, me too. :)

I've read parts of Beowulf, but never the whole thing straight through -- the copy ruthette has loaned me looks like an absolutely excellent translation and very enjoyable. Song of Roland I've been half way through for about six months, but I'll get it done eventually. A friend of mine is writing a novel based on it. :)
