(Andrew, I will be curious to find out if Jack London was, as I heard, quite overweight and had not had any adventures at all, except for listening to stories of Alaska gold rush gang).<br />Getting back to the post:<br /><br />"Londonderry's propensity for telling tall tales and her uncanny ability to charm and influence people.
