As for the last installment, the betrayals and revealed secrets and danger are not quite over.<br /><br />BornStoryTeller :<br />My Renaissance has some corners you should only visit with Sam, Victor, and Alice! Week Four ends with a flourish and a promise of a new quest.<br /><br />Deniz :<br />Yeah, I am a romantic at heart. As is Victor ... which puts it in danger of being on the menu for Alice!<br /><br />Three times Alice comes close to feasting on Victor in THE LEGEND OF VICTOR STANDISH. But when did young love ever run smoothly! LOL.Roland D.

Now, you've given Victor a swell head. <br /><br />He's going around muttering in the worst Val Kilmer accent heard by the living or the undead, "I'm your huckleberry." <br /><br />Sam merely chuckles doing an excellent one, "It's just life."<br /><br />Wasn't TOMBSTONE a great film?

Doesn't he refer to her as a devil at one point in the film? Anyhow..I thought you may get a kick out of hearing how your story looks in the 'film version' playing in my mind.

She has rubbed shoulders with the like of Abraham Lincoln, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Dr. Josef Mengele, Al Capone.<br /><br />In the finale, we see the one person who is talked of in McCord's world but never seen.Roland D.
