the sam and mary 'thing' is a tempting hindsight..
tho' in 'post' it did not happen..
i reckon that sam has made alliances, albeit vague..but alliances still..
she has on many occassions defended herself..
again..albeit vague..
i wonder why? quietness disturbs some folks..
are? some just a tad too impatient to see what grows..
i'd rather watch a budding-plant than a nettle that's right up in my face..
