4.Repent: Actually, I just wanted to throw that in there because the word repent is a fine fine word. It starts off quite mildly but then rises into a hard hissed”p” and after that comes the hellfire and brimstone of the “ent”. If there isn’t spittle involved, if you aren’t a little flushed and sweaty, if your heart isn’t beating a lot faster after the utterance of the word, you’re doing it wrong.

5. Return: Monday, for an excellent interview with Jensen Whelan, Hobart (Web) editor.
