Chapter 10 of Apostolic Way, Lionsgate, just went up.  It is HUGE, but as the first part of it is a re-tread of Under Cover, I did not split it. 

Links to information on owl hearing are here, here, and a cool video here:

The discussion of convergent evolution here and here.

I did a lot of google fu regarding what Indians of the state of Gujarat eat for breakfast and have links to many, many recipes for handvo and theplas as well as soap rationing, maps in the UK in 1942, what to do with your garden in October in the UK, and the growing of runner beans on wigwams. There are some things I couldn't nail down and so just inserted them, like the assumption that Russell House is of fairly recent construction and so has advanced, indoor plumbing, gas rationing for zoo personnel, and other things.

Gerald Durrell's biography is here, among other places.

Again a huge thanks to Clio and Miniver who both helped enormously in the development of Jill -- Clio with research regarding her background in Jamaica and Miniver who over a year ago mentioned the possibility of Jill as Afro-Caribbean.

So happy to see another chapter from you! You did a great job of showing Jill's initial insecurities about going to stay at Russell House and then having her fit right in with the whole crew. Thanks, and looking forward to the next one!

And could you give us some interaction between Peter and Russell household? Till now it was happening behind our backs and we don't know how they perceive Peter - being biased after a talk they had with Asim (Crossroads part 3).
