I'll have you know that where_away is neither a bad username nor an unknown identity

*peers over coloured spectacles*
Maybe it's your identity that's bad or unknown? (you DO have a key to Sir Joseph's private chambers, that's highly suspect in itself...)

*harumphs*

Not I, I'll have you know. I don't even know what a key is.
*nods*

[sharpiefan]

Quite.

And just to confuse your mind even further - I've changed the name of my fic - there was another one posted only a few months back called 'In the Quiet of the Morning' and I draw the line at pinching other writer's titles! So it's now called 'Sleepers Awake'. Ah, if only the Bach could be translated as Sleepers Arise my life would have been perfect... ;D
