	Well, the bitch certainly doesn't have a problem
with expressing how she really feels. Given that she feels
really psychotic, though, I would prefer it were she a meek
little thing...

	I have the Pattern back now, though, and it helps a
lot. It seems neurotic to miss it the way I did, but...

	The Pattern is the difference between an Amberite
and a Shadow-dweller. It's what makes us hard to escape
from, hard to catch, and otherwise more than just the
biggest bully on the block.
	Without it, there's much less point being all the
other things I am. There are, by definition, an infinite
number of really good people out there in Shadow. The
importance of being good, to me, is that I'm in a position
to be more obviously good, and to do more about people who
aren't good.
	Now I'm in that position again. I don't know that
I'm going to do anything in particular about it yet- it will
bear thinking by those specializing in such things- but I'm
back. I'll be seeing you, Sand. And you better hope I don't
see you first.
