I'm not entirely certain what you're referring to by "chronology of the textev", Mark. As noted in my original post, the comment about not liking brandy (Yendi, 197) does after the scene in Taltos (Talktos, 14) where Vlad's tasting brandies, which prompted me to inquire whether it was ever mentioned how he came to dislike the drink. Was that the chronology you're seeking? ~M ===== Michelle "Black holes are where God divided by zero." __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
