think i mentioned this during the first read but Dixon in all his splendor
reminds me of the Captain Morgan rum fella (though he has blue breeches and
not all red)
I do have to thank Mr Dixon for helping me meet my better half who is a
Quaker and whom I met a few years after M&D. was an easy ice-breaker for
me. hey did you know kinda thing. it was fun

is it belaboring the point but are we Americans in our soul some sort of
composite of sad morose Mason and frisky freak Dixon?
