WIP extract book 2 of 6 SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd Chapter 38 The Magic Spell “Those letters that were found in your antique chest,” says Conning, “they were all in completely authentic Manx. So with my level of knowledge, there was no way I was going to understand everything. The Colonel is fluent though, he told me they were 150 year old love letters between a marine and his wife and they were really sensitive. It wasn’t the love letter bit that was delicate, but apparently something about the operations of the Garrison!” “What did they say?” asks KristalClear, “did he give you any clues?” “No! It was a very short chat, he’s passed all the letters to CandiCrush. Originally we thought BillyBarr would get them for the library, but it seems that they won’t ever be made public.” “I suppose love letters should be private, even 150 year old ones!” A watercolour painting of an attractive young girl aged 17. She has beautiful long straight deep brown hair and her eyes are chestnut coloured. Her face has a gentle expression with a hint of a smile. She is wearing a plain white T shirt (and blue jeans out of shot). The image is labelled KristalClear (an animal lover, she is demi-psychic, but struggles with reading the minds of humans). A watercolour painting of an attractive young girl aged 17. She has gorgeous long medium ash brown hair and her eyes are dark chestnut brown. Her face has a picture perfect smile revealing lovely white teeth. She is wearing a powerful yellow crop top dance outfit over a curvaceous body. The image is labelled Conning (Manx, pronounced KonYing, meaning bunny). copyright © Scott Rochester 2026

KristalClear and NutJob have bought an old secondhand chest of drawers.
Even though they don’t yet have a home of their own!
It contains a secret
Written in #Manx
Conning is Manx. So is the Colonel.

SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd
Chapter 34
Examination Technique
“That sounds interesting,” says AngryBard, “tell me more.”
Kayt responds, “they’re black satin, and I want to know if you think they look nice on me.”
“They looked nice in the shop. I’m sure you’ll look gorgeous wearing them. And if you’re going to be all over me again tonight then please be gentle with me, I don’t want to be covered in bruises for a whole week, what if grandpa notices?”
“We’ll make sure he doesn’t notice. The only reason I’m all over you Bard is because I’m showing you what I want, you should be all over me. Isn’t it obvious by now?”
“It’s obvious! But it’s all very sudden, and it’s all very new to me, can’t we talk about things? I don’t know what I’m doing, but I do know that it’s important to talk about things … so that neither of us gets the wrong idea … nor has any unreasonable expectations.”
“What?”
“Kayt, you mean everything to me, you’re …”

AngryBard is visiting the Isle of Man. He's spent the whole day worrying that people can see the love bites on his neck.
The angsty couple are finding harmony, or something similar!

If anyone fancies learning #Welsh or #Gaelic, Glossika is a flashcard of phrases, free of charge for endangered languages. #Manx is also a free option but #Irish costs. It's hard work but a really effective way to learn our native tongues. You'll know real language without poring over grammar.

extract from book 2 of 6 SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd Chapter Chapter 38 The Magic Spell “I suppose love letters should be private, even 150 year old ones!” “Yes. though I have a one year old one from Max, remember? You’re the only other person who knows about it.” “That day we talked about the horoscopes,” says KristalClear, “you kept it?” “Have you never kept any old love letters?” “Only from Dash, I never kept any of the crappy ones from when I was younger! They were all cringe worthy. Why did you keep the one from Max? Doesn’t HayWire every write anything?” “He doesn’t need to! We’re practically living together already!” replies Conning. “but do you remember that day? We were discussing horoscopes for the first time. I kept a copy of that too!” Conning takes a newspaper cutting from her handbag. Libra Thrilling news awaits you, though it may raise anxiety levels at first. Sometimes the best things come from unexpected directions. Your determination and positive energy will help you make the most of a new opportunity. Played well, this may be a stepping stone to an explosive new development for you, or for somebody close to you. Keep your options open, and be mindful what you say. Fate rewards the brave. copyright © Scott Rochester 2026
I kept it because it said fate rewards the brave,” she says, “and it all made sense after I saw HayWire. He was the somebody close to me, even though I didn’t know it at the time” “Yes, it does seem to make sense to me now,” says KristalClear, “we all thought you were very brave cosying up to HayWire!” “He was brave too, in different ways. But my problem is the old letter from Max. It’s in my chest of drawers at home, it’s not in HayWire’s apartment. I have to destroy it before anybody sees it. What if mum found it?” “And you can’t let HayWire ever know about it!” “Obviously not! So I wanted to ask you to help me. I though a ceremonial burning, but I can’t have make a fire without having somebody on hand to make sure it’s all safe!” KristalClear - a watercolour painting of an attractive young girl aged 17.

A 150 year old love letter in Manx.
The Colonel is a native #Manx speaker, and the letters have delicate military details so are now in the hands of the Garrison.
The conversation moves on to recent events.

Ravens (Corvus corax) can often been seen in upland areas and the local Snaefell pair are particularly friendly. They regularly greet contractors with a 'cronk cronk' call, and occasionally engage in 'conversation' with a particular contractor 😊
The #Manx for raven is 'feeagh'.

Huge waves crash around slightly larger than life statues of The Bee Gees. The storm water pools around their bronze flares.
I hate climate change, but I love this picture by #Manx photographer, Peter Lobley.
The Bee Gees statues look as if they're emerging from the ocean to reclaim the land from the upstart human apes.

I'm 100% Celt and I write about the English, does that count?
