One of the books I recall reading when I was a teenager was Booth Tarkington’s novel Seventeen. Whenever I write out the number, it becomes a mnemonic… a way that I remember the novel.

As usual, another chapter with some edits done on the fly. This time, we are covering Dan’s escape from the clutches of the Tucker County Sheriff.

A side note: I’ve known a sheriff or two in my time, as well as several sheriff’s deputies. Without exception, they are fine people who would never dream of involving themselves in some of the hijinks which appear in this and some other stories I have in process.
