Bones has a reason to support them, doesn't she? It's understandable. But if her dad got hired away (not likely, but you know, it's possible), then she'd give over to whatever side he started working for. At least, I think so. I didn't think anyone would like the Cannons without a dead good reason. That's just how people are, innit?

I've been looking through the book, yeah. I dunno if Professor Carpenter reads these, though, so if I were you I wouldn't say too much here. But yeah, I've just had a cuppa and I'm pretty sure I had a linden leaf. That's a protection, I think. Protection from evil? Attack? I dunno, I'd have to look it up.
