    Did Ned have something to do with his sisters death? No, and she's not dead yet.

    May have been asked, but did Ned hate her husband? I have no reason to think he hated the husband. If you read over Morgaine's summary there is another emotion involved.

    Oops, somehow I didn't see this earlier. Must have been too early. :)

    Thanks. The last thing I remember thinking about before falling asleep is that I thought you'd do a recap. :)
    LOL.

    Great. I was pretty sure that would be the case. I think it's a pretty obscure site. I tried googling a bunch of the questions from the site and none of them came up, so I was thinking you probably hadn't seen this site. :)
    I already have plenty without going some place new. Although I do have some sites I haven't looked through much. But for the moment this at least leaves ones I don't know. (I've even thought about trying my hand at making something up myself - hmm.)

    If it's that hard, at least I might still have a chance at getting back to it before someone else comes in for the steal. Cause I probably can't be back until late evening. I figured some morning person would've solve it by now. :D

    But I did copy all the new stuff and plopped it on a flash drive to take to work, in case I get a break.

    Sorry, I was not paying attention when I used a different tense. As far as the emotion in the summary, I will go try and find it now. I skipped it since I read the whole thing until the end.

    Hmm, no more questions yet. Maybe I still have a shot at this. I actually got a break at work but it's almost over at this point.

    Adam, I kept using paste tense as well and when she tried to give me a hint about it, it went right over my head. And I still do it. It's easy to think she's already dead.

    Which leads to a question...

    Is it significant in any way that sis is not dead yet?

    Is Ned going to do something else significant while he's selling cars, such as with the cars themselves or something else at the car lot?

    Is he taking this job now, before his sister dies? Or waiting until afterwards? Or does it matter?

    Does Ned have any expectations that his sister might change her will before dying?

    Is there something Ned is planning to do that will somehow get him part/all of hubby's inheritance?

    That was a good set of questions. Now I know you'll get it soon. :p

    Well, it only tells me I'm on the right track, but I still don't know what. Unfortunately, unless yet another one of my students doesn't show up, I have to get back to work and can't even work on it until later.

    BUMMER!

    (And if anyone else solves it, could you at least do the white-font de-spoiler so we don't see it?)

    Hope you get back in time. Unky will probably be on later tonight, but Adam is gone for the day.

    No clue where I'm going with this but...

    Is he trying to find a way to kill hubby before sis dies?

    Is he going to steal anything?

    Next student is late so I'm still hanging in there...

    Going to take a crack at this...

    Ned wants to be on the car lot so that he has an 'excuse' to be able to drive the cars, i.e. borrow a car, so that he can run down hubby and kill him, so he can then have the entire enheritance.

    Hmm, that's hard to tell. I did the white font thing there.

    Response is in white.

    I'd say that's really close. The solution doesn't say he'll run him over, but he has a reason to drive one of the cars.

    Oh well, getting there. But now I have a student so can't think about until later when I get home.

    Arrg! So close. :rolleyes:

    So...

    Is he going to get hubby into one of the cars with him?
    Is he going to take one of the cars to their house?
    Is he going to get hubby to take a test drive?
