    Wow, Ben and Jack are going to get along like a house on fire, I can tell. Only less with the running and screaming, more with the arguing about who left the stove on and who didn't make sure the insurance was up-to-date until somebody gets bonked with a burning beam.

      Though in Ben's case he seems to enjoy messing with them..!

    I'm not sure I'd get along well with someone like Wolfe in real life, but I do enjoy reading about those big, loveable, boisterous characters. ^^

      Probably because stereotypical Australians sound a lot like various sorts of lower class Brits (and Irish)... I mean, a significant portion of the early settlers here were the very refuse of Anglo-Irish society.

    A buggerup? Oh yeah, in the States we just call it a '$%$% up' if not a 'Total %#$& up!'

      Means pretty much the same thing

    So basically, they want them to track down spell botches and.... do something. Seems harmless enough.

    Was rereading this chapter and realized that while Ben says "this" Wolfe says "we" and I kinda love that.

      There's something so charming and sincere about it. Like "yeah, I know what you actually mean, but we're all in the same boat, so I'm not gonna get offended"
