Oh you! Thank you! You have me wanting to post the second act, and I'm still scrambling to find quotes for 4 & 5, and add just a bit here and there...it will never be perfect, and I can always fix it later I suppose...

I'm running us through the gamut, I know. We're heavy on the angst at the beginning, but as is proper Act 3 starts the shift in tone and in the very beginning of Act 4 John thrashes the stuffing out of Hannibal - as his soldierly nature demands.
