For those who don't know: the date of Canadian Thanksgiving has changed many times over the years. It was first in April, then in November, and wasn't in October until 1957.

“Humans will do anything for money. They will sell their left leg for the right price, or their children, or their family estates.”
Darren sighed.
“Did you really offer that horrid man a hundred gold?”
“I did.”
“Did you know that we had it to give away?”
“No.”
“Never tell your hateful cousin.”

He kissed her and loved her and craved her for her own sake. Never before had he held and kissed anyone like this and had no idea whether he was doing it right, but she melted into his embrace, answering his touch with kisses of gratefulness and longing.

Always be suspicious when someone who knows you well says, "You are the smartest person I know."
Do not be fooled into thinking that this is a compliment. Immediately turn round and ask them, "And how many people do you actually know?"
