Hmmm.... Well, Hortense and $ haven't seen each other for a loooong time - so you gotta get a Hortense or $ a reason for wishing to see each iother again...

>An italian did that once... But you may be able to find a great plot... (As far as I remember the Italian story, the nephew starts being VERY interested in his look - goes to the bathroom, ALL BY HIMSELF! His brothers are worried, and in the end, the nephew in love gets "normal"...)

>Yup - and that's a "dangerous" one, I think... A lot of people do't believe that $ actually died...
