Good guess! It comes from Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book and means (according to that book) "let's go hunt".

Pick it up at lunch, do it... Then you have it and you don't have to wait any longer.

Ooooh, my copy of Rite has arrived.  Should I drive over to the bookstore to pick it up at lunch or wait 'til the weekend?

Merci Cyan ;)

Learning a language is not easy, I notice wath you say about Dutch!

Hah! You think French is hard to learn? Try learning Dutch! Your language is at least mostly regular and logical... ;) (Even though I only speak a smattering of it.)

I was unfortunately not able to order a copy of Rite, and so can't get it now do to limited supplies, or so I would guess. Its a shame too, I was really looking forward to all the new additions to Tad's earlier worlds, and to get a glimpse of other bits as well. What's the chance of it being republished again in the future, do you think?

Really? Thanks for the heads-up, I don't know why I got that information wrong.

Oy, that's a hard question. I'd have to think about it and reread first.

Hello young man!

Welcome to the salty haven of Shadowmarch.
Have you seen a sailor called Black Dog ?
...
So you come from Dunkerque-Port with a bag full of songs ?
I am Long John Silver *AHEM*, I mean Long-Time-No-French-Friends-Here-Earthmanu...

I came to this jolly harbour five years ago, following the glyph at the end of the Fourth-Book-That-Is-Seventh-And-Eighth.
Did you follow the same path or have you seen the beacon that I put a few months ago on the site www.aafdp.com  (based in Meurthe-et-Moselle) ?

Do you know that there is an Unofficial French Club of Tad William's Fans that needs new energy ?
AAARGH, I see that your feet are already on the way to the many-gifted land of Germany...

Résumé en français: Salut Yves, c'est chouette de voir un vrai fan français de Tad débarquer ici.

Summary: Welcome Yves, it is nice to see a true french fan of Tad coming here.

LUNAR!!!

Your book is FINALLY the right country. Send me a pm with your adress and I'll send it.

Neat!

Yalahii.

Out of curiosity, have you got it for the book or because it is clearly a genuine collectors piece (not like the special collectors edition DVDs, only 25,000 made I hasten to add)?

I must admit that's why I got my first edition of Taliban's hour (sic), thought I'd continue the ridicule of my previous typo (not brain failure) when I meant Caliban.  I was hoping to get it signed when Tad came over with Shadowplay, but that didn't happen so I'll wait.

Happy reading!

Yalahii.
