THE FRAME FARM


Well, you're not sure what "castigate" means, but its application to Grant sounds fitting. You pull a thesaurus off a shelf of books nearby and consider various synonyms for "scum."

Gregory frowns at you. If you have nothing good to say about his new father, you're no friend of his.

It seems to you that Greg is gearing up to launch another attack at you. You'd better act fast:

(1) Toss him a coin in the hopes that the bribe will pacify him and get you back in his good graces

(2) Make a dash for another part of the house

(3) Make a dash for the front door and leave the farm
