    Probably 'en masse' is right. Thanks!

    Impressive. I though the ending was a bit too fast compared to the slow pace of the rest of the story, but otherwise it is very good.

    I see. I tried to build it that way: A very general introduction, slowly increasing the strain as he crosses the lines, then when the strain has reached its max there is the unpredictable turn and an abrupt end. I think the story would be boring if I went on with long descriptions.

    By the way: I read that this story has a true core. The message is that thankfulness is a very strong motivation. Sometimes it can save your freedom and your live

    you mean it has an ultimately optimistic theme? even a cold-blooded killer can sometimes be motivated to share lunch with an enemy instead of killing him. I agree, it's nicely different from a Schwarzenegger-type mercilessly terminating everyone, eg.

    A very suprising and touching end. Bloody Irish! Giving away the king's food to the enemy!


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
