'Come here,' said Turnbull, 'till you see the sadness
In the horse's eyes,
If you had such big hooves under you there'd be sadness
In your eyes too.'
It was clear that he understood so well the sadness
In the horse's eyes,
And had pondered it so long that in the end he'd plunged
Into the horse's mind.
I looked at the horse to see the sadness
Obvious in its eyes,
And saw Turnbull's eyes looking in my direction
From the horse's head.
I looked at Turnbull one last time
And saw on his face
Outsize eyes that were dumb with sadness –
The horse's eyes.

it's been a while since the last picture I uploaded haha and it seems like I do really love to take a picture of Henry without his top on >.<
in these passed months, I have try so hard to change his hairstyle from his signature fur hair to a normal heat-resistance because I've found it very troublesome when wearing it with black clothes..... (especially when your doll clothes are mostly in BLACK !)
a lot of wig styles have been tried on him, but they doesn't fit him at all...... *cry*

Françoise is our interviewer, of course!
Françoise: What is your name?
Victor: Victor Chamberlain.
Françoise: What is your nationality or ethnicity?
Victor: Typical American bastard.
Françoise: When were you born, and how old are you?
Victor: I was born in Boston 24 years ago.
Françoise: What is your race?
Victor: Um? Human? Human would be my species...
Françoise: Are you single or taken? Who is your lover/crush?
Victor: I am single. I can’t tell you who I’m in love with, you’d tell everyone!
Françoise: That’s not true! I can keep a secret.
Victor: Famous last words.
Françoise: I bet it’s Vala!
Victor: No way! I’m scared of her.
Françoise: Are you straight, gay, bi, trans?
Victor: Straight.
Françoise: Favorite hobby?
Victor: Drinking, reading. I like to draw a little.
Françoise: You do?! I’ve never seen your drawings!
Victor: I’m sure you have. They’re all over the club…
Françoise: The wine labels?
Victor: Shhh.
Françoise: You should make your own wine, with a pretty label. That’s how to sell wine nowadays.
Françoise: Anyway, what is your favorite food and drink?
Victor: My favorite drink is fake red wine, and my favorite food is real red wine.
Françoise: That doesn’t count! A real food.
Victor: Then I’ll be very Boston and say lobster.
Françoise: That is a silly answer. Lobster just tastes like butter.
Victor: You are a terrible French person with no palate whatsoever.
Françoise: That is not true! It’s American cooking that is the problem. I was not a vegetarian before we came to America.
Françoise: Do you have a job?
Victor: If I do, the IRS doesn’t know about it...
Françoise: What is your favorite animal?
Victor: Cats. Lazy ones only. My favorite everythings are lazy.
Françoise: What is your bad habit?
Victor: I still smoke sometimes, trying to quit though.
Françoise: What's your favorite hangout?
Victor: I don’t know, can I say your house?
Françoise: It doesn’t feel like work to babysit our house?
Victor: It’s nice being here. Much cleaner than my house, much nicer smelling than the club. Very homey.
Françoise: Do you have a favorite holiday?
Victor: When I was a kid, my mom’s family always had a picnic at Memorial day, and we’d go to the beach. It’s a sad occasion for a holiday, but the beach always feels that way, half sad and half relaxing.
Imaginary Outside Interviewer: Dolls (from other families) you'd like to meet?
Victor giving away all the hints: Byouyuuken’s Thisbe is very pretty.
Françoise: Would you briefly tell your background?
Victor: My mom came to Boston for college, on a scholarship. She started an affair with a married professor. And then she had me. My father was a very wealthy and refined man, but he cared for me only to mold me into a copy of himself, and he made no bones about the fact that he wanted my mother and me to be a secret. I learned a lot from him, because I was determined to take from him everything I could. When my mother died… it was a difficult time. I’m grateful that Leo found a place for me in his organization. He’s been more of a family to me than my own family. You and Vala too.
The Mac Switcher has just left a cut of gons in the siding and is now pulling ahead with their FBOX for Newberg. They will grab the balance of the train and take it a few more miles north before continuing on with the boxcar.
A CN train working the yard in Effingham, Illinois, has backed up as far north as the Amtrak station and await a signal at the diamonds with the CSX St. Louis Line to go back into the yard.
Our drive for the best pie in the land brought us to Redwing, at the Pottery Place Historic Center. Just outside the center in the parking lot, are the remains of what could have been the kiln - probably best to keep it away from the main warehouse. I suspect further that this switch was for powering the fans.
