and that 's all he was doing , corinne realized .

the intensity grows inside me like a cyclone picking up steam , and i slam into her , one powerful blow after another , and , suddenly , i 'm feeling greedy as hell once again .

he shakes his head .

`` leave us alone , '' said door .

`` great , '' i reply .

`` phil and i have talked things over .

`` who says he wo n't get bored after a week and go and find one of his floozies to warm his bed ? ''

a young woman , clad in only a shift of thin white cloth , sat upon the stone throne , chains binding her wrists and ankles .

`` i should understand who 's involved in our children 's lives , mike , '' she stated and he studied her , with effort forcing down his rising anger .

before anything else could happen , captain kaille and jas , just off their carriage , tread upon the scene .

franz 's permission-to-speak blinker is guttering like a candle with a moth stuck in it .

and his face lights up .

take over , mr. ramsey .

she took a breath in her interrogation , and i mumbled , `` harsh , '' at her assessment of me , regardless of how correct she was .

it might take a night or two more for him to become as smooth and perfect as he had been , but he would look just as before , despite a week of torture .

`` your majesty , may i have a private word with you ? ''

The climate of ancient Rome varied throughout the existence of that civilization. In the first half of the 1st millennium BC the climate of Italy was more humid and cool than now and the presently arid south saw more precipitation. The northern regions were situated in the temperate climate zone, while the rest of Italy was in the subtropics, having a warm and mild climate. During the annual melt of the mountain snow even small rivers would overflow, swamping the terrain (Tuscany and the Pontine Marshes were deemed impassable in antiquity). The existence of Roman civilization (including the Eastern Roman Empire) spanned three climatological periods: Early Subatlantic (900 BC–175 AD), Mid-Subatlantic (175–750) and Late Subatlantic (since 750). The written, archaeological and natural-scientific proxy evidence independently but consistently shows that during the period of the Roman Empire's maximum expansion and final crisis, the climate underwent changes. The Empire's greatest extent under Trajan coincided with the Roman climatic optimum. The climate change occurred at different rates, from apparent near stasis during the early Empire to rapid fluctuations during the late Empire. Still, there is some controversy in the notion of a generally moister period in the eastern Mediterranean in AD–600 AD due to conflicting publications. Stable climate Throughout the entire Roman Kingdom and the Republic there was the so-called Subatlantic period, in which the Greek and Etruscan city-states also developed. It was characterized by cool summers and mild, rainy winters. At the same time there were a number of drastic winters, including the complete freezing of the Tiber in 398 BC, 396 BC, 271 BC and 177 BC. In subsequent centuries the reports of occasional harsh winters became associated with flooding rather than ice on the Tiber. Evidence for a cooler Mediterranean climate in 600 BC–100 BC comes from remains of ancient harbors at Naples and in the Adriatic which are located about one meter below current water level. Edward Gibbon, citing ancient sources, thought that the Rhine and the Danube were frequently frozen, facilitating the invasion of barbarian armies into the Empire "over a vast and solid bridge of ice". Suggesting colder climate, Gibbon also contended that during Caesar's time reindeer were commonly found in the forests of modern Poland and Germany, whereas in his time reindeer were not observed south of the Baltic. During the reign of Augustus the climate became warmer and the aridity in North Africa persisted. The biotopes of Heterogaster urticae, which in Roman times occurred farther north than in the 1950s, suggest that in the early Empire mean July temperatures were at least 1 °C above those of the mid-20th-century. Pliny the Younger wrote that wine and olives were cultivated in more northerly parts of Italy than in the previous centuries, as did Saserna in the last century BC (both father and son). Winds A comparison of modern wind roses with the situation in the 1st century AD shows some differences: in that time northern inflows in winter were quite rare. The typical northwest winds which regularly blew in July are presently non-existent. The sea breeze began a month earlier, in April. Vitruvius mentioned moisture-carrying winds blowing from the south or west which could damage books. There is also evidence indicating that in the Roman period the Mediterranean climate was influenced by low frequency fluctuations in sea level pressure over the North Atlantic, called the Centennial North Atlantic Oscillation (CNAO). Precipitation During the First Punic War, the Mediterranean coast saw such powerful storms that the Roman fleet was destroyed twice (in 255 BC and 249 BC). This was followed by drought in Italy in 226 BC, which lasted six months. In December of 170 BC there was a blood rain in Rome. Written sources from about 75 BC to AD also emphasize moisture, mainly in the form of the Tiber floods in Rome. Large Tiber floods occurred in 5 (lasted seven days), 15, 36, 51, 69, 79 and 97 AD. Starting from the Roman annexation of Egypt in 30 BC and until 155 AD favorable floods occurred more frequently in the Nile. The winter of 69/70 AD was the driest known to Tacitus when he wrote his Histories around 100 AD; exactly at the same time the dry season persisted in the Americas. Dry conditions returned during the reign of Hadrian. In Timgad – on Hadrian's visit to that city in 133 rain fell for the first time in five years. Some parts of the empire, however, saw better precipitation. A weather diary, compiled by Ptolemy in Alexandria in around 120, mentioned rain in every month except August and thunder throughout the summer. It helps to explain the agricultural prosperity of Roman Africa (the granary of Rome), and the prosperity of southern Spain in the Roman era. According to Rhoads Murphey, the total yearly grain supply from North Africa to Rome, "estimated as enough to feed about 350,000 people, is by no means impossible to produce for export under present conditions". Columella's weather calendar suggests that summer precipitation in southern Italy, particularly in Rome and Campania, occurred more often than now. Unusually high precipitation levels were in Roman Spain during the so-called Iberian–Roman Humid Period. Roman Spain experienced three major phases: the most humid interval in 550–190 BC, an arid interval in 190 BC–150 AD and another humid period in 150–350. In 134 BC the army of Scipio Aemilianus in Spain had to march at night due to extreme heat, when some of its horses and mules died of thirst (even though earlier, in 181 BC, heavy spring rains prevented the Celtiberians from relieving the Roman siege of Contrebia). Through the 2nd century AD warm temperatures dominated particularly in the Austrian Alps, punctuated by further cool spells from to 180. After about 200 the temperatures fluctuated, trending toward cool. Environmental issues and climate change According to Sheldon Judson, in the 2nd century BC the rate of soil erosion in Latium increased ten times, which is associated with the increased number of settlements in south Etruria. Additionally, from the foundation of Rome until possibly 165 AD, the Romans deforested huge areas for arable land. In 61 AD Seneca the Younger described the high level of air pollution in Rome, which was associated with the extensive wood burning for fuel. From to there was a period of cooling, which affected the northwestern provinces of the Empire. Dendrochronology indicates that severe drought which began in 338 and persisted until 377 forced the nomadic pastoral federation of Huns to seek pastures and predation farther to the west and south. Their attacks north of the Black Sea drove the Goths to flee into the Roman Empire and ultimately to attack it (particularly in the Battle of Adrianople). Increased climate variability from to 600 coincided with the decline of the Western Roman Empire. For the Eastern Roman Empire there is evidence for a regional prolonged drought in modern central Turkey in –540 AD.

if a bug could look disappointed this one would .

regret that i would lose him , that he would never again grace my bed .

i tried calling again but he still was n't picking up .

`` i hope you 're right . ''

`` no sir .

taking him by the hand , she led him to her bed and pushed him down on the mattress .

*** they silently followed the track on horseback , secily riding with trayn .

`` yes , they were arguing , but i was well aware even if you were n't that they like each other , '' mercy insisted .

but i was too much of a coward to face him right away .

how are you possibly here in the room with me , i thought that wasnt possible ?

i would not puke .

`` it 's fine . ''

as they pulled out of the hotel parking lot , she glanced down main street with the quaint shops , the bustling diner , her old apartment and the mountain pass bar and grill that dillon colter owned .
