Comments on 'Margie ends and Frida begins.'"I've got about a million." Margie said.
"That's a shame", the impostor replied, "because we have time for one."
"Why me?"
"We gave you the code breaking job as a test, to see how much you told people. Every single person who worked there was assigned an allied spy who was to court them and protect them from bombing raids. To find out who would really keep mum and to provide an excuse for you to all learn German. The five of you who actually managed to keep the secrets we threatened with death. You still refused to betray your country, your colleagues did not. We need people like you Margie, even more than we need people like me."
"So, Roger never really loved me? He was just acting on orders?"
"I'm afraid we really only had time for one question Frida. We are surfacing, it is time to serve your country. You and Dieter will disembark shortly."
Frida couldn't believe this was really happening to her.2008-04-16T01:31:11Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/27650Comment on Margie ends and Frida begins.<p>Very fun interaction between the two, if that sounds right. Solid stuff, all very much in character. And I used to live in Germany, but I only remember gummi bears. It was a long time ago. I’m still kind of bitter about not remembering it.<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/27650?basename=567692008-04-16T01:31:11ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477Comment on Margie ends and Frida begins.<p>Hurrah, I’d already spotted that one and fixed it before I read this. Don’t worry about it, I enjoy being corrected, how else will I learn? I’d rather people read it and pointed it out than just read it and kept quiet.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/27650?basename=566612008-04-15T20:03:24ZRussell Ruffinohttp://ficlets.com/authors/ruffinoComment on Margie ends and Frida begins.<p>One more correction: 4th indentation, second line, there’s an “o” hanging all by its lonesome. I think you meant to write “to.” <br />Please forgive me for being a pesky editor! :p</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/27650?basename=566592008-04-15T20:01:07ZAna Cristinahttp://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78Comment on Margie ends and Frida begins.<p>The word “because” is misspelled” in your second line, and I agree with <strong>uselessness</strong>, the transition from Margie to her new identity, “Frida,” is extraordinary (confession: when I read the title I half worried Margie’s number was up!).<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/27650?basename=566562008-04-15T19:53:38ZAna Cristinahttp://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78Comment on Margie ends and Frida begins.<p>I love how the first sentence refers to her as Margie and the last sentence refers to her as Frida. Excellent transition! I’ve never left the United States, personally, but someday I’m going to see the world and I’ve heard so many great things about rural Germany that I just have to see it for myself. :-)<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/27650?basename=566322008-04-15T18:16:05Zuselessnesshttp://ficlets.com/authors/uselessnessComment on Margie ends and Frida begins.<p>I have visited Germany but I didn’t like it, although I may go to Berlin for a weekend sometime this year, see if I just had a bad experience. My sister lives in Austria and I much prefer it there. If you get the chance you should go up to Poland and visit Aushwitz, it’s harrowing but it’s somewhere I think everyone should visit.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/27650?basename=566252008-04-15T17:37:57ZRussell Ruffinohttp://ficlets.com/authors/ruffinoComment on Margie ends and Frida begins.<p>Really great sequel, I’ll have to read the whole series. Now that I actually live in Germany, I find the country’s history even more fascinating than before. And to see it depicted in such a creative way is a nice change from the textbook standard.<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/27650?basename=566202008-04-15T17:33:45ZSaint Chuckhttp://ficlets.com/authors/chuck_thelove
