\"Murder<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m Gethsemane.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cA nice Biblical name.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cGrandmother\u2019s idea. Father wanted to name us all after Nobel laureates. Mother just wanted the names to be pronounceable with no unnecessary apostrophes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(M)y career plans don\u2019t include a scorched earth policy. I want to leave on a high, not sneak away in shame like the Colts out of Baltimore.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe church has a poison garden? As in Arsenic and Old Lace poison?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cMore like Socrates. Arsenic\u2019s a metal.\u201d The cleric removed his cap and scratched his head. \u201cWe\u2019ve got foxglove, hemlock, belladonna, aconite, Jimson weed, oleander, some others.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll rephrase. Why does the church have a poison garden? Incentive to tithe?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Church hasn\u2019t been that severe since the Inquisition. Our garden\u2019s of historical interest. The nuns of the Sacred Society of Apothecaries had their abbey here in the fifteenth century. They planted the garden for medicinal purposes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
