<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Sam will show eventually.  He just needs a reason - and I may have one.  I just didn't want to out Jacqueline sooner as someone the family might be minorly familiar with just yet.  It kind of depends on how into the magic school they were - as well as various other factors.  Though I can tell you that Sam was well acquainted with all of their mothers.  :-)I'd intended to leave up to you guys how much they knew of him, and other things - as I don't like deciding whom another played character is acquainted with.  <br/><br/><em>~giggles~</em> Now as to <em>Memoirs</em> ...  Yes, the actor (the male lead, that is) made up for many of the inaccuracies of the film - not to mention those of the novel, but even still I can also vote <em>yes</em> on reading the book.  :-)  It's quite good even with the errors - which are really only such that a real scholar/ or older native Japanese person familiar with Maiko/Geiko would even catch*.<br/><br/>*Had a long conversation with a Japanese professor about the book.  :-)  <br/><br/>Recommendations sound yummy to me, also!</span>
