(gigglesnorts)<br/><br/>I have absolutely no trouble imagining the look on your face when you read that.  Or Ada's reaction to hearing his relationship  to Belle - or whatever the weird thing going on between them is - described in his hearing as a "partnership".  (gigglesnorts again)<br/><br/>And I agree, we need to wait.  So far we have been skating on the very powerful impression that Belle left in the common room - everybody knows what Ada and  Belle are doing and will be doing for some time. I imagine that Ada stands out in his self-imposed celibacy while on campaign.  Tongues will be wagging, much nudge -nudge-wink-wink will be going on.  And nobody will expect him to surface for air for quite a while.  Since Belle emphatically does not look like a dancer anymore, or even particularly female that will have to suffice.  That Bow Of Alister is hard to conceal, but one does what one can.<br/><br/>As to Belinda's ultimate trustworthiness and level of sanity, I have my own thoughts on what kind of person does what she does.  I will reveal these in due time.  Oh, one thing:  She is NOT a multiple personality.  Although Ada might well begin to think that she is possessed.
