Part 0 - Introduction

 

"Greetings to ye, one and all. I'm Molly O'Toole, and me and me darling husband, Shamus, run the Eerie Saloon, which some of ye, I'm thinking, may have heard of."

"Ellie Dauber and Chris Leeson told some of the story in "Tales of the Eerie Saloon: High Noon" and "Jessie Hanks: Outlaw Queen". If ye ain't familiar with them two stories, ye might want t'be going back and reading them now before ye start on this new one. I warn ye, though; neither of them is short.

"This new tale begins right at the end of September 1871 with Jessie's trial, which is the close of the second story. It goes on t'be telling what happened to the six ladies, and a whole bunch of other people right up t'the splendid New Year's Eve party me and Shamus threw at our saloon.

"Chris and Ellie've been working on this tale a long time, and there's a lot more, too. This story will be going on till the end of June when -- well, ye'll find that out in this part of the tale.

"They hope ye like the story, and they invite ye t'be telling them by posting yuir own comments about it. Ye can even make guesses on what happens after. I'll not be telling ye, but I will say that not everything's plotted out next, and ideas from yuir comments _might_ just show up in the story.

"One more thing.

"Ye may have noticed that I don't exactly speak the Queen's English. Some of the other folks in this story don't neither, so don't be expecting it. And don't bother t'be commenting on the grammar. Ellie and Chris let us all talk the way we really do, not the way some grammar book said we should."

"Anyway, on with the story, and we all hope ye like it."
