Harriet said, re Kasabi's drinking habits:
Pimms is OK, because there's enough thrown into it (chiefly the fruit salad) to disguise the original vile taste, but I can't really see the Earth rebels mixing it while on the run. At the Academy, perhaps... I do think of it as a donnish sort of drink.
At that point in time, she's a teacher in a fancy boarding school, not a rebel on the run.
Um, well, there are rather a lot of things in the Executrix universe which I didn't really expect to have survived.
I figure that, although they may not be As We Know Them, Jim, but there will be objects that serve similar functions to, e.g., trams, chips, and cigarettes so they might as well be called that.
