More comments (for what *they're* worth)

The door was opened by a very serious-looking man
in a dark suit and sunglasses.  Why he was wearing sunglasses in the gloom of
the early evening was lost on Nouma.

Perhaps he's related to Leon McNichol? ;)

"Shampoo-san."  Nouma bowed to her once again, slightly.  Talk about ageless;
Shampoo looked as beautiful as when he had last seen her ten years ago, and 
back then everyone had said she still looked the same as she did when she was
sixteen.  In her case, it *was* genetics and conditioning; the Amazons were 
known for their longevity, and Shampoo kept herself fit and trim. 

That, or her curse involved a *young* cat   (well, you said it worked that
way for Ranma....)


(yes, I know she got rid of it)

"...and then, after I've your mother as happy as possible, I'll take Ranma and
marry him in her stead.

Are you missing a word before 'mother' ?
