Hi David,

On the subject of Mousse challenging Shampoo...

Ehn.  The law is phrased so as to apply to outsiders.  Mousse's
behavior in the main line indicates strongly that he doesn't qualify
for that route to marrying Shampoo.

I have a suggestion.  Perhaps when this Mousse went away he was
exploiting some other rule about how a male can become an outsider which
requires exile for six years.

Now he hopes to force Shampoo into marriage

Ahh... good point.  I was originally operating under the assumption that
there were other laws that applied to Amazon men that were similar.  This
idea gives me another plot point to work in that I hadn't originally
considered.
