Re: "R.A.MacAvory's "Damiyano" NOT A SPOILER"  from Sonia Schwartzberg

First of all, the author's name is spelled 'MacAvoy'.  Also, I the novel
is called 'Damiano'.

Second: I refer to your statement, "[Tea With the Black Dragon] was not
without its flaws, but these flaws were fairly easy for me to overlook
..."

Well, yes, I suppose that non-existent flaws WOULD be easy to overlook
... Seriously, I would be most gratified if you would elaborate upon the
flaws that you found with TWTBD.  I personally found the book flawless,
but it is entirely possible that I've missed something.  And I care
enough about the book and the author to hear anyone's opinion, for or
against.

In answer to the title request:

The story is IN THE BONE by Poul Anderson.  I have it in an old IF magazine,
and it is in one of his collections.  Pretty good story.  I was surprise after reading
the story that Poul Anderson had written it.  It has some of the flavor of his
AFTER DOOMSDAY.  I wish Anderson would write a few more short stories set
in the "Flandry" era.
