 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 The Talisman
The Alhambra. This is where Lily and Phil came for two weeks,when they heard that Lily won her award. This was where she spent the happiest two weeks of her life, and where little Jacky was conceived.
The Territories. The Territories is a medival place, and they speak another language there, that you speak automatically.
Speedy . Although Lester 'Speedy' Parker is far from fast, that's his nickname.
Smokey Updike . Smokey Updike always has a white paper cook's hat perched on his head at a precarious angle.
Lori. Lori seems to like being slapped around by Smokey, because whenever he hits her, she always gets this expression, like this is the way things are supposed to be.
Morgan of Orris. Morgan of Orris is in body shape, nothing like Morgan Sloat. Morgan of Orris is skinny, and has a clubbed foot. Morgan Sloat is a somewhat large man, with perfectly normal feet.
Captain Farren. Captain Farren drags Jack around, yelling at him for not washing all the flagstones as a coverup to get Jack in to see the queen.
right here and now. He also said 'Wolf!' a lot, but i think that was supposed to be some sort of bark or something.
Sunlight Home. The motto for the Sunlight Home was something like 'Put a little Sunlight in your soul.'
Ferd Janklow. When Wolf and Jack later flip into the Territories in the bathroom at the home, they flip into one of Morgan of Orris's pits, where people are slaves of horrible gargoyle type things, and Jack sees Ferd.
Osmond. These two are far more similar than Morgan Sloat and Morgan of Orris. They both have that dancing craziness about them.
Thayer. Etheridge is one of the older boys that attend Thayer, Durmstrangs is from Harry Potter, and Clinton is my school.
Seabrook Island Stuff. As kids, they used to go to a place called Seabrook Island, and that was where they used to play their pretend games. That's why Richard calls stuff that should be pretend 'Seabrook Island Stuff.'
Jason. To the people of the Territories, Jason is like Jesus. They use his name as a blessing, or as a blasphemy. Jason died when Jack almost died. Jack was almost smothered as a baby in his crib by a pillow wielded by Morgan. We can only guess the Jason died much the same way. The only reason that Jack lived was because he was discovered quickly, and Phil Sawyer performed CPR.
Rushton. Rushton wandered into a small lake by his house as his parents were fooling around. He drowned in the Territories, but he too was also saved in the regular world by the marvels of modern technlogy.
The Agincourt. The hotel was pretty much alive, and did whatever it could to keep Jack from getting the Talisman. But of course, it failed.
Another Wolf. This Wolf was Jack's Wolf's litter brother.
Run Through the Jungle. 'Good tune, Jack! Heavy! Wolf! God-pounding heavy tune!'
Queen of the Bs . This is because all the films she did were 'B-Rated' films.

The daydreams. Jack believes his glimpses of the territories are daydreams.
Parkus. When Jack meets Captain Farren, Jack calls his friend Speedy Parker. Captain Farren speaks of a brown man known as Parkus.
Lily and Laura. Very easy if you read this recently!
