If Mike were to accept the deal from Aceys Mother I think would find the Highway to Hell paved with anything but good intentions.

It is a sweet offer.

My Aceys mom doesn't want much does she. She might as well tell Mike "All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me"

I do like the description Acey gave of her mother and long hard workdays she put in working in the university, we get to see a more human side of her

It's a well crafted offer. Everything Mike wants.

Acey knows him well. She thinks an apology from Mike is a small price to pay for this heaping helping of worldly success.

We'll see if she can persuade Mike to take the offer.

I noticed that Mike was tying his tie. I thought they only allowed clip on ties in jail as a normal tie could be used as a noose by other inmates.

I think that's standard procedure. But Mike is there on a more informal basis as more of a guest to keep him safe from protesters. He's not a "real" prisoner, so he gets privileges like getting to have his clothes and books from home. We'll see a more extreme case of that as the story progresses.

I use it to indicate I think a post is clownish or stupid.
