V is for volumes of family history, which Barnabas had plenty of to offer to share with Vicki

S is for sphygmomanometer. Julia was so good that she could use one without a stethoscope. [9391]

Heh, heh!  I've used a sphygmomanometer by itself in a pinch to detect the systolic pressure by feeling for the return of the brachial pulse, so that could be what Julia was up to.  I know, who cares?  :)

X is for eXonerate, which Peter was on Barnabas' return to 1796, and which 1840 Quentin was, and which Vicky was not. ;D

X is for eXonerate

Um, I don't know if we should resort to using letters that can appear anywhere in a word - that would make things much too easy. I suppose we can let it slide this one time (ONLY because the pronunciation of the first syllable of the word and the letter itself sound exactly the same  ;)), but let's stick to only using words that begin with a certain letter.

Z is for Zeitgeist-- DS reflects the Zeitgeist of the 60s.

LOL. I don't remember her feeling for a pulse, but what I remember most vividly about the incident is my mother (also a nurse) having a cow about it.  ;D

B is for brandy.   Using it in a sentence: "Kitten, I'm not drunk yet.  What happened?   Are we out of brandy?"

Speaking of Grayson, C is for Constance Collins.
