Capítulo 1-O Lorde das Trevas de Cobre (Crysalia and The Prism of Power)

*~Depois de todos os acontecimentos passados...~*

Rei Silvennio: Ok. Temos tudo de que precisamos?

Diamantria, a Bruxa: Sim. Temos todos os pedaços do Minério Mágico de Atlanta. A Safira Gloriosa, o Rubi Encantador, a Esmeralda Cavaleiro e o...

Rei Silvennio: E o Cristal Líder. Já entendi. Não precisa ditar o nome de todas as partes do Minério, Diamantria.

Diamantria, a Bruxa: Bem, continuando... como está no nosso plano, com o Minério Mágico desfazemos o selo que prende o Lorde das Trevas de Cobre, assim fazendo que ele conceda nossos desejos, e aí...

Rei Silvennio: Tomamos o Prisma do Poder e viramos os governantes do universo. Certo, certo, já sei disso! Ok, vamos começar.

*Diamantria coloca todos os 4 pedaços do Minério Mágico de Atlanta em um círculo com um diamante desenhado com giz vermelho no meio e começa a recitar um cântico sombrio.*

Diamantria, a Bruxa: *四石は、私に来ます！四石は、同様に参加します！鉱石はちょうど私のために、表示され、魔法に見えます！*

*Uau! Numa força incrível, as 4 partes do Minério se juntam para criar...*

*O Minério Mágico de Atlanta, a chave para o selo do Lorde!*

Rei Silvennio: ÓTIMO!! Estamos prontos para chamar o Lorde das Trevas de Cobre, o Lendário Destruidor Mineral! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!

Diamantria, a Bruxa: Rei, já que estás tão felicitado, irei dar-lhe as honras.

*E então, o Rei Silvennio foi até as Cavernas das Cataratas do Ninfo, onde descansava o Lorde das Trevas de Cobre.*

 Rei Silvennio: Diamantria, sua vez.

*Então, Diamantria recitou o seguinte cântico:*

Diamantria, a Bruxa: *伝説の鉱石、偉大であり、聖母は戻って長い、それが一度密封したものを持って来ます！*

*Quando Diamantria terminou, um grande monstro de cobre surgiu na frente deles!*

*Era o Lorde!!*

Lorde das Trevas de Cobre: EU SOU O MAJESTOSO LORDE! MEU INVOCADOR, DIGA TEUS DESEJOS!

Rei Silvennio: Esmague-a. \*aponta pra Diamantria\*

Diamantria, a Bruxa: O que? Mais eu pensei que- \*esmagada e morta\*

Rei Silvennio: Ótimo, vamos caminhando. ANDE!

Lorde das Trevas de Cobre: CERTO!

Tarry Awhile (book)

"Tarry Awhile" is the eleventh book in the Beany Malone series.

From Image Cascade:

Beany is in love with Carl and they are engaged to be married, however, they must wait a year and nine months for their wedding so that Carlton may graduate from college. Beany becomes envious of her friends as she watches Dulcie plan a flamboyant wedding and Kay returns to Denver with her new husband, Joe. When Kay and Joe move into the cozy apartment over the Malone garage, Beany becomes even more jealous and expresses her complaints to Carl. Beany's pressuring discontent creates problems for the couple.
Beany and the Beckoning Road (book)

"Beany and the Beckoning Road" is the fourth book in the Beany Malone series, published in 1952.

From Image Cascade:

Beany and the Beckoning Road (1952). Beany believes that she has lost Norbett to another girl: Cynthia. She and Johnny plan to drive from Denver to California to return their nephew to his parents and advertise for passengers to share the travel expenses. What a surprise for Beany when she discovers that one of the passengers is Cynthia. What will happen to a mismatched set of passengers with very little money and a tomato plant in the back seat?
Rosellen Kern

Rosellen Kern was the younger sister of Beany's onetime boyfriend, Andy, and she was also a friend of Beany's. She walked with crutches due to polio and could not fulfill her dream of attending Harkness High School with the gang due to its lack of accessibility. (Weber's books were written well before the Americans With Disabilities Act!)

Her death after a winter fall in "A Bright Star Falls" is one of the saddest moments in the Beany Malone series. Brother Andy, furious at the Marines for not giving him leave in time for him to come back while she was still alive (he believed he alone could somehow coax her to survive), goes AWOL and takes out his anger working as a lumberjack for a while, but eventually returns to the world of his family and friends.

From Image Cascade:

With a warm and giving heart, Rosellen was the soft spot in the hearts of both her brother Andy as well as the tough Captain Kern (her father). Her tinkling laughter and beaming, smiling face lit up any room. Beany thoughts on Rosellen: "...She was fifteen and she seemed both younger and older. She had both the young delight of a child of five, the sober gravity of a woman of fifty."
Kombray

## Summary

A typical monarchy, the fate of this nation changed when Emperor Jandar Feng was replaced by a **Rakshasa** 150 years ago. He almost completed a ritual to transform the entire nation in a demiplane of **Gehenna**. He and the ritual were stopped by the **Wizlocks**, but the demonic influence is still present across the nation, and population has reduced dramatically from fleeing citizens.

## Inhabitants

Mostly Humans but a large population of the residences have been corrupted or outright transformed by the ritual years ago. Though no new transformations or demonic summoning have occurred, the numbers of the demons and devils present in the nation have only slowly gone down over time. Very few of the locals want to risk fighting them, instead opting to avoid or flee them. Though relative safety has returned to the majority of the nation, a few areas of the nation still have large concentrations of demonic forces.

## Government

A monarchy run by the Feng dynasty, their reputation was ruined by the actions of Emperor Jandar Feng, despite the fact that he wasn't responsible, but a **Rakshasa** replaced him. A movement by a large chunk of the remaining population is moving to be rid of the monarchy, but no real organization has been seen so the monarchy persists.

## Notable People

* **Emperor Yen Feng** - current ruler of Kombray, his family's rule over the nation weakened after actions of his great uncle Emperor Jandar Feng
* **Levmar Tellcastle** - former member of the Righteous Vanguard, he has organized various fighters and adventurers to help slowly thin out the population of demons and devils in the nation

## Notable Locations

* Wethril - houses the dictatorship and political machinations of the government of Kombray
Mary Malone

Mary Malone is the mother of Beany (Catherine Cecilia), Johnny, Elizabeth and Mary Fred Malone, and was the first wife of Martie Malone.

Very little is known about Mary Malone. Although she obviously meant a great deal to Martie and her children, her loss isn't dwelled upon in the book. Here's what we do know:

**Her name and age**
Her first name is given as Mary, so it's probably safe to assume Mary Fred was named for her. No middle or maiden name is given, and no family members other than Martie and the kids are mentioned. In "Meet the Malones," Beany says their mother would be 39 if she was alive, so she died at age 36, meaning she had Beany at age 26, Johnny at 24, Mary Fred at 23, and Elizabeth at about 21.

**She wed early**
Martie and Mary wed while he was still at the University of Denver. He reported stories for the Denver Call newspaper during the day and went to class at night, it's revealed in "Tarry Awhile." But when Beany tries to use their marriage in favor of young marriage, Martie says, "I was 22 and your mother was 21, and I had a job as police reporter and took classes at night. We lived in that big room over the garage and rented the house because that first year, we needed the rent money more than we did the nine rooms. I had my degree and a raise by the time our first baby was born." Beany notes that he's saying that Mary, unlike Beany's friend Kay Maffley Collins, didn't work her husband's way through school. So we can assume Mary didn't work once they wed and became pregnant quickly. No word on if she attended college at all.

**Her children were young when she died**
In "Meet the Malones," Mary Malone has been dead three years, meaning Beany, her youngest, was 10 when she lost her mother. Mary Fred would've been 13 when Mary died, and Johnny, 12. If Elizabeth is 18 in the first book (need to check), she would have been 15. We don't know what Mary died of.

**She loved gardening**
In "Beany Malone," we learn that Mary Malone was an "enthusiastic" gardener. In this book, Beany is 16 and Mary has been dead 5 years. Still, each spring brings "glad and surprising remembrances of her" as the flowers she planted, bloom, including "flowering almond where they thought bridal wreath held sway," or "a few little crocuses pushing up in an unexpected corner." "And each time, it was like an extra warm smile from her," Weber writes.

**She went by 'Mother'**
She's referred to by Mary Fred in "Meet the Malones" as "Mother," not "Mom," "Mama" or anything else.

**She had plans for Beany's bedroom**
Before she died, she told Mary Fred that the family "*must* do over Beany's room," realizing that her youngest daughter was growing up, and her tiny nursery room, decorated with a border of rabbits tending flowers, was too immature for a growing girl.

**She once lived above the Malone garage**
In "Tarry Awhile," the Malones fix up the level above their garage as an apartment for Kay and Joe Collins. Here's where we are reminded that Martie and Mary once lived there for a winter. Martie had to lug coal and wood up the stairs to heat it, and remarks that he was glad when they moved into the big house with automatic heat.
Povros Riverspring

The "Godfather" of Erevan Siannodel. He was a traveler and sailor that eventually fell into league with pirates sailing out of the port city of Talal. When Erevan came to him, he took him under his wing and taught him everything he knows.

Their relationship faultered when Povros lead a mutiny against Obar Treetopple on the **Feral Gnoll**. He included Erevan in his plans and let him know he planned to swear allegiance to the Pirate King after taking the ship.

Povros failed in his mutiny because in the end, Erevan turned on him and stood by Obar Treetopple. He was spared at the insistence of Erevan but was then left stranded on the nearest island port.

Sheila McBride

### Who?

Irish cousin of the Malone family. Initially misunderstood, eventually appreciated. Major character in "Leave It to Beany." Her weight issues are handled in a way readers of today would consider clumsy, to say the least.

### Beany meets Sheila

The following excerpt is Beany's initial introduction to Sheila. After much anticipation for the welcoming of a lonely, frightened, shy, love-hungry girl from Ireland, Beany was thrown for a loop-and did not camouflage her feelings well:

" . . .anyone so short and stocky should never wear a dress which fitted snugly and with a drape effect at the side. The dress was blue (basement blue, Mary Fred always called that shade of bright, deep blue). And the boxy, short coat over the dress should have been worn with a pencil-slim skirt. But it was her hair, her black hair done up in a mass of little sausage curls, that made Beany sum her up and dismiss her as gruesome.' "

"There was no wistfulness, no lonely ache in those eyes that Beany had been so sure would be blue or gray like the mists over Ireland. There was only defiance that seemed to proclaim, "I don't care whether you like me or not."

"But you, you aren't Sheila McBride, are you?" Beany gasped.

"Yes," the voice said shortly. That one word was in itself proof that the speaker had come from Ireland. It was "yiss" as though it had two, maybe three 's's on it.

Beany fought desperately to recover her poise, to re-shift her mental images. But each look made her heart sink deeper. It wasn't only the blue dress (But oh, those blue glass earrings!) Maybe Uncle Matthew had bought her that dress, thinking sequins were pretty.(But oh, those sausage curls!) Yes, maybe some clerk had sold Uncle Matthew that dress and Sheila hadn't wanted to hurt his feelings (But oh, those wabbly, spike-heeled pumps!)"

Ultimately, Sheila comes to Beany's aid as she is laden with the care of a baby (whom Beany mistakenly takes into the Malone home). ". . . And then she found that Sheila was shaking her and saying, "Leave off your crying, Beany! And did I say I wouldn't be going home with you and caring for the wee one here. Aye, and I can be fixing trays and cosseting the owl one when his mind goes dark."

Why had Beany ever thought Sheila McBride's voice was harsh and clipped and flat. It seemed to Beany, as she blew her nose and dabbed at her eyes, that she had never heard words with such chiding, caressing gentleness as 'Leave off your crying, Beany.'

And Johnny himself would find lilting poetry in her, "and cosseting the owl one when his mind goes dark. . .'"
Eve Baxter

Eve Baxter was the Dear Abby of the Denver Morning Call, the newspaper for which Martie Malone worked. Beany had a part-time job typing up Eve's answers to reader letters, which landed her in hot water in at least one book. A casual remark of Eve's had Beany pinning her hopes on a journalism job after high school. When that never materialized, Beany was at first devastated, but realized later that community-center work was more for her. Eve Baxter had a maid, Araminta.

From Image Cascade:

The following is the first description of Eve Baxter upon Beany's first meeting: "Eve Baxter sat at a large, roll-top desk. Beany had expected to notice the clothes which a much-quoted columnist would be wearing. But she didn't. It was only afterward that she remembered how a frilly, white something at the neck had broken the severity of Eve Baxter's gray, nubbiny wool.

Beany noticed first the alert, impatient, even jerky movements of Eve Baxter's head, her hands. Though the darkest of dark glasses hid her eyes, Beany could feel their flashing keenness. Would they be the dark blue that went with red hair? . . . Or maybe brown like Norbett Rhodes's? . . .

Eve Baxter's short red hair was lightly flecked with gray. Like the cinnamon and sugar mix they used on cinnamon toast, Beany thought. It had a wiry and unruly vigor, as though it did its own deciding which way to swirl, regardless of hair styles."

". . .(when) the seasoned newspaperwoman, Eve Baxter, had been confined to her home with an eye ailment, Beany had started helping her. She would drive over to Eve's house in her brother's jalopy, read the letters aloud to her employer, and take down the answers in her school shorthand. Eve Baxter even greeted her, 'Hello, my eyes,' and often said, 'You've got a good head and heart for solving problems, child.'"

Description of Eve Baxter's office: "It was a room with a dual personality. The part of the room where Eve Baxter and Beany worked was businesslike, with large cluttered desk and files and comfortable, mannish, leather chairs. But the alcove off the room was sheer femininity. Ruffled curtains and bedspread of pale green taffeta. Wallpaper with a lacy flower pattern in it. An array of cut-glass perfume bottles on the dressing table."
Something Borrowed, Something Blue (book)

"Something Borrowed, Something Blue" is the 13th book in the Beany Malone series, and as is obvious from its title and cover, tells of Beany's wedding to boy-next-door Carlton Buell.

From Image Cascade:

Nonna, the designing designer step-grandmother, offers Beany the wedding of a lifetime. Unaware of Nonna's ulterior motives, Beany relishes the planning of a grand wedding. When the elaborate arrangements cause a rift between Beany and Carl, there becomes some question as to whether or not there will be a wedding. Johnny further exacerbates the problem with his own brand of romantic impulsiveness. How can a society wedding and a community center in the stockyard district be intertwined?
Carlton Buell

Carlton Buell is the boy next door, the Malones' neighbor and Johnny's best friend. He and Beany eventually wed and have two children, Mary Liz and Mister.

From Image Cascade Publishing's page:

The boy next door. Johnny's best friend. Always faithful and loyal to the Malones. Son of Judge Buell. Kind hearted and principled. Slow to anger. "Carlton Buell, with his stubby blond hair, his shy, unassuming grin, was a comfortable person. 'Don't tell any of the teachers my father is a judge,' he used to warn Johnny, 'or they'll expect me to be smarter than I am.'" Later worked as program director of Lilac Way, a community center for disadvantaged children. Carlton was often seen rounding up paraphernalia for Lilac Way's baseball team or helping the young Lilac Way boys (the Bombshells) secure lawn-mowing jobs in the neighborhood. Always generous yet firm with the often pilfering natures of the boys.

"He walked with an easy stride. His blond crewcut would, before the summer was over, be lighter than his ruddy, tanned face. She had seen him so often with her brother Johnny, who was tall and lanky, that she had always thought of Carlton as short and stocky. But he wasn't." (Five feet, eleven inches.)
Come Back, Wherever You Are (book)

"Come Back, Wherever You Are" is the final, and some say saddest, book in the Beany Malone series.

From Image Cascade:

Beany and Carl are the parents of young James William (Mister) and Mary Liz. Carl is devoting much energy to building his law career as he works alongside his meddling, pontificating Uncle Matthew. Kay and Joe return to Denver with their troubled son, Jodey. When tragedy strikes, Beany volunteers to care for Jodey, yet compromises her own physical and emotional health as well as her marriage. How will Beany and her young family be able to withstand the undue pressure?
Martie Malone

Martie Malone is the patriarch of the Malone clan, a widower who eventually marries Adair, an artist.

The following is taken from the Image Cascade Publishing description of Martie:

A man of strong values, and a faith in the beliefs and integrity of his children. Son Johnny referred to him as our on-again off-again gone-again father. The head of the household was often absent due to his business as the Editor of the Denver Call. Martie Malone led the family in making the Malone home open to any and all who were in need of assistance or encouragement. "It was more usual than not for the telephone to ring . . . and for Martie Malone to say, 'Put another plate on' I'm bringing someone home.' "

"Her father was just an older and more weathered edition of Johnny. He was tall and had the same dark eyes. Only his were bordered by a network of lines. Beany remembered that, as a child, she had thought they resembled the lines for playing ticktacktoe. His hair, like Johnny's, was thick and unruly, and was peppered with gray at the temples."

"Martie Malone had been a court reporter as well as a sports writer before he became city editor of Denver's afternoon paper, where he now wrote the editorials which a hundred and seventy thousand subscribers discussed over dinner tables and in street cars, and which school children gave reports on in their Current Events classes."

Mr. Malone's views on raising children were stated in the following passage of Meet the Malones, "Father looked at them all, then at Ander and at old Emerson Worth, and he smiled with appealing helplessness. 'It's times like these that are tough on parents,' he said. 'I ache to give Mary Fred the money for her horse, and get Johnny out of his mess and say, 'Beany, hop to it and get what you need.' It'd give me the same pleasure it gives a hen to spread her wings over her chicks. But I can't manage it, and my reason tells me it's a blessing I can't. Their mother and I believed that they'd have no chance of growing if they were always protected.'"

" . . . Martie Malone, always met discouragement and disappointment smilingly, almost jovially. And that victory always sobered him. As though the fighter in him was so braced for losing that he found triumph unsettling."
Emerson Worth

Elderly Emerson Worth was a friend, retired journalist, and pet project, of Martie Malone.

From Image Cascade:

Journalist of days gone by. A philosopher who was of ill health and wandering mind.

"...Emerson Worth, past his eightieth birthday, was often too vague and maundery to fill in the dates and facts that Johnny needed. . . . .Emerson Worth was one of the builders of the city, a once nationally known newspaperman. But, outliving his usefulness, he had been a bitter and defeated old man until Johnny had said, 'Emerson, I'll help you write your book. Just spout to me and I'll put it on paper.' Thus the book was begun. . . An old man dreaming dreams and a young man seeing visions. . . . It had been Johnny's idea to hang the book together with items out of old newspapers and then to fill in with the story Emerson recounted. It was Johnny's dream that Emerson's dream be fulfilled."

"Emerson Worth (often) quoted from the man for whom he was named " 'The highest price you can pay for a thing is to get it for nothing.' That's the trouble with this generation; they want everything. . .'"

Araminta, Eve Baxter's housekeeper

Araminta was the memorable housekeeper who took care of advice columnist Eve Baxter. She was no fan of coffee.

From Image Cascade:

". . . the elderly housekeeper, named Araminta, in ruffled cap and apron, open the door for her. It was always like something out of an English novel to have Araminta say, Come in, Miss Beany. Let me take your coat, dear. Miss Eve is expecting you.'

She supposed Araminta was what you called a faithful family retainer. After Beany's coat was carefully hung on the hall tree, Araminta said, "'Come, dear, I'll show you upstairs.'"

..."It was a feud of long standing between employer and employee. Araminta insisted that coffee was ruinous to a woman's disposition and complexion. She served Miss Eve tea instead. "When I do browbeat her into making coffee," Eve Baxter often grumbled to Beany, "I swear she puts a geranium leaf or a dash of nutmeg in it."

"This morning, as usual, when Araminta departed, Beany hurried down to the old-fashioned kitchen and put on a percolator of coffee. She carried it up to Eve Baxter in the large sunny upstairs room."
Kay Maffley Collins

Kay Maffley was Beany's other best friend, along with Miggs Carmody. Raised by a wealthy but vain and childish mother, the artistic, beautiful and kind Kay fell into a teenage marriage to athlete Joe Collins (the pride of Peachtree, Utah) and soon gave birth to their son, Jodey. Kay died tragically from leukemia when Jodey was just a child, and the sad loss is detailed in the final Beany Malone book, "Come Back, Wherever You Are."

From the Image Cascade Publishing page:

Soft spoken, delicate Kay. Blonde ("taffy-colored hair") and fair and loyal to Beany through thick and thin. Shyly interested in Beany's brother, Johnny. A bit wistful (but never jealous) for the warmth and security of the Malone family. More mature than her own mother, flighty Faye. Very artistic, tender and caring. The artist of most school posters.

"All during Beany's sophomore and. . . . her junior year, at Harkness, she and Kay had shared a locker, confidences, note paper, lunches. They had double-dated on weekends."

". . . Kay, who knew Beany's dreams as well as she knew her own. . ."
Miss Opal

She's described as a "gray-haired, pink-cheeked, comfortably plump woman" who smiles at Beany out of "kindly, child-like, blue eyes." She rides out to California with Beany and Johnny in their '41 Dodge.

Miss Opal has no children, but when she refers to her "boys" and Beany asks if she is really a "Miss," she affirms that, saying "I have two or three boys that I've looked after and schooled, and I always call them my boys, But they're grown now and I'm alone, except when one or the other of them come back to visit me."
Elizabeth Malone

##### These select quotes, chosen by Image Cascade Publishing, describe her well.

"Before Elizabeth married she had gone a year to the university. She had been strenuously rushed by every sorority and pledged by the "prominent" Delts. She had been chosen freshman escort for the Homecoming queen. And, before the year was out, she had been married under crossed swords to Lieutenant Donald McCallin. But now the war was over. Soldiers were returning. But Elizabeth was still waiting for Don to return from overseas.

"Elizabeth was lovable and loving and so lovely! Oh, why couldn't I, Beany often thought, have hair that makes a shining aureole about my face (as they say in books)? Why couldn't boys send me violets and say they were pale compared to my eyes?" Dear Elizabeth. Gentle and loving yet strong. More loyal to her husband than seems possible. As her beloved Don returns from the war, Elizabeth sat devotedly at his bedside as the doctors determined the status of his wounded leg. ". . .Everyone else had been so shocked, so grieved at the thought of his leg being amputated at the knee. But not Elizabeth. Beany would never forget her luminous face as she reported, 'He'll live. The doctors got the infection in time. He'll live, and that's all that matters.' "
Fashion in the Weber books

Lenora Mattingly Weber was wonderful at describing clothes, from the classic black-and-white look of Jennifer Reed to the more flamboyant outfits worn by Dulcie to the infamous sweater that Adair painted for Beany. Here we'll discuss some of the more creative outfits and the possible meanings behind them.

Beany

Mary Fred

Elizabeth

Dulcie

Kay

Miggs

### Sheila McBride

Sheila McBride's weight was a major (and weirdly handled) topic in "Leave It to Beany," so her clothes were discussed in that same awkward way.

Here's an example of Beany being pretty fashion judgey on poor Sheila:

"Anyone so short and stocky should never wear a dress which fitted snugly and with a drape effect at the side. The dress was blue (basement blue, Mary Fred always called that shade of bright, deep blue). And the boxy, short coat over the dress should have been worn with a pencil-slim skirt. But it was her hair, her black hair done up in a mass of little sausage curls, that made Beany sum her up and dismiss her as gruesome.' "

And one more example:

> "Beany fought desperately to recover her poise, to re-shift her mental images. But each look made her heart sink deeper. It wasn't only the blue dress (But oh, those blue glass earrings!) Maybe Uncle Matthew had bought her that dress, thinking sequins were pretty.(But oh, those sausage curls!) Yes, maybe some clerk had sold Uncle Matthew that dress and Sheila hadn't wanted to hurt his feelings (But oh, those wabbly, spike-heeled pumps!)"
>

### Cynthia Hobbs

Cynthia Hobbs accompanied Beany and the Miss Opal crew to California in "Beany and the Beckoning Road." Beany is originally quite jealous of Cynthia with regards to Norbett, so notices her fashion with a keen and jealous eye.

> "Cynthia wasn't wearing a white sunback dress now with gold belt and sandals, but a full, green cotton skirt with pockets as big as mail pouches, with a matching crew shirt with diagonal stripes of rose, lavender and the apple green of the skirt. Her sandals, Beany noted, had the same pastel shades, and part of Beany's mind was thinking irrelevantly, I can never match thngs that perfectly. But then, I don't shop at exclusive stores."

Ward Captain

The leader of the Urban Ward, the Ward Captain is in charge of maximizing the efficiency of the men at his disposal. The Urban Ward doesn't have plentiful numbers, and the Ward Captain is in charge of putting patrols and forces where they are needed most. Though he does have a discretionary fund for hiring mercenaries and adventurers as well as a Reserve Ward he can call on, the Ward Captain usually has to protect the key parts of the city and makes the Urban Ward's presence felt throughout the city even though he doesn't have the manpower protect every part.

The position is appointed by the Almonte Conclave, although the previous Ward Captain usually recommends one of his commanders when they step down or retire and the Conclave usually votes them in immediately. Unless a vote is called for to remove the Ward Captain, the Ward Captain retires or dies, or in the rare case that a Ward Captain is elected to the Conclave, the position is for life.

The Ward Captain is required to report to the Conclave at least once a month on the conditions of the city, crime statistics, budgetary concerns, and any other piece of information the Ward Captain feels relevant to their job.

It is unfortunately vague in the city charter, but it technically says that any member of the Conclave is the Ward Captain's direct superior and can issue orders. This is unclear if different members give conflicting orders. In the past it has been resolved by putting the orders to a vote at the Conclave, the Ward Captain just choosing which orders they think are wisest, or in one rare case a Ward Captain gathered his Commanders and had them vote on which course to take. Technically, all of these are legal and illegal.

The current Ward Captain is **Ulmora Redshield**, who has held the position for almost 10 years now.
Adair Malone

Adair Malone became the Malone family stepmother, but Martie didn't even tell his family they were dating until after they'd wed, causing much upheaval, especially for Beany. An artist, she had apparently not been married before and had no children of her own, but took quickly to the Malone brood after an embarrassing misunderstanding with Beany.

From Image Cascade Publishing:

Martie's new, artistic wife. Of a more petite and slender build than her stepdaughters. Age when introduced: 36.

Martie Malone spoke fondly of Adair in his first description of her: "'Never ask a man what a woman looks like, especially, if he's in love with her. Because, of course, she's beautiful. I thought of bringing a picture of her, but none of them looks like the real Adair. She laughs a lot. She's warm and generous. She's adaptable, she'll fit right in here. You couldn't help but love her. . . .'"

"The new and youngish stepmother of the Malones was a portrait painter."

"Their new stepmother, Adair, tried hard but, as she herself admitted, she was more deft with a paint brush than a mixing spoon."

Although Beany had a rocky introduction to Adair(mistaking her for the Tres Jolie woman with Mary Fred's cosmetics) and was somewhat fraught with resentment toward her new stepmother, she and her siblings grew to love the warm and kind Adair. . .

When Beany's father had first described their stepmother-to-be to her stepchildren-to-be, he had said, "Adair's easy to look at and easy to laugh with."

"They found her easy to be serious with as well. Her dark eyes were warm and responsive. This morning they looked large and heavy in her oval face, and Beany realized that Adair, too, had lain awake last night until her stepdaughter returned. Yet, like Beany's father, she was neither prying nor condemning."

Beany said impulsively, "You're sure swell, Stepmom."

Adair's smile was a little tremulous. "You're pretty swell yourself, Beany..."
Mary Fred Malone

Mary Fred Malone is the third of the four Malone children. She is almost three years older than Beany. The first book, "Meet the Malones," is really about her, but Lenora Mattingly Weber decided going forward to switch to the younger Beany.

Quotes taken from the Image Cascade Publishing page:

". . . the most notable thing about Mary Fred Malone was her exuberance, her sparkle, her 'get-up-and-git,' as Mrs No-complaint Adams (the housekeeper) put it. Whenever Mary Fred came into a room she brought a quickening lift. Girls always said 'Mary Fred, you've got to come to the party. It's never so partyish without you.' "

"Mary Fred wasn't as lovely as Elizabeth. Her hair missed that golden glint and was just a thick mop of curly brown hair. Her eyes weren't violet blue, but just blue eyes that twinkled with good humor, flashed with temper."

". . . Mary Fred wasn't as capable, as soberly dependable, as Beany. She was impulsive and generous, vehement and loyal. " 'Old bubble-and-bounce Mary Fred,' "Johnny always called her."

Mary Fred has the fortitude to withstand most any situation and is often the "ear" to which Beany can vent her frustrations. As an older sister, Mary Fred is not always sympathetic and occasionally advises (sometimes scoldingly) Beany (or "Beaver" as she is known to call her) to do the opposite of her proposed plan. Mary Fred can also be the most sympathetic and encouraging of the Malones as Beany struggles to achieve her goals.

Mary Fred is, perhaps, best known for her love of horses. Throughout the series, Mary Fred owns Mr. Chips, Miss Goldie and Sir Echo and has numerous struggles which involve the ownership of these horses. An accomplished horsewoman, Mary Fred frequently participates in horse shows, typically bringing home a first place ribbon.

Beyond her involvement with horses, Mary Fred's greatest legacy is her meat loaf. Johnny and Mary Fred have numerous tiffs regarding Mary Fred's frequent preparation of meat loaf leading to the moment that Johnny says, "When I get married, I'm going to put in the bride's wedding vows: 'I promise to love, honor, and obey, and never let a meat loaf darken the oven.'" =====
Happy Birthday, Dear Beany (book)

Her dreams are shattered as Miggs, the daughter of a now rich Texas oilman, appears cold and distant. A new beau offers support to Beany as she struggles with the Carmody's new social position. . . but does this young man have a hidden agenda?
Beany Malone (book)

"Beany Malone" is the second book in the Beany Malone series. It was the first book in which Lenora Mattingly Weber shifted focus off Mary Fred Malone and onto her younger sister, Beany.

From Image Cascade:

Beany Malone series

The Beany Malone series is Lenora Mattingly Weber's most popular book series. There are 14 books in the series, which takes Beany (real name: Catherine Cecilia) from childhood through marriage and motherhood. Beany and her family also make occasional appearances in Weber's next series, the Katie Rose and Stacy Belford series.

The first Beany Malone book, "Meet the Malones," was published in 1943 and is the only Malone book in which Beany herself is not the central character. Weber focused on Beany's older sister, Mary Fred Malone, and introduced the Malone family and friends. By the second book, 1948's "Beany Malone," she had decided to focus instead on Mary Fred's younger sister.

The Malone family's mother, Mary, has passed away by the time the series opened. Their father, Martie Malone, is a well-known newspaper columnist in Denver, Colorado and gives his children a great deal of independence. He eventually marries an artist, Adair, and the sudden way he springs his marriage on his children is a subject of much drama. His children are, from oldest to youngest, Elizabeth, Johnny, Mary Fred and Catherine Cecilia, aka Beany. Martie is an honest man and a hard worker, and expects much from his motherless brood, especially young Beany, who is a capable cook and homemaker by the time she can lift a frying pan.

The series was originally published from 1943 to 1969 by the Thomas Y. Crowell Company, and republished in 1999 by Image Cascade Publishing.

Pick A New Dream (book)

"Pick A New Dream" is the tenth book in the Beany Malone series.

From Image Cascade:

After graduating from Harkness High, Beany anticipates becoming a newspaperwoman by following in Eve Baxter's

footsteps. She is shocked to learn that Eve Baxter is retiring to England and has a more experienced replacement for the writing of her column. What will Beany do for a summer job? How will Carlton help? Could Beany be seeing the boy-next-door in a new light?
Mrs. No-Complaint Adams

Mrs. No-Complaint Adams, not to be confused with Mrs. Socially Prominent Adams, was the Malone family's part-time housekeeper.

From Image Cascade:

"Mrs. No-complaint Adams, who gave the Malones the last half of every day to 'wash, iron, and cook them,' was never grim about ten minutes extra if she was ironing Johnny's sport shirts. But then Mrs. Adams was partial to the menfolks in the motherless Malone household. Little Martie she referred to fondly as 'the little mister.' And as for Martie Malone, father of the Malones! Mrs. Adams was sure that if the president at Washington would just read Martie Malone's editorials in the Morning Call, he would be entirely fit to cope with all the world's problems. . . . They called their housekeeper Mrs. No-complaint Adams because it was her proud boast that she had 'worked out' for seventeen years and had never had a complaint."

"Mrs. No-complaint seldom went so far as their front door when the knocker sounded. She d go to the front hall and yell, 'Come on in...the door isn't locked. Who'd you want? Beany? Well, yell upstairs and see. A body can never keep track of who's in and who's out.' "
Dulcie Lungaarde Trighorn

Brassy, beautiful Dulcie becomes one of Beany's best friends, though her sassy manner at first sets many of the Harkness High crowd against her. She briefly dates Carlton Buell before he ends up with Beany, but her wandering eye doesn't suit the conservative Carl. She eventually marries Bartell Bottling worker August Trighorn, and by the end of the series, they have a tidy home of their own and a little girl named Gussie.

From Image Cascade:

Dulcie was a ponytail-bouncing, hip-swinging carhop at the Ragged Robin whom Beany somewhat took under her wing. Yet Beany was was often frustrated by her lack of sensitivity to most people. Dulcie tended to rub people the wrong way, particularly girls! She was best known for her liberal use of makeup, her ponytail that was the color of burnt sugar, and her tendency to be a "more-thanner" (More-thanning was the term that represented a girl's follow through of amorous affection.)

"...Dulcie in her red jacket, and her cheeks almost as red from the cold wind, and her lips even redder, because of lipstick wielded generously."

Her father squandered their already limited funds by involving himself in unproductive uranium projects. Although she had a propensity for bragging on her skills in sewing, dating and carhopping, Dulcie did have a soft side and a somewhat variable heart of gold. Her own shame of her home and background often brought Beany to her rescue.
Andy Kern

Andy Kern was the son of a police captain, a Marine, and eventually, a priest, but he is best known as Beany's second boyfriend. Many readers thought fondly of Andy and some even wished he'd stayed out of the priesthood so Beany could have married him instead of Carlton Buell. He had a sister, Rosellen, who used crutches due to a bout with polio, and whose tragic death is at the heart of the book "A Bright Star Falls." He also had two young brothers, Donny and Pete, who had many entrepreneurial schemes involving small pets.

From Image Cascade:

Son of police Captain Kern. Sweet, reliable, patient and funny Andy. Always signed his notes to Beany, "Stay as sweet as you are." Often referred to her as "Knucks" and "Doll." Andy was always comfortable to be around - never pushed a serious relationship and always "kept it light" in the romance department (no more-thanning expected from Andy). Andy was a steadying force in Beany's life after her topsy-turvy relationship with Norbett.

Beany described Andy to Mary Fred as, "...a born comedian - without even trying. He ushers at the Pantages. He calls it the Pant. And the manager's name is Mr. Puffer' and it's so funny the way Andy puffs and pants when he says, 'Now Mr. Puffer at the Pant. . .' And you know how the French for 'I adore you' sounds just like, 'Shut the door.' Well, Andy knows that phrase, and Madame asked him how he knew that and nothing else, and he said?" Beany's blush deepened, "'It comes easy when I look at Beany.'"
Beany Has a Secret Life (book)

"Beany Has a Secret Life" is the fifth book in the Beany Malone series.

From Image Cascade:

Norbett goes to a college in Ohio leaving Beany at loose ends. Martie marries a portrait artist, Adair, and the children (especially Beany) are disappointed that she lacks the matronly image and homemaking skills they had envisioned in their new stepmother. Feeling alone and somewhat rebellious, Beany joins a secret club called The Triple O, for "On Our Own." Beany is delighted to be paired off with the popular Andy Kern but soon realizes that the much admired secret club organizers have ulterior motives regarding their fellow club members.
Mrs. Socially Prominent Adams

Not to be confused with Mrs. No-Complaint Adams, Mrs. Socially Prominent Adams (aka, Mrs. Morrison Adams) was the Malone's neighbor and the aunt of Mary Fred's boyfriend Ander Erhart.

From Image Cascade:

"...The next-door neighbor to the south (of the Malones) was also a Mrs. Adams. The Malones differentiated by calling her Mrs. Socially-prominent Adams. The society page never missed mentioning one of her teas, luncheons, or committee meetings."
Ander Erhart

Ander Erhart is Mary Fred's primary romantic interest throughout the series.

From Image Cascade:

Although destined to become a doctor, Ander "still entered and won calf-roping contests. He talked with a soft drawl and walked with a cowboy's rolling gait. His face was always tanned, and a myriad of sun wrinkles framed his eyes. His hands were slim-fingered, strong and capable; his eyes probing and alert."

Though sometimes bossy toward Mary Fred, he offered her a balance for her impetuous nature, particularly as it related to her involvement with horses. Their mutual love of horses brought them together and sustained their relationship.
