Posessives in dialogue about the-swallows HOT 2 CLOSED

Also good, even if it is due to a slight bug I just introduced:

She pointed the revolver at Bob. 'Tell me where you have hidden the bottle of brandy, Bob, or I shall shoot you,' she said. 'Please don't shoot!', Bob cried, 'it is in Bob'.

Admittedly, this wouldn't normally happen with real treasure and only two characters, but it could with more than two. Obviously, "I have it right here" or "Fred has it" would be less weird responses.

Dialogue now uses "my" and "your" in these situations and is generally less of a hack. Don't get me wrong, it's still a hack -- I would not want to try things like

"I wonder if Bob is still in his bedroom," Alice thought.

or

"I'm going to my bedroom, Bob," said Alice as she went to her bedroom.

...because it assumes the character is speaking, and the event still doesn't distinguish the spoken part of the event from the narrated part of the event.

Still, for the current purposes, it works. Closing.
