I've moved from reading about Methodists to reading about Jesuits. The last Methodist book I read was super intense at the end: the villainess was eeevil and manipulative, but the comeuppance completely rocked.
The Jesuit book I'm reading - Percy Wynn, or, Making a Boy of Him - has one excellent bit of slang. Two bad guys, an Irish-American and an Italian, appear almost randomly (I swear, this isn't the set-up to a joke!). The Irish-American calls the other bad guy an "outlandish Garibaldian" - which isn't catchy at all. No wonder the guys are trying to make a living being wicked in Eastern Kansas of all places.
