    About this ebook

    Fanny is a good insurance agent. Too good. Offered either a better desk outside the salesforce or an overseas desk, she choses a desk in Cádiz, Spain, delivering to the military. But her good salesmanship comes from Gifts than can be used in many ways.

      Good Instincts - F B Dorr

      Bless you, darling. May God help you as you've helped me the old woman had been shaking without qualms, relieved in her distress. Two months ago, she'd been about to cancel her insurance when she'd convinced her to tie both hers and her nephew's together. The kid was her only surviving relative, doing odd jobs in college. The tactic was kind of usual: if the kid could keep on paying, they had a new customer. If he didn't, they didn't have to cough up for his aunt. What were the chances that he'd be the one actually needing the money? Specially with that non-participant clause.

      The chances were low, indeed, but she'd known when she made the proposal. Rather, she'd Known.

      Her first step, years ago, had been to get a proper job insurance with her own employer. She did pay a lot every month for it, but it was only natural. It was the only thing—besides, maybe, a speck of curiosity—that kept her on the desk. She'd been given a bit of Sight. She'd learned of it some time ago. Past the initial shock, it was making her absurdly wealthy, bit by bit, as her investments paid up. It was making cripples and widows independently wealthy nationwide; never outrageously so, but always comfortable. Human Resources kept shuffling her and hiring private investigators to follow her, to try to find how she was doing it. They never managed, of course. And, usually sometime after the fourth or sixth month, they sent her to some other state.

      They were kind of running out. And the legend had spread a bit too much for comfort, in corporate's eyes. So they'd made her an offer, given her a choice: overseas or higher up. She didn't much care for stodgy old Europe, but she cared even less for cushy jobs. And she wouldn't be able to help much if she couldn't call customers.

      So she found herself in Cádiz, Spain. The Most Noble, Most Loyal and Most Honored. The city that had seen most of the movement towards the New World, back then. The city that had tried to introduce a modern democracy during the war against Napoleon only to see its hopes crushed when the king had no longer needed
