Lagniappe 10: Harry and the Gruff


A little something extra from the latest Harry Dresden novel.

My apologies for not having a regular episode up. I have been running into scheduling problems. Hopefully these bits of lagniappe will entertain in the meantime.

According to Webster
la·gniappe \ˈlan-ˌyap, lan-ˈ\
Function:
noun
Etymology: American French, from American Spanish la ñapa the lagniappe, from la + ñapa, yapa, from Quechua yapa something added
Date: 1844
: a small gift given a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase;
broadly : something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure
