Mark Arbour Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Mark are you actually using real names of history for your story?? I have never took this in any classes so i wouldn't know. I do know you do your reshearch on the events you portray but is it actually history with your own made up twist?? One other thing....how come there's all these gay sailors and none have been hanged yet to make it more dangerous...??? I'm so confused...it's like losing it's potency of the threat...seems only wilcoxes are the ones who want to hang the gay guys. Oh and i think this sentance is wronge when granger meets bell “So you're still having a hard time keeping your dick in your pants eh?” Granger said, letting his eyes glance down at Granger's crotch. Why did granger look at his own crotch to suggest something...lol Hmmm. Maybe he was thinking of masturbating? LOL. Good catch..that's an error. I try to stay as close to history as I can, and use historical figures where it seems realistic. For example, the seizure of Toulon was accomplished by Captain Elphinstone (later Lord Keith) without a shot being fired, and Horatio Nelson was dispatched to Sardinia and Naples to drum up reinforcements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFire Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 What a way to wake up in the morning, do you know if he does requests? It always makes me chuckle, that despite it being war time, they still manage to go through all the pomp and ceremony in welcoming the British soldiers. Only the French and English would do such a thing! I really hope Granger doesn't try to bed Nelson as well! Though on his past track record I certainly wouldn't put it past him!! You seemed to have summed up Nelson very well though, he was an extremely charismatic man who seemed to gain loyalty and respect through his presence alone. Apparently he had quite the sense of humour as well. So, off to Sardinia to get reinforcements, and will they ever need them with what's coming up! It was good to see the return of Bell, though I imagine it's only a brief reunion. Seems our Mr Granger has a man on every ship! Another great chapter Mark. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is a spoiler, but there's no way I could have anyone sleep with Nelson. One of Britain's most venerated heroes...and one of the biggest naval heroes ever...seems a bit sacrilegious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well as far as i'm concerned it's all made up....now i guess if i really wanted to i could catch up on history and see how this turns out, but why bother when u'll tell me anyway within the next so many chapters. He could been thinking it! haha But seriously. Hang someone already! lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Britain's most venerated heroes...and one of the biggest naval heroes ever...seems a bit sacrilegious. Actually, that very thought crossed my mind (just incidentally....or innocently ), Granger having sex with Nelson. I remember thinking that if anyone would take that on, Mark would. But you're right. Let's leave Lord Nelson's "reputation" intact. Mind you, he was such a great man in so many other ways, he was probably a lousy lay! Where can we get our hands on Lady Nelson's memoirs? Great chapter, Mark! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Galahad Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Excellent chapter Tiger. It seems our Georgie has a harem of men at his beck & call, lucky boy! I did wonder when Iggy would make an appearance again, & when they were going to freshen up I thought that was code for make like bunnies! I was right. A man after my own heart, I think a thorough debriefing was totally in order. So, it looks like Caroline is pregnant!! Does that mean the break out of WWIII in here, because I believe gentlemen, and you know who you are, that you've both made your points, several times! Don't make me come & use my lance to break it up! George seems to be pleased though, and what a way to celebrate, a threesome. At least Granger managed to get through the ordeal of the Royal court the next day without barfing on their Majesties. Somehow, I think, that goes against protocol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enric Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 So, it looks like Caroline is pregnant!! Does that mean the break out of WWIII in here..... George seems to be pleased though, and what a way to celebrate, a threesome. would there be any suspicion about the biological paternity of the forthcoming kid ? I was a bit disappointed in Caroline's reputation.... something George was not fully apprised earlier, I gather. Their first heterosex took place in what it was, May or June ? and pregnancy is heard of in the end of august - having taken place some week or more to become known as far as in Naples. Okay, three months is a time when a pregnancy is getting to show a bit.... (and women occasionally are not yet aware of their own pregnancy yet sometime in the second month.) The kid just might be sired by George. But, if not, then it's very obvious that Caroline actually would not have been a virgin there in the Carlton House scene [oh, if she were not, then exclamation: what duplicity, what an actress].... Because, it's so unlikely that she had been porked by someone else during their engagement period, a time when she would have been watched by her parents and presumably George would have kept some company to her and additionally, they appear to have liked each other and presumably had a good enough time without outside diversions. Btw, in those days, to many aristocratic women, a marriage was pretty much a full permission to have lovers, whichever men took their fancy. Because, the virginity was no longer at risk, and it was often thought that no one will be the wiser... In those days, there weren't genetic tests to determine paternity. But, some things can be deduced from the outlook of the kid (bone structure, shape of skull, some other features), when the kid grows up. All that said, it's possible that George just is glad to have a kid, not bothering to harbor any suspicions of the paternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 WW III? That was barely a skirmish! Anyway, Sir Gally, your lance is welcome anytime...if you feel it will heighten the discussion. Chapter 9 was excellent, Mark! If Granger has a son, will he name him John? Maybe Horatio? Imagine a young lad these days being saddled with the name Horatio! I'm curious as well about the "foreboding" Granger is feeling on returning to the Victory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Arbour Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 does this mean that Caroline possibly got pregnant by a totally other man? poor Georgie, suspicion of a cuckoo placed in his nest... Unlikely. Caroline was a virgin when they got together. The only reason he'd have to worry is if she f**ked someone after he left, and she's been staying with his parents, so that may be a bit tough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
