He is also completely infatuated with Granger. Not that there is anything wrong with that when you are so far out to sea and all. However, I believe we are about to get a new midshipman too aren't we? As one is made Lieutenant? And who was promoted? Hmmm could be that a new midshipman could bring more material for Winkler. I wonder if Cavendish went back to sea without the blessings of his family. After all they almost lost him and it would be hard to see him go back to see not completely healed. Mother's . . . you know.

Hey I loved him too! But I'm big enough to love Cavendish too.

Sweet Cavendish? What do you have against him? And who wouldn't want to be named after something that enjoys being eaten time and time again? Tell me Mark M., Is that perhaps short for Mark M. WILCOX? You talk like a Wilcox. And why wouldn't Sir John enjoy a little exhibitionism? He might be quite handsome at that age. As for the possibility of punishment for buggery, I would think that Granger would permit an escape first. I think I like the role of Hood. He is intimidating to everyone else. Just not granger. What will be damned interesting is when Sir John extends his hand to shake and his brand shows to Granger. Now as for a little POV sex with Winkler. I think it would be worth a sub chapter for the same only from winky's POV. Or perhaps a little Cavendish / Granger / Winkler action. You know have Cavendish and Granger going at it and have Winkler barge in but when he tries to excuse himself have Cavendish say "Wait!" Then look into Granger's eyes for a moment before saying, "Stay, Join us.) And BTW I have read everything but the land whore. Working on that soon but I have a couple chapters I have to get out before MY readers send out a lynch mob. I'd hate for them to put a hit out on Mark over my own indiscretions. And. . . were you gone? We hadn't noticed your absence Mr. Wilcox.

Why do you say he is quite controversial? in what way? I mean those at the top, it seems would quite naturally be against waste and fraud as it directly affects their pockets. And corruption is nothing more than influence or leverage by means of barter rather than heritage. The wink and the nod are still unspoken payment. And let's be real, Granger has a wealth that exceeds the coin or the court! He's still tight!

Not just a "little" biased are you? Ms Editor wench! But since you work so hard for the cause we'll forgive the mutinous comment. Or were you left handedly telling him he was late posting? In which case you are forgiven and even supported in your visionary comments. An exceptional chapter Mark. As always way too short. Something this good however always feels that way. The sad part about it is that he'll be trailed and held back by a lumbering frigate bearing the staff. It is highly unlikely that he will take any action or seize any prize while Sir Jarvis is onboard. It may be an honor, but you can't by much with it. Not to mention the additional scrutiny. How is Granger to get laid? Or anyone for that matter. There is just something about having God on board that tends to make sinful buggering a little scarier and tends to make one's ass hole slam shut! I wonder if the Admiral will shower on deck. After all it is a shipwide requirement. Fat chance. (Pardon the pun) No, I think that the ships love canal will be tighter than a new midshipman. And HOW long is the voyage? Plan a fleet wide orgy for the day after depositing Sir John to his flag ship.

Is that another way of saying he sampled the fruit of their loins? Seeing as though it was their "cherry" , it makes one must ask if they were "stoned" or "pitted". Wow, wish "I" had vacations like that. I guess when I went to Cabo the last time and that kid asked me if I wanted to buy his brother because he was a virgin for ten minutes now, I should have been paying more than attention! Hey Mark, can I have your travel agents number?

That's a pretty "stuck-up" answer.
