    Your writing gives you cred. You life experience just adds to the story! 😀👍

    Chapter 2

    Great chapter, but may I say your final paragraph where you, as the author, talked about your situation etc, felt like you felt you needed to explain the story and its direction. You don't. The story you are writing is great. It doesn't need any justification. Just keep writing! Thanks

    Chapter 1

    If you acknowledge and question your own attitudes to race, the chances of you being openly racist are pretty thin. Then its a matter of working on innate cultural biases. This story looks like it's going to explore this with at least one emerging gay antagonist. All the signs of a great story. Thanks
  4. Peaceful self discovery with a sympathetic friend- can't be a better start..... Thanks
  5. As it looked like he was going to get raped anyway, at least getting £15 enable their longer term plan to be nearer. Still, I agree with Collin. Thanks for the chapter.

    Chapter 36

    Can one be envious and in awe similtaneously? Controlling a dozen or so characters in sharp cross table conversation each character bringing their individual history with them... just amazing 👏. A master story teller: I am truly humbled by his talent. Thank you Mark Arbour, you make me want alternatively delete everything I have written or improve. Which way I go depends on my wine and Gimlet consumption!

    Beginnings

    1920 - they did things differently back then! I suspect that it's a case of "anything, but don't frighten the horses" was still the general approach. Provided public decency wasn't affronted, everyone would let whatever be. interesting to see how it resolves itself....

    Chapter 61

    Weirdly and somewhat unexpectedly as an Australian/Canadian, I am reading this while in Helsinki. I think it's about as close geographically as I have got to our hero! While George was "happy" with the Emperor, he has a whole new level of happiness controlling a ship and its crew; Somewhat like an amphibian, Grainger copes quite well out of water, but thrives in it! Thanks Mr Arbour, a welcome chapter.

    I wonder how the Board will take being "shaken up"? My spidey sense tells me we are in for more drama!

    Chapter 33

    Will could make a good lawyer: he picks up what people mean from what they say, when what they are saying is sometimes not what they mean. Not sure about Wil's dad and Jake. These all engrossing passionate relationship can easily blow up in a fit of rage and misunderstanding. (Taylor/ Burton for example) Great characters and a good read, as ever!
  11. Four pages of comments have said it all, but I'd like to add... An author inserting themselves as a characters dealer, just has to be a first! Congrats, and looking forward for more! Regards

    Chapter 60

    A neat chapter for us Grainger-lovers, and something to warm our man's bed! What a wonderful outcome! The Duke-viscountess dispute sounds upsetting. I could imagine it follows king vs PoW camps. The colours of Granger cabin verge on bordello-like (not having been in any bordellos, its what I think a bad taste bordello would look like!) Now let's see how Granger performs with a slightly raised head! Thank you. Much appreciated!

    Ah! Well I am glad at least one person passed my cunning test! 🤭🤭🤭

    Yes, if the Norgh Koreans or Iranians or any other dubious country approaches him, he'd better be on the next plane to anywhere; he'd be a wanted man...and not in a good way by Oz! The safe was an interesting point. That and the sick mother. I see a three witches event ( 1st Act Hamlet) in the next day or so. A cunning plotter, Mr Carlos, a very cunning plotter. Thanks

    Aside from usage issues like mere cliffies... Liebe having a say in her own clothes? Really? Nope, no way. My partner agreed year 8 or 9 was when he was first allowed to choose, I was a bit earlier, perhaps aged 13 or 14. My two boys probably had their opinions asked (and appropriately ignored) until 15. But then we were/are all boys....girls get away with anything....

    Chapter 30

    How strange; from exactly the same story my gut was viscerally the opposite. Sounds like we are reading a seriously good sonofabitch author!! And this is despite me seeing that I had a new Mark Arbour to read, thought it had to be about Grainger, so saved it for bed.... only to find it was the other.... but still a remarkable other indeed. I just to find something else in bed.... sigh....

    That's one messed up dude. Will is really becoming the sane sensible intelligent member of the next generations. I'm keen to find out what is the cause of the divorce. Mark, you certainly toss some bombs into this family!! Thanks.

    He's from the US; it's all "new" money! 😅🤣

    Chapter 27

    5% for 500k. In 2004. I could have almost done it! But like everyone else reading this story, I didnt! Hmm peter thiel. One of those people who went from mildly disagreeable to out and out f'wit the more money he got together. Interesting that Will is taking Steff's "sensible risk taking" attitude, compared to the others "cautious with what we have" philosophy.... Enjoyable, thanks.

    Chapter 59

    And the Grainger stamp is put on yet another ship! He'll start to get a reputation! A wonderful outing for our beloved hero, again his own master, with a crew to lick into shape, so to speak. It has occurred to me that when Mr Arbour decides to send our beloved hero to meet his eternal lover in the sky I do hope that episode comes with therapy sessions. My Lord Grainger is the second longest relationship I have had. Even my husband is aware of my "sacred time" when a new episode arrrives! His departure (Graingers, that is) will be met with a considerable outpouring of grief (of course I'd be sad if my husband goes too, but one can generally find another husband) Meanwhile Mr Arbour; write on! 😘
