  1. All right, if you insist...the authors stays ! Apologies!
  2. Interesting that they all decide "the intern" goes. All hed need to do is suggest Gabriel stays and he leaves. The powers that be would quickly find a solution....
  3. The development of multiple strands is fascinating! People having sex in the office: somehow its never the young/pretty/handsome ones....😶

    He sort of has to be, given the number of positions Mr Arbour manages to get him into! I'd rather like helping dear George in and out of his positions..... 😍😉

    Chapter 34

    "A very unholy sexual extravaganza"! Wonderful phrase! How equally wonderful it is to be back with dear George as he fornicates his way across western Russia! It would seem that the two of them make a great team in so many ways. I do pity our heros having to draft the letter to the Tsar; having drafted many such balancing letters for my political masters, I know just how hard it is to get right. I wish him inspirational luck! Thank you again Mr Arbour for entertaining me yet again with your skills... i greedily look forward to more!

    Well done! Neat scene. Revenge; a dish best served cold!

    Chapter 23

    Loving this! You have very mentally healthy characters in my opinion. The whole "conversion" conversation.... Great reading. Thanks

    And further down the rabbit hole.....😃 Or Walking along a two sided precipice not knowing who is going to fall wich way.... My breath be 'bated!

    Chapter 21

    Very funny... but where are we going? Rabbit hole, methinks! Fun writing...intriguing! Thanks

    Chapter 20

    Brilliant! You could feel the attempt at control and then sudden loss. While the thought of physical intimacy in the wild is quite a turn on, some how, in my humble experince, it rarely produces the best sex! But here and now we have gone through the first gate...looking forward to the next one!

    Silvio

    "He had always said capitalism would be the great equalizer..." while I understand your point, that statement on its own and unqualified can't go unchallenged. Not in the world we live in now.

    Chapter 19

    Apologies...I meant "corporal punishment"....and was referring to "...can’t imagine Grandpa ever spanking you,” I said. “Did he really?” “Unfortunately. And with a belt and an audience..."

    Chapter 19

    Love the last line; sums him up well. Thanks for this enjoying the character development. Not sure about the "public capital punishment" school of parenting. I think there are many children that would be seriously negativly affected by the humiliation, and not in a way that corrected some (perceived) failing.

    Chapter 33

    I love the casual pbysicality of the ending! Grrat depiction of the french court in exile: seeds of their future destruction well and truly sowed. Thanks for more Grainger. Excellent read as ever!

    Chapter 18

    Wonder what they found in the junkyard?
  16. I'm same height but 77kg, but probably just as unfit. I did use a personal trainer and admit it was the best thing I ever did. Nothing like eye candy to really make you put in an effort! Sadly, im back at work so no time for trainers!

    Chapter 32

    Grainger seems to make excellent use of his "resources" whether money is involved or not!

    Chapter 32

    Our Grainger does have an interesting life! Being buggered by the heir to the French King in exile, buying a sackful of diamonds, and travelling in a sleigh with its own fireplace while making love to a Prussian... my days just don’t compare! Great story, really does make me feel good! Thanks.

    Chapter 31

    As if i would even think that you did not do research! I'll bet you know the speed of sleighs on ice! I just imagined Riga as darker and further north than that...but you are right (!) It is some 7 degrees further south than Winnipeg, and probably 12+ degrees further south than where I was!

    Chapter 31

    Amazing tension thoughout this chapter. While I have not travelled in Russia in winter I have travelled in northern Canada. The thought of being in an open sleigh on the shortest day, no matter how many bear skins (malodorous or otherwise) makes me shiver. As for the daylight hours, i am surprised they are as long as 7 hours. Somehow I imagined it to be like Canada, 5-6 hours. Riga must be further south, in comparison. Great story. Very tense. Glad Grainger is travelling with a tension-reliever!😉😚
  21. This epilogue is doing wonders for my understanding of this insanely bizzarro family! Unlike some of your other readers, Mark, who seemed to be able to keep the complexities in their frontal lobes, I needed a note book! Even then I seemed to be continually surprised. A very enjoyable summation/revelation. The statement that family "is the ultimate social unit" (or so thinks Brad) is one of those statements that feels all nice and cuddly on the surface, but at a deeper level is very 19th century and the sort of thinking that actually doesnt help the growth of civil society (IMHO anyway!) Thank you for writing intelligent fiction.

    Chapter 30

    Grainger slumming as a sailor! Whodathunk! What a great twist! This brilliant a story, just keeps getting brighter! Blood marvelllous Thanks!

    Departure

    Interesting tale, well written. Thanks

    Decision

    Interesting retelling of the Atlantis myth. The description of the fight was excellent: economical with words but enough detail to make it easy to visualise.

    Chapter 29

    "His normally effective remedy for such situations, to envision a naked Lady Elgin, was fortunately effective in this case as well." what an amazingly line! The very thought of that of Lady is enough to make any man impotent! great chapter! Glad Granger managed to enjoy the use of a sauna again... thanks
