Our hero is able to charm the French, the spanish, some of the top brass in England and even some of the Ottomans, but when get gets an enemy be it a Wilcox or Sawyer, he gets an implacable enemy. Great story, love Hornblowers role. Thank you.

I am very much enjoying the story, but I am warning you, one more self centred, idiotic, unthinking juvenile outburst by our hero, Cal, and I will personally intervene and slap him. He really is a well drawn if infuriating character. Looking forward to next installment...😆

can't quite see how he'll end up in gaol again. There is still hate speech and defending yourself against hate speech must count for something.... you'd hope. Meanwhile I am not sure there is a pit deep enough for Mark, unless his rant hid deeper pain....

Great story. Two things; the 1k word limit on chapters, why? I read the story in one sitting so it didnt meqn much to me, but if i was limited to 800 words a week, i would have gone stir crazy! Second. If this story about how the US military treats its wounded returned service personnel is based on fact then I am even ore disgusted by them that i thought. Treys treatment was verging on criminal. Other than that I really enjoyed it, looking forward to the sequel!

"I am convinced she is not a woman, but the spawn of some mountain creatures sent to destroy humanity,..." what a perfect description of someone you truly hate!!

having just read "Odyssey" in almost-but-not-quite one sitting, it is an amazing tale. while for purposes of literature it was always going to end well, the twists and turns, the successes and, failures, conniving and conniptions on the path have made this a truly wonderous tale. Congratulations. Now if Americans could only sort out and differentiate between their donkeys and their arses....

i am surprised that Granger was not more impressed by the Alhambra. While the new palace would have been similar to what Granger had seen in GB, the Alhambra is something a hell of a lot more cultured, cultivated and beautiful than anything else in Europe at that time.

I, too, am rereading the story with the same attempt to forget the future!, it gets harder the closer I get.... But that the story still keeps my interest and the tension is still tension shows me that our friend Mark Arbour is a master writer!

Bertie is a bastard......

Someone said that the path of true love doesnt run smoothly, never moreso with our hero! Poor bugger. Enjoying the story. Thanks.

I love how the story is evolving. Very satisfying! Thanks.

Do you realise how bloody awful it is having people who have never met you, describe your life? Up until age 22 i was a charicature of my own life, one, you Method, dear, have satirized perfectly!

I had my old topsiders, looking slightly worse for wear, until 1999 or 2000 when i moved to Canada. They were worth every penny paid for them!

Northern Exposure: General Discussion
Canuk replied to Mark Arbour's topic in Mark Arbour Fan Club's Topics
Great start to a story. So many names from the past coming back! Thanks Mark, we have missed our mate Granger! -
"He's a bit of a hottie"; youd hope that would be every parents response to whoever their child brings home....☺

An American "Sloane Ranger"? Tho' like the Preppy, while they had been around for ages, as a group they were only defined in the 80s.
-
No, not boring at all! Having studied comparative religion, i am fascinated by others discussions!
-
Sorry, I have to admit i am an Arbour junky.... sad, but true....😍

I sense the beginning of a very complex story.....
-
Absolutely smashing chapter. The pace, the surprise, the dialogue, all brilliant. You also nailed the male/female teenager thought processes too. He is so concentrating on his on sexuality and coming out he is oblivious to what is ahppening around him. She, while sorting out her own issues, is fully aware of others and how they are fitting in. Masterful. Thanks.

"Failure to communicate" is a massive understatement. Sometimes you really have to wonder if some people manage to get their bodies to age, but their comon sense remains that of a 7 year old....

The Vicissitudes of Virgo
Canuk commented on JamesSavik's story chapter in The Vicissitudes of Virgo
"Never quote scripture in therapy, it never ends well"! I can imagine! Our hero is a veritable innocent lamb, albeit an intelligent one. It will be interesting to see how his academic tests come back. If the tests test "knowlege", he won't do well, however if they test ability to think an issue through, he may do well. -
Happy to have more. And i would suggest very realistic. Great haracters that are very diffrent, but ultimately fit together. The hard part for them moving forward will be how to be together during late teens/early 20s. Congrats . well written.
