    Dame Vivienne

    This story is like a ride on a scenic highway, with lovely views around every corner, not forgetting to ask... suck my dick... please?

    Chapter 17

    Well, if it weren't Duncan's wife, I would have to blame the butler or Inspector Gadget.... Looking forward to Book Three, and then there's the following....I'm concerned for Sam... Something pressed against his hand, prompting him to remove it from his pocket. In his palm lay the two forgotten phials of gryphon ash, purchased from Rafe the night before. He swore the ash would only be used in an emergency, and he meant to keep that promise. Opening a compact pocket of one of his bags, he stashed the phials and stepped back warily, as though they would tumble out on their own and call to him.

    Something still seems off. Where was the town watch, Duncan's wife? Regardless...let's hope they've seen the last of this place come morning!

    Chapter 36

    The die is cast, and just who is Bennedetto to refuse to submit to the orders of his church?? Where would the church be if every priest felt the same way?? He's a cancer that requires intervention... “If he will not come to it,” another said, “then it must come to him.” Lorenzo gave a small nod. There was no order in it. No emphasis. Only the removal of delay. “Then it must conclude,” the first said. “And he must answer,” said another. “Or be judged.”
  6. To each their own predictions, but Thomas suffers from inheriting his father's sickness....
  7. It sounds to me that those tutors were more of the "hands-on" variety....
  8. Someone has it bad... Nathan smiled, "So we both had the same concerns about our relationship and being together. You know I actually find that strangely comforting." "How about I go with you to collect more clothes?" "Wouldn't you rather just look around Adelaide?" "I'd just rather be with you." Martin is coming to the point where he needs to be completely upfront with Nathan... This was another topic Martin didn't want to open up about at this time and he desperately tried to formulate an answer. He didn't need to bother. It wasn't a question, which became obvious as Nathan continued, "Of course you are. They sent you over here to help sort out a work problem, and according to Ray you made the decision for him stay employed and have therapy. They obviously value your role."

    Chapter 24

    Thank you for this, and I thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to end. I fervently hope you find a way to continue this in a second book, and understand if you choose not to. It is just the greedy reader in me. And then a memory that didn’t feel entirely like his own. Declan’s voice. The passage tombs at Carrowkeel are cruciform. Three chambers not two. They had never reached the third. &&&&& The thought arrived the way the important things always arrived. Without announcement. Without drama. Just quiet and certain and already in motion. He needed to go back. Back to Ireland. Back to the farmhouse. Back to the ruined tomb. This is one of the best stories I've read so far this year, and I thank you for that!
  10. I have read this and highly recommend this story, a true delight to read, and a reminder for all of us to remember our LGBQ elderly neighbors.
  11. Here in the center of the universe, Central Massachusetts, the long-range forecast has both Saturday and Sunday as rainy days, with clearing on Monday...followed by more rain on Tuesday and Wednesday....Sheesh.... I've been restoring a pre-WW2 car as a hobby, I call it my fundsarelow project. It has taken the better part of fifteen years, as I worked on it when the funds weren't low. Finally, it is registered, insured, and has license plates. I had plans to use it over the holiday weekend and had been asked to drive it in our small-town Memorial Day parade, but if it is raining...all bets are off...fingers crossed. We have a few elderly veterans who can no longer walk, and I am praying I can use the car; if not, then my daily driver. Wishing everyone a safe, enjoyable, BBQ'ing holiday weekend!!!
  12. I suggest Valium.....for both the child and myself....🤔

    Chapter 16

    The times they are a changing….Rashid was given something to think about, will it take hold? I’m still hoping for a fever to take him to Allah. When the religious zealots run out of things to blame for their misfortunes, they get even uglier….And no one in our traveling party is safe from them. An army of ten thousand approaches, the only chance is to strike them as they approach, hit them when they are tired from their march… Ashot, where is he and what is he up to? I am convinced his love for Stephen will bear fruit for the cause… Spring is coming…right??
  15. Bingo, I had much the same thought, it was the way he flashed out of there that convinced me…
  16. Same recipe as Coke Zero??
  17. Looks like Joe’s sell by date hasn’t been reached….
  18. Shy William is not so shy any more. I wonder what the story is with his parents?

    Chapter 35

    Benedetto’s actions and sermons, while stirring unrest and unease among lower classes, are having a powerful effect otherwise. The major religious houses can see the support they depend on threatened by the instability Benedetto preaches. He has in fact, far overreached his proper role in the scheme of things. By not directly condemning or confronting him, Lorenzo and his fellow merchants have allowed him to become a problem for his superiors to “manage”.

    Dante/Frank

    Time, it is said, heals all wounds…this estrangement between Dante and Alice, hopefully will pass or ease with time. I suspect there could be workarounds for Dimmi to attain his freedom…he could always be sold to someone like Alice with the agreement that she would free him… Matthew is sort of pissing me off knowing the stuff in his closet would not welcome the light of day…he owes much to the Mitchels and others, and he should make peace with his miserable self… What is the status with Mistress Carolyn? I find it amusing that Dante is a tad jealous over Dimi’s first word…how long till he tells Frank to talk to his son over some mischief Dimi got into???
  22. There’s always the possibility it may be that someone else is the father…
  23. Thank you for sharing this with us!
  24. Thomas is, if he isn’t already, a psychopath….devoid of empathy or understanding that it isn’t just his world, one filled with bit players. The question becomes, will Leo completely surrender and lose out on a connection with Kenny?
