I was reading this at the gym this morning while on the treadmill, and dang it...you had me reaching for the tissues once again. What a marvelous chapter in so many ways... I can't add anything that isn't mentioned in the comments above other than to note... So fricking true to life, Ollie is so damned lucky to have Uncles Chris and Andre... I want to be a part of this, and I have my own pitchfork, anyone got extra torches???

Well now...what could possibly go wrong/right... By the end of this Oscar may need the entire book of Lottery Tickets...

Thank you, this chapter was a masterclass in development, particularly pacing. The descriptions were so vivid it was like being there!!! Well done!!

Humm...your readers might beg to differ...just saying...

What a fresh, original, and fantastic start to this story, looking forward to the next chapter!!!!

The tension and drama are building slowly as the time for the meeting draws near...then there are all the comments adding to the mix...confusing all of us with all the possible twists and turns and to think, only 17 or so chapters to go!! Mr. Black has no clue what the Korner has planned for him...

So many questions.... When did Commander McIntyre's father pass; before his accident, during, or while he was recovering...or is it something he can't/doesn't remember??? When was the house sold?? did anyone from the Commander's father set up mail forwarding? I'm hooked, looking forward to the next chapter..

With all the weapons, will they in turn become what those they are supplanting?

Wonder what these folks truly think of Francis Heyward??? There is something dodgy and underhanded at paly here... The only slippery moment was when I heard Dan mentioning to Suki about visiting the Nemon palazzo and the Scarpa intervention. I couldn’t resist throwing in about the Pontormo and how lucky they were to be able to acquire it from Francis Heyward, but it was a shame to spit up the two. You could almost feel the air freeze. Suki made a brief comment about the Nemon palazzo then briskly moved on to other modern gardens in the area,

I think what was overlooked was the healing he brought not only to his sister, but his father who apparently had a heart/outlook/emotional reckoning/a near come to Jesus moment/ finally understanding the error of his ways transplant(s)... This chapter had it all, so many twists and turns kind of had me going...and I'm not just talking outta my backside...

And changing driving licenses or passports isn't a problem then????

With that much cash they should have been using credit cards instead...

Offering a job, interesting...and doing exactly what???

I get the feeling that Rabiah just might be the one to take Cormac's place...and that somehow through all of this Nathan's arm is healed...

It is my understanding that Jesus put 'paid' to the strictures of the Old Testament, that they no longer applied to his followers. Ironically the New Testament gave birth to what is referred to as 'Woke'. Then you have the interplay/schisms/antagonisms that exist betwixt all the different groupings of 'believers', that all those who worship differently, must see the error of their ways and ascribe to the one true faith... And one wonders why some folks can't see/understand why our founding fathers insisted on a secular society... So very true...

I looked at your weather for today, here in the central Massachusetts area we've just had our first official heat wave, with temps in the high to mid 90 degrees (F) and the humidity making it feel over 100 degrees(F)!! By contrast your weather seems balmy and quite comfortable... temprature in sydney au today - Search (bing.com)

Well, that explains a lot....Can this ability(ies) be used to make their part of the world safer?

Well if Oscar hasn't bought that lottery ticket, perhaps someone could buy him a scratch ticket!!! He just seems to attract all the wrong sorts of incompetent officialdom...growing up I used to read a comic strip called Peanuts, often the lead character would be shown with a raincloud over his head, could Oscar be a doppelganger???

Keith can relax a bit as his comment back put the 'uneducated' fool back in her space, just a step above the gutter IMO... Isobel will fund the restoration with Jonty's photos documenting the restoration work... I read this chapter earlier this morning whilst plodding along on a treadmill before going to be tortured by the trainer as it was leg day in an attempt to stave off the decrepitude of the advancing years...and in the stifling humidity of the gym, I could sympathize with the boys after their run... At a quiet spot off the road, halfway round, they stopped, both pink and sweating, Keith felt he must look like a drowned rat. After getting their breaths back, Thomas grinned at him and apologised, perhaps this wasn’t such a good idea after all. With his t-shirt and shorts damp and clinging, Thomas’ clothes didn’t do much to hide his modesty and despite feeling shattered

Olona is very lucky to have good friends, here's hoping for a quick recovery...

One hopes that Matt will know the moment as to when to jump, but the title indicates otherwise... One wonders if either Kyle Jackson or Samatha Coleson might or may be keeping tabs on Andrew's whereabouts... I see Dante as a tragic hero per Aristotle's definition...that in the end may his life have a redeeming moment...

Grainger truly has no equal in any sort of confrontational scenario...a master tactician several steps ahead of those who would oppose him. Weather facing cannon fire, political foes, or young princesses in love.... And Calvert truly gets a well-deserved honor...well done Francis...

I think it is time for Oscar to buy a lottery ticket....jeeze, when it rains, it pours!!

Can't disagree with the comments above...Steve is a freaking star I mean...OMG F'UCKING star...Bryan is learning humble pie don't taste so bad after the first forkful,... If it isn't clear by now, this case is over...done...finito...while this tale has a bit more to go...if it were to be a loss, on appeal...the ,...fat lady sang, has sung, warbled her last freaking notes...Kenny...my heart weeps...it will get better...for as long as teenage romances last... Mr. Clark, the A-Hole, and the feminine tailpipe have played their cards...what could they possibly have that would negate everything they claim??? So...what's left...how do you minimize/recover from the damage that has been done??? by any stretch of anyone's imagination there's a lot of broken glass, that somehow needs to be reassembled like a jigsaw puzzle... Then there's this...The sperm doner should take note...tho a doctor should be forced to testify as to you know who having 'balls'...
