Why do I get the feeling that this lady "of means' just might be a retired 'working' lady....One who could give old Albert a run for all he owns.... August best get a move on quickly....

So...there is a chance...

Monday, without my pants. Me too and thinking commando!!!

“Then what’s it like?” He leaned back in the booth but he didn’t look relaxed. He looked like a spring being held down. “Because from where I’m sitting, every time I think I’m finally seeing you, there’s another wall behind it. The funeral home. The closet. The girl. The ring. Every single thing I know about you, I had to find out by accident or pull out of you by force. You don’t offer, Owen. You get caught.” He paused. Let that land. “You’re gay. And hiding it. Let's see...just do we know about Ryder??? The only acceptable sandwich is roast beef...forget turkey or ham...and a war could possibly break out over 'others' choices... He works roofing, when not possibly other construction jobs, hence the paint under a thumbnail... He rides a beat-up motorcycle, higher education is a no-no...is he out, loud and proud??? I mean...who in the fu&k does he think he is to spout off like that...exactly where was he the least bit forthcoming? COLE...for god's sake block Owen's number!!!!

I wonder if a group elders will seek out Ephraim and try to bring him to justice, most likely not, but it would be interesting to see. This was a sad and very powerful chapter and well done!

Well, there are no more secrets to be had, other than the ex-wives finding out…and I am sure they are going to be very upset….

Thank you for this! Will you cover both Julian and Darren’s, along with the Vanguards return from Jaffa?

I like the odds providing Reynard hasn’t more help hiding in the shadows….

Phew…I thought there was an ugly confrontation coming up, guess it will be in the next chapter… I thought so…..

I suspect Neil is in transit to Munich…

A profession to be proud of and a secret shared and kept!

Manny is on the upswing and Gris-gris is not what I thought it would be…I figured a recipe using parts of the animal that didn’t make it over the fence…

The Forbidden Knowledge anthology is just about upon us...it will be fun to see how many of us guess just who our 'secret authors' are! Here in Central Massachusetts, the center of the universe, we are experiencing high temps along with an outrageous humidity index; the combined effect will have "feel-like" temps hitting the triple digits...lasting through the Fourth of July! I haven't put the AC in the window just yet; thanks to a bunch of mature trees and shading, the inside of the house stays relatively cool, and the window fan in my bedroom brings cool night air, allowing me to sleep ok...I suspect in a couple of weeks, I just might break down and put the danged thing in. Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July, regardless of where you are! Stay cool everyone, not that you already are!!!

Not Zane Yoder’s son. Not the heir to anything. Not the disappointment. Not— There’s a lot of information in those two sentences…I think the reason for Bert’s frown is that Zane Yoder is not an easy person to deal with…that he has an unsavory reputation. Not the nicest of people.

Thank you as always for this… Doesn't everyone?? It’s biting social satire, not romance," Zach muttered, staring stubbornly at the rubber bar mat. "And I didn’t even know you knew who she is. Was.’

Amen brother, I was thinking the same thing…

A couple of things…love the following…mom can handle nearly any situation other than… Emory,” Mary Beth breathed. “One last question. You’re not a liberal now, are you?” Kade needs to go to the clinic, then have a meeting with the police…

The difference in the social strata is truly remarkable. And I fear Stanley is stuck as of caught in cement. All credit is due to both Oliver and Timothy for their impeccable manners and sociability.

The noose is getting tighter and they are leaving clues like crumbs… Loved the idea of of converting what they could into gemstones…

And frankly not give a damn…

Ya gotta remember, there’s at least two kinds of oral….oaths…

Thank you for sharing this with us!

There will be bloodshed, no one is coming out of this unscathed…Acosta, if he had any common sense, would have the cattlemen and cowboys turn Ephraim over… And I wonder, where is the new fanged pistol…

Ummm…..

And what is Ryder not disclosing… And, @Summerabbacat, you forget Madame Zelenska is the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, who also was a seventh daughter…you’d have to ask @weinerdog for his family tree…and, all were notorious coffee addicts, and loved to dance the Hokey Pokey… Ryder is alarmingly perceptive. He either has a crystal ball, tarot cards or tea leaves to rival those which have been passed down through @weinerdog's family from his great, great, grandmother Madame Zelenska, a Czech fortune teller of mixed Slavic and Romany blood, or he is a very astute observer of people. I suspect it is the latter. Not bad for a construction worker (maybe he is related to David
