Dolly never forgot where she came from and saw her talent and well-earned wealth as a gift to be shared with others. She was naturally humbled by her fame and never gravitated toward entitlement or snobbery. She will be missed for her music for sure but I think that she will be missed for her beautiful character and integrity even more.

I'm really not liking the humiliation, degradation and contempt that the noble Andy is receiving at the hands of the evil Lucas. I want Andy to take a stand and demand that Lucas treat him with respect. It's just not much fun reading this anymore.

OOPS! My bad... 😐

Loved the chapter! Good to hear that they're making good progress toward Warrensville and Barnswallow. Excellent writing of the confrontation with Regis and Darnell and the appearance of Runyan. Am I the only one who noticed that Regis' friend was Lance at the beginning of the confrontation and Darnell after things cooled down? Hmmm...

I'm surprised that the word Loyalty isn't being used along with Trustworthy and Faithful... Subtle but profound differences and combinations of intent. Maybe... It just seems that there is some 'blind loyalty' going on here...

I don't think it wise to assume that Ali is on the side of helping Lawrence discover the truth. He could also very well be intentionally distracting Lawrence away from the truth.

HEHE... Google tells me that a town named 'Warrensville Heights is in Ohio and that Enniskillen is a town in Northern Ireland... A wee bit more than a month by team. So, I'm guessing that they're headed somewhere in Iowa or Nebraska. Oh well, you've always been a bit cryptic about geographical locations. I live in Minnesota and have been around the Midwest quite a bit so I'm particularly interested in these 'old West' tales and trying to figure out where they are taking place.

Seems to me that Willie James and Runyan's situation isn't too difficult to figure out. My guess is that they will, indeed, be joining August and Fletcher 'out West'. They both have horses and at least some experience with farming/ranching. They could be passed off as hired hands to help move Fletcher's sheep by train. It doesn't seems safe for Runyan to be traveling by wagon for three weeks. Would having Willie James around be a problem for Fletcher, since he was one who introduced Augie to boy fun? I'm still a little confused why they're waiting a month to ship the sheep by train. I guess it makes sense since, in the conversation with the blacksmith, it was stated that it'll take about 3 weeks to get there by wagon whereas the train takes 3 1/2 days. Is Grayson traveling with the sheep alone? Maybe Runyan could go with him or is the younger brother still planning to help move the sheep by train? I'm a little confused about the logistics here and I still wish I could get an idea of the geographical situation. HEHE... the situation is getting complicateder and complicateder...

I missed something... Why is Lawrence being called 'Garth'? When did that start and why?

I don't remember specifically how I found GA, but I do remember the first story I read... 'A to Z' by Parker Owens. I'm guessing that I started reading it on Nifty and I really don't remember how I found Nifty either. What I first liked about the site is the format... easy to read and navigate. I also liked the notifications of new chapters, although I don't have them sent to my email anymore because I pretty much check-in at GA every day and my first stop is 'Content I Follow'. It took me a while to start reading reader's comments and even longer before I started leaving comments myself. I never got into the Forums but I'm starting to look at them more seriously. I think this in the first message on here that I've contributed to. I also like 'The Story Lovers Home' because, even though I can't 'follow' content on there, I get a list of new chapter postings and find updates to stories I'm following.

SO GLAD that they decided find a secluded spot to experiment for their first time! Even though Rob was busy clearing out the 'back room', his new bedroom, I still wouldn't trust him to stay away from Augie and Fletcher's meetin' spot. After all, they've been gone a long time. I'm also happy to hear that Augie wants Fletcher to fuck him too... “I’ll never bet against you, no sir, but if’n you can do it, so can I. Won’t run from your cock neither, and won’t run from you ever again.” (At least, I think that's what he was saying...)

HEHE... Ya know... you can go back and edit a post

I'm so glad that you figured out a way to confirm the 'falling out' between Fletcher and his dad to Albert... HEHE... getting into an argument in town is a great idea... that way there will be witnesses and not just one man's word against another. Roland can always set people straight if they come to him concerned. Then again, I'm guessing that people know that any argument between Fletcher and his dad would be quickly resolved simply because of the kind of people they are known to be.

Wow! Nicely played! I hope that Augie clues Fletcher in on the story and he tells his dad. I would imagine that Albert will take the first opportunity to dig at Roland about it. Good thing there's no phones!

Fletcher did say that he was one of seven children but he didn't say where he was in the line-up.
