When I ran into the term "barrow job", the reference that came to mind, was a barrow, as in a hand cart ("Desmond has a barrow in the market place") . A barrow job would then be a job done by an itinerant worker, dragging his tools around in his work truck. I have no idea if this is correct, but given the probable age of the term , I think this is a reasonable guess.

Re Matt's father. If he couldn't keep it in his pants as a teen, why would he be able to now? -
Daniel's illness saddens me, but 1992.

Call me cynical, but "Yes, Sir" from two four-year-olds in combination with the foster father's attitudes raises a big red flag. What went on in the foster home?

My idea about what is up is rather darker. Ludo and Damian were not in the house overnight where she expected them to be. I can imagine she set them up to be abducted or killed. Did she try to sell them?

This is a creepy start to the story,

The Glennister History
Thomas Haworth commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in The Glennister History
About the popularity of Nazi ideology: In Gaudy Night by Dorothy Sayers, written in the 1930's, she has a character who is a porter in a women's college of Oxford University. He does not like women having power and says "what we need is an 'Itler". There were traditionalists of all types in sympathy with parts of the Nazi cause.- 18 comments

I love the fact that the story is getting into the existential questions dealing with the old ones.

About Jupiter/ Jove: This confusion is a result of Latin grammar. 'Jupiter' is the form used as the subject of a sentence. In all the other places in a Latin sentence, the name is 'Jov-' plus a case ending for the exact role in a sentence. Sorry for the pedantry -- I am a retired academic, and explaining Latin cases to English speakers gets tedious.

I find this statement intriguing, especially since, in an earlier chapter in the saga, George stated that as a prince his odds of a success are only 50%. Hmmmmm.

Those $5000 payments worry me. Why so much, and what were they for? -
Dare I hope that Lisa's larger office would be that formerly occupied by one Joshua Thomas?

Owain and Mhairi have reason to be grateful that the trustees were not under their father's control -- otherwise I suspect the money would have disappeared. -
Cousin David & the cabin

Jasper wanting to take Deirdre somewhere else, possibly out of the country is a very bad sign. Isolating a partner from friends and family is one thing abusers do.- 13 comments

An amusing bit of comic relief, though I suspect our author is setting things up for some interesting action later.

Deirdre knew what she was doing, dumping Toby on Brian at the first possible moment, as awkwardly as possible. The fact that Toby cannot get into the house is the icing on the cake. I look forward to the court case that is inevitable at this point. Also, I found the scenes with the jobsworth and Miss Wilson very interesting. Brian stood up for his son, in ways that I suspect Deirdre never has. I suspect Miss Wilson knows (or at least suspects) more about what is going on between Toby and his mother that Toby realizes. I eagerly await the next chapter.

I agree. One of the things it shows is how good a relationship Brian has with his mum.

My compliments on the first few paragraphs (and the rest). You managed to put me as the reader in the middle of the action, with minimal exposition. Your opening is the epitome of "show, don't tell." I am looking forward to seeing where things go from here.

The Reluctant Action Hero. This story is simultaneously satisfying and unnerving. Great work!

Actually the law that protects students is FERPA, which applies to college and university students, so professors must be careful talking to parents about their offspring.

I will be very interested to see what (if anything) calms Alec's fear. Getting rid of the fear may be a long process.
