    Fair greetings to the Off The Wall Gang... and dugh...

    Ah... now I see. Yeah, that fellow was Jubal's only good experience after Vincent. It was a fleeting thing, and that one never crossed my mind to write either. Vincent is married to a woman now, so unless I change that, it isn't a good avenue to take either. It's nice to be asked, though, and so is your encouragement. Thanks, buddy.

    Hi, all! Feel more human this morning.

    Thanks, my friend. I'm being good, I promise. After having pneumonia in January, I'm paranoid of prolonging this. My eyes have almost stopped watering, and that is a real blessing. I can watch some TV now.

    Hi, Les! Thank you. Fifth time. Wow, that's great to hear. You must be meaning Vincent. I never thought of writing that story, but to be honest I have a hundred stories in my head with new ones butting in all the time. I never know what direction I will take until it happens. Glad you are enjoying Roping the Moon. It's been fun so far. And yes, I am feeling better... compared to a couple of days ago.

    Thanks, Chris. I'm able to eat now, so that should help.

    Thanks, Patrick. That means a lot to me. So far so good with Harriet. She's warm and loving, but also a no nonsense type of woman. I believe Augustus has indeed been blessed.

    It would if she really was a friend of Dorothy. Sorry... I'm so close to getting these comments answered, but I'm am covered in a full body sweat. I need to lay down.

    Hey, Leo. It took my son two weeks to get over it, so I might have a ways to go. It hasn't been fun, and i appreciate the good wishes from everyone. What is a story without a cliffie or two? Glad you found this one sweet and intriguing.
  12. Headstall
    You're welcome, neil. So pleased you liked it. Twists and turns? There might be one or two. I'm looking forward to it too, and hopefully I'll be back to normal soon.

    Lol. Sorry... not sorry. I agree... grannies are the best. I had two completely different ones, but I loved them dearly. Does she know? Possibly.... Oh, me too. I have loved Dolly forever. That is a great visual. I would bet that Maureen, being such a reader as a child, came up with such a noble name. Thanks for this, my friend. It gave me a lift to read all these wonderful comments while feeling so ill.

    Didn't you just love that she was wearing trousers? Harriet is not conventional, that's for sure. I guess it would be convenient if she was in a relationship with Dorothea... it would make acceptance easier. Love your speculation, friend. Something was confusing to August... whatever could it be. Thanks!

    Thank you, Chris!!

    Hello, my lovely friend. Harriet lives a grand life in a grand home for sure. Is there some gaydar going on? I won't tell. This chapter was important, so I'm pleased you liked the reunion. As far as Willy James, maybe it wasn't a smart idea to let him travel alone. It was asking a lot of someone so inexperienced. Fingers crossed. Wealthy lads? Hmmm... or.... The early chapter is because I expected I was going to feel pretty bad on Monday, and I was right. I think I'm on the mend... but it's hard to tell. It changes from minute to minute.

    Hello, centex. The storm is breaking... but there is non stop coughing now. And a headache that doesn't want to let go. I will admit Harriet and Dorothea seem awfully close, don't they? I have a soft spot for grandmothers, and Harriet was a bright light in my mind when I thought of her. I see her as a rebel for her time, fiercely independent and loving. I have no doubt she will be a gran for all. As far as Barnswallow, I think we all eagerly await its appearance. It won't be long now. I agree... Runyan won't forgive himself if misfortune befalls Willy James. So happy you're enjoying this, my friend.
  18. Headstall
    Uh... possibly...
  19. Headstall
    Exactly. It took the care of them out of other's hands, so it was convenient for everyone.
  20. Headstall
    Absolutely. Spinster ladies were expected to live together.

    I don't think a hot toddy would be a good idea, spyke. I am trying to take care of myself, though. Love all the speculation. You're a clever bunch, but I hold the power, right? You are so kind to say you feel in the room. Your praise is expressed so well, and I truly appreciate the boost. For me, it's about hard work and attention to detail... to every aspect of a scene. I write the scene, and then turn it upside down and backwards to see if the feel and balance are there. Sometimes I get it right the first time, but usually not quite. Thanks for this, my friend.

    Thanks, Albert. It was an important chapter in this book, this reunion of Harriet and August. And of course I had to leave readers guessing at the end of it. There is nothing I enjoy than revealing things through dialogue. We learn a lot in this one. Appreciate the kind words.
  24. Headstall
    Harriet does appear to appreciate quality things, and that would indicate Barnswallow is far from a ruin. We know from an earlier chapter than Brewster had money and left her some. We don't know how much but it's obvious she isn't hurting for money. Thanks, Doc.
  25. Headstall
    Love the speculation. Would I have named Dorothea for any such reason?
