    Chapter 7

    The power of plausible deniability. Andrew knows Will's greatest power is his stolid honesty. The same honesty places Andrew in the lonely spot of not sharing this ticking bomb with Will. He also can't use all the resources at his command because it'll leave a trail. The Knot Sunk Yet is at the bottom of the river, but the proud ship Will is still sailing, for now.

    Chapter 40

    William and Jaime finally have their release of passion, a single sip which must mark their promise of love for an unknown length of time.
  3. I was afraid for a moment Tawni would give in to curiosity and take an unnecessary risk.

    Chapter 8

    A morning of inadvertent hand grenades.
  5. We need more organizations which sublimate anger and violence.

    Somebody hasn't had their coffee yet.

    Chapter 6

    Now we know what the card meant. It's a smear job. I find it impossible to believe Will would be unfaithful. At least Andrew has a jump on this to cut it off.
  8. We begin to see the strategy behind Duke's plan. This latest hit will cement this new alliance.

    The Lone Wolf

    "Do you think his thing is as big as the rest of him?" LOL

    Chapter 39

    Chance connections have brought them to this point, Blake to Pitt on Absolute, the capture of Belle Therese, attracting the attention of the Chevalier de Guise, and now admiral Rowley. They both held their own. Attention can be bad or good. For now it's to the good side.

    Prologue

    It's often attributed to Churchill, but when asked about it he said, "I never said it. I wish I had."
  12. Tawni is very talented. We can see the finer qualities Bix also sees.

    Chapter 7

    Oh my! Lydia is truly off the scale. She pulls no punches. The boys have inadvertently thrown themselves into the deep end of the pool.
  14. On the slope of a volcano, you would prefer its quiescence.

    Amen.

    Chapter 5

    I remember the terror filled night stranded in the snow storm. Thanks for the memory!
  17. Yeah. It would take a hard blow to break a porcelain plate on a flat surface.

    Chapter 38

    British law of the period is interesting. Since a baronet isn't a peer, he's tried in court. Until 1841, there was no punishment for peers on a first offense, except for treason or murder. The House of Lords only tried 30 cases, with 29 getting death. So peers of the realm were virtually immune from prosecution or arrest. Which is why Granger in Odyssey could laugh at Maidstone's man after George bribed a guard to release Dr. Jackson from prison where he was to be hanged.

    Chapter 38

    I wondered about Vane getting away with his nasty letters while on lockdown. Huxley got beaten by Vane's once. It wasn't happening again. Now all his tongue can do is hang his conspirators with him.
  20. It seems everyone wants a piece of Lyn and he's handling the juggle badly. I think Alexander's, "Let's go home.", says more about where he wants this to go than anything.

    Chapter 6

    Both dads are more sensitive and perceptive than anyone thought. No tropes there.
  22. Merriam Webster must have been Thomas Wolfe's dictionary.
  23. Thomas Wolfe was unaquainted with nostomania.

    Chapter 4

    Dunno. Lifetime supply of coffee and ridiculous money. It's more honorable than politics.

    Chapter 4

    Will blindsides everyone by becoming the spokesperson for Tim Horton's.
