    Chapter 27

    They seemed to have weathered suspicion for now, but eyes will be on them. Will it cause them to step back from each other again?

    Chapter 1

    But curtains are so tempting.
  3. There are worse things he could be called than Theo or Theodore. The titular character in Leave it to Beaver was named Theodore, but called Beaver.
  4. Cacoethes. I knew there must be a term for these odd impulses which pop into my mind.

    Chapter 24

    I'd say it ultimately depends on what the Sylerikon will tolerate. I don't think two AOM's at the same time will work.

    Chapter 24

    One Stoker was a challenge, two were inevitability. The worst of the time disruption and Dottie's meddling is fixed at last. Oh my, two Stokers. I bet Thomas would like some spare Hugos so he could have one for his own.
  7. Theo is as oblivious as Ryder to the mate flags.
  8. Oh, Jack is so Jackish. How did Jack go from being a squirrel to a mouse?

    Chapter 26

    You do realize by this time in Grangerland, the panoply of sex acts onboard would have exceeded a half dozen Roman orgies in total. I'm beginning to wonder at the virility of the crew.

    I wish Avery had been less conscientious.

    Chapter 25

    Battling unknown ills is a crap shoot even in the modern age of medicine. It's concerning this illness seems to have no breaking point.

    Chapter 24

    Fever, fire, storms, and reefs are all shipboard terrors which are near impossible to escape. Jaime may have revealed a bit too much before the doctor.

    Chapter 23

    If Vane had been left behind, would there have been gossip. Maybe. Would anyone have really blamed Jaime? I doubt it. Meanwhile Vane's still pissed at losing his frigging sword.

    It's a good thing all these repressed passions don't generate physical heat else our poor frigate would put the sun to shame.

    I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Chapter 21

    What lies behind Huxley's thinking? Vane seems a poor choice for a mission.

    Chapter 20

    I have a friend who served in Vietnam. He has two wicked wounds on his chest matched by worse exits on his back. He remarked, "That's what an M16 will do." "An M16?" "Sometimes all your enemies aren't on the other side."

    Chapter 19

    Vane truly is a lowly blackguard. He feels he is untouchable, but he's not. He's made too many enemies here for his own good.

    Chapter 18

    Where's a handy Limehouse rogue with a quick cosh to slip Vane into the welcoming waves when you need him?

    Chapter 17

    To commit a sin and be caught is one thing, but to be maligned for a sin only thought is a monstrous crime. I thought back aboard ship it might be better if Robsy never saw the shore. These types and their machinations rarely end well for those they touch. I for one am hoping for Blake's secret sunset.

    Chapter 23

    Cerberus sounds a lot like Hugo's old buddy, the Mech.
  22. The doorman was right, this is their sort of place.

    Chapter 16

    I'm stuck on hedgehogs in waistcoats.

    Chapter 15

    We already knew Adams did nothing with Jaime. Now we know all Adams had with Pitt was an unrequited love. It seems more unclear now why Adams pointed Jaime at Pitt when he knew the impossible challenge he would face.
  25. Brontide is often heard from distant battles.
