If they keep shifting in front of people... Of course the powers that be would want to keep this quiet to avoid panic.
-
It's exactly what it means.

Devin's Hulk persona attracted more attention than they thought and people made accurate connections. The toy campaign was even more successful than last year. This will be a project difficult to leave behind.

I enjoy stories with embedded narratives. The beginning of dragonriders being unknown to our little group shows again how much history they are ignorant of.
-
Cliche? The problem with this line of thought is these skills would be fairly common given the level of tech, especially in Brohm's case where he grew up close to the land.
-
This makes the second time Nathan left his bow. And don't these two know how to live off the land?

Oh yeah, let the guy you can't trust take off after you've told him you'll never see him again after he helps you. Besides, there's another guy there they don't even know.

There are some periwigs in Mark Arbour's Bridgemont series, but the term doesn’t appear there -
See a French 74?

I assumed Cosmo might be a nickname or a simplification of his real name. The only character who comes to mind with the name is Cosmo Topper, the somewhat befuddled banker with ghostly friends. Only his wife called him Cosmo.
-
Cosmo's 'secret' isn't so secret, it seems everyone knows. Now when he is cajoled to go back to work he has no job. Perhaps I f he had returned yesterday, but it's too late now. Another blow to his fragile self-esteem.

Chapter 7 - Aboard the Cometskipper
drpaladin commented on Adam Andrews Johnson's story chapter in Chapter 7 - Aboard the Cometskipper
Phentrom is family. It's been a bit since we heard the he's a synthetic argument. -
Gatling's last words were terrible. It reminds me of Lady Kendal and Lady Gatwick, bearing grudges to the end.
-
I'm finally caught up with the series so I can fully enjoy it.

The classic "You don't know who I am" response. LOL -
Chapter 81: Final Chapter
drpaladin commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Chapter 81: Final Chapter
It's appropriate we end with Calvert, the only viable love George feels he has left. The Duchess' story was a good moral play. George's aunts lived profoundly unhappy lives due to unreasonable expectations and carrying lifelong grudges. Mark, this was a remarkable story blending fiction into history and I truly enjoyed it. -
The sun rose in the West and St. Vincent apologized. I can understand why George's feelings about Gatling's death are muted. He gave Gatling a place on his ship, guided and promoted him, and then he took Calvert away and was uncivil about it.
-
I thought it was sudden to send William away to school and now we know why. He looked Caroline in the eye and told her what she is and she couldn't take it.
-
Caroline's threats were predictable and impotent. The gift from the Tsar far eclipses Daventry's from the Dowager Empress, but sobering as it is payoff and dismissal.
-
With the earldom, elevation to the Privy Council, and additional wealth, George is nearly unassailable.

Chapter 5 - Healing
drpaladin commented on Adam Andrews Johnson's story chapter in Chapter 5 - Healing
Knowing they have this power is hardly a threat to them. -
Indeed. He did make a powerful enemy in Pitt due to his relentless reforms of the dockyards and he had to resign as First Lord.
-
The mirrors were priceless. Freddie's stupidity is extraordinary. Despite being a near recluse, Lady Kendal kept up with the family very well. She must have had excellent sources.
-
George has a complete view of all which has been happening now. Caroline and even his typically astute father have been shortsighted. By sending his own legal representative to the reading of Lady Kendal's will, the King is showing he supports George.
