    Chapter 22

    George's analytical mind, aided by Weston's information, has exposed Lady Elgin's devious plot. I think the plot lies with her father than herself. Fortunately, Lord Elgin is proving to have more fortitude than he's shown.

    Chapter 21

    One dashing nobleman much more than simply kissed and one damsel in distress saved, thankfully the latter without a kiss. No good deed goes unpunished. As they are pummeled by the storm, George is tortured by his isolation and loneliness. I hope things look up for him.

    "We're gonna be fine." Clearly they will not be fine because they won't stop hunting them.
  4. I have to wonder if these nightmares are a new phenomenon with Nathan or something he's had before?

    Chapter 20

    Lady Elgin, spreading joy and cheer everywhere she leaves.

    Chapter 19

    This was a magnificent display of verbal dueling from George.

    Chapter 18

    George neatly defanged Lady Elgin and set the framework to defuse the gossip. One would deserve sainthood to tolerate that woman.

    Chapter 17

    I think keeping the Elgin's on the gun deck would be nice.

    Chapter 16

    Other than Lady Elgin's shrewish presence, George's luck is holding and a valuable prize is in sight.

    Chapter 15

    George is more disturbed his anger cracked his facade than his relationship with Caroline is torn. He no longer trusts her and trust is the hardest quality to earn back once broken.

    Chapter 14

    George managed to horrify Caroline and mend his relationship with Freddie. Not a bad day's work.

    Chapter 13

    George's father is as skilled at the court battlefield as his son is at sea.

    Chapter 12

    No wonder Freddie has made himself scarce. On Caroline's part, she's embarrassed and knows how much it would hurt George to find out Freddie had sex with her.

    Chapter 11

    The scene with King George sitting and enjoying the tales of the seamen was both amusing and compelling. It can only raise the King's opinion if Granger. This incident with Caroline is bad for both of them. William is clearly attached to his father.

    Stay tuned for The Mystery of the Missing Majesty.

    Chapter 10

    Caroline's reluctance to be transparent about her dalliance with Treadway has George vexed and lonely, marring his enjoyment and honor of hosting the King's family. He is in a trap of his own making. He didn't demand her fidelity, only that she be discreet and she has done so.

    Chapter 9

    Spencer has piled a plethora of problem tasks on George. Sometimes it sucks to be good at all you do.

    Chapter 8

    It was a unique opportunity for Caroline and the children to experience sailing on George's ship.

    Chapter 7

    The action allows Valiant to show her charms and she draws her first blood in battle. Very thrilling.

    Chapter 6

    St. Vincent's illness must be short-lived. I believe he replaces Spencer as First Lord in a couple of years. He had an extraordinarily long lifespan for this time, dying at 88.

    Chapter 5

    It was amusing to watch Hornblower attempting to navigate the unknown waters of society.
  22. Only half a dozen? Don't forget the French sipping whiskey, Jacques Daniel.

    Chapter 4

    George has put the agony of Travers' death comfortably behind him, so this young relatives presence should cause him no pain.
  24. drpaladin

    Chapter 3

    Organizing the refit would have to be annoying for George as a man of action yearning to get his new ship out to sea and try her out.

    Chapter 2

    When I think of Horatio Hornblower, I inevitably think of Gregory Peck.
