You've caught me off guard!!! Good chapter, and the interplay with Travers got me to thinking...are they growing apart? I'm not entirely certain, but I feel the love they've experienced in the past has diminished somewhat. I guess it would be inevitable that Granger's love would taper off since he's also in love with....lesseee...three or four others and in lust with everyone else! There's only so much room, I would think, for love. Anyway, they'll work it out or maybe not, we'll see. Can't wait for the next chapter, now that he's headed for England. Jervis must have put some recommendations for George in his dispatches to the Admiralty so I'm anxious to see what you have in store. Love this story!!
