Congratulations on your retirement. I hope you have many years of fun and enjoyment during retirement!

Great chapter. I can't wait until Sunday dinner at Escorial. Jack, Luke, Claire, an informed Kris, Will leaving Travis for Boston, Mari leaving Ryan. May be the Sunday dinner of all time. Love it!

Congratulations, Sir Francis!! Great chapter. Like I stated a couple of chapters ago. I love 3somes. And I love Winkler. He is my only second to George as my favorite character in this entire story. Not only a dedicated servant, but a very trusted friend to George. Hope the next chapter comes soon. Love this story.

Well Luke and Claire went very well. Jack may have fucked up this time. Would be really funny if Luke and Claire get real serious. She may be just what Luke has been looking for all this time, and Claire may get a new lease on life. I guess I was hoping JJ might turn out for the better with Kris. But don't know if the little fucker can ever change and just be a lost cause. Great chapter Mark, looking forward for the next one.

Great, great chapter. Granger is riding a high at the moment. I just hope it continues without any hitch's. Sophia may be one, but I think Granger will politely put her in line, or some of his fan's may take care of her keeping her quiet. Hope the next chapter is coming soon.

Very interesting chapter. And it is going to be even more interesting how all this is going to work out. Could have two very fucked up young guys, JJ and Kris. JJ only if Kris falls apart. But I think JJ will both support and cling to Kris and support him. All the rest of the family is going to have to somehow show a real support for the both of them. Not just JJ. Finding out he has no large inheritance coming to rely on. He has to be convinced he can build his own wealth in his investment banking field. Maybe having a substantial investment portfolio from one of the world's wealthiest families to manage will get a huge promotion for him at work. The firm may not have had any of their business in the past. Status and future wealth is what Kris has longed for a while now. I think a family title may become a mute past if his future looks promising and secure. May also give JJ a project to make sure he can show him off with the NYC elite. But there maybe a better way to keep this form being a total disaster, just my thoughts. Looking forward to more.

Another great chapter. Hope to find time to read two more tonight, but will just have to see. Love this story.

Thank you @Bndmetl. Aother Great chapter!

I think in about any story that the characters visit San Antonio, the River Walk will be favored. It's a beautiful place hopping with both locals and tourist. It is probably more popular than the Alamo is. I have enjoyed my time on the River Walk on both my trips to the city.

Thank you for the Great chapter. Story getting better with each one. Looking forward to reading more.

Me too. May still happen, he did marry Will's mom, but again that didn't work out at all.

I think you did a very good job with Will. I believe he is grieving about as much as Liam, he is just looking after him the very best he can. He did look up about grieving and on the internet and probably using a lot of what he learned from it. Very good story so far. Look forward to reading about the road trip.

Sad first chapter, but I think it has the makings of a really great story! Look forward to the next chapter.

Thanks Mark, another very good chapter. Keep up the great work!

Another Great HOT! HOT! HOT! Chapter Mark. I love 3somes, MMF or MMM. Never done a FMF, so I can't speak from experience on that one. Looking forward to Chapter 12.

I was wondering the same thing.

Great Chapter Mark!

You actually made some very good points there. Made me go back and re-read JJ's part. Doesn't say what time Will called, may have been early morning, but regardless Kris actually works for a living and gone all day. Normally working late at times, but did get home 10 minutes before their arrival. Jacinta should have told them that Kris had just gotten home from work. What if Will and Travis's limo had gotten caught up in heavier traffic than normal. Wouldn't have been a big deal with him. And I agree Will should have explained what the plans were for the evening when he called JJ. So maybe I will take back the "Little Bitch" remark I made earlier. But I still think boot camp would be good for him. Will and Travis might be good candidates for boot camp too.

Well after I had began to warm up to JJ, he falls back into being a little bitch again. Maybe he need to join the Army or Marines and go through basic training. Might be the best thing for him to ever be a productive member of society. I am wondering how Jack's other woman is going to act toward him coming back from being in Athen's with Claire. She can't be real happy with that. Thanks Mark, Great Chapter. Waiting to see how the web will spin.

You may be right about Calvert being at a good place to get information and inside scoop on a lot of things at court. But the Treaty and peace didn't last very long. May 1803 it all started again.

Great chapter Mark. Even though his isn't getting a ship any time soon, Calvert seems to have landed at a safe spot for now. It would be great if Carmella and Sofia turned out to be lovers, and Granger could work out a very nice arrangement with them so he does have a beard. By the description of her carriage she may be tight on money. Being a successful opera singer is one thing, but making enough to support her, Sophia, a maid and two footmen and all their expenses has got to be pretty expensive. Carmella being associated with George could really boost her star power and status. I bet George would make sure she could travel in style in a plush carriage too. Sophia might be good as a beard for Cavendish or maybe Calvert if the Royal Princesses tires of him. Hey Granger could fall into a pile of shit and still come up smelling like apple pie. Thanks for the chapter Mark. Keep up the great work. You are appreciated.

I was pleased with how the visit went by. I think kris was really a big hit with Jake and Stef. And Kris seems to have impressed Brad too. I hope he become a lot more involved with the entire family. I have my doubts about Will and Travis being a couple for very long. Thanks for the chapter Mark. Keep up the great work.

Wonderful story! Sorry that it has ended. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that we might hear more from all these guys sometimes in the near future. @Mrsgnomieyou are a very talented author. Keep up the great work. Note! Would have like to have known how Loe and Lars parents died, suicide, accident, or murdered by some of the low life organization that they had climbed in bed with.

Great story. I started off reading and commenting on each chapter, but have been just so busy that to ever get thru the story, I just gave up on that and decided I would just wait until the end. Love all the characters and the story line. I hope we get to see a lot more of some of these guys in the near future. Thank you so much @Mrsgnomieyou and other authors are greatly appreciated for what you do. please keep up you great work.

But it may be after St Vincent has a conversation with the King that he weighs his options and may as @drpaladinstated figure out it is better to have powerful and influential ally, than Chalmers that really is an unknow. Granger did a really good job of building the Kings opinion of Calvert in the past weeks with some of his past feet's. And the King also got to witness in person Calvert's brave escape from the French. St Vincent may not like it, but he is not a fool. If this was a historically true factual story about George Granger and St. Vincent was to go forward with his barring Calvert and possibly exposing the accusations for why. His time as Admiral of the Fleet from the history we now know may have been a lot shorter period of time. As popular and loved by the public as his character is portrayed, and St. Vincent brought these charges up. He would probably have to be surrounded by armed guards anytime he wasn't in the walls of the Admiralty. Great Chapter Mark. You are truly appreciated. Keep up the great work.
