The chapter I have been waiting for! Scorched earth is the Schulter way, and its all about to explode like Napalm, indiscriminate carnage. With regards to the rest of the family, other than Marie with a little knowledge, the rest will be thinking all is okay as they haven't been told otherwise. Like most addictions, " showboating" as in a performance of normality for a short period will have been enough, especially over the phone. I foresee careers broken, relationship crushed, when the story breaks, and it will ( how can our esteemed author do otherwise), cast, directors, showrunners will all be cast as participants in keeping Travis pliable or knowingly looking the other way. Running for exits while leaving scapegoats as per the normal response in cases like this. Family fall out will be quite intense between Jake ( guilt) and Brad ( anger) as well as mixed reactions from Stef and JP. Isidore will view it as Wills comeuppance. Now, (rubbing hands together), we await the next instalment! BTW,no holiday here in Australia 🇦🇺. But living here its always a holiday..

His downfall will be while filming he was mistakenly called Julien "Curtis" and rant about all his abuse and how Will is the only one who truly loves him and understands.. Kendo leaves set immediately and no contact. And that's a wrap as he carted off to hospital "nervous breakdown " at the Betty Ford Clinic..

I say.. have him overdose in the next chapter, then the family can all say "they tried" cry and move on and never mention him again. Like the Hayes family, Tim at the Mission, the midwestern Ohio familes

Agree 👍, where is Tonto when you need her? ( I know, dead and buried). Even a Brad slap down about now would help. Jeremy could offer life lessons, as could Claire. I miss all of the above

I was smitten by Ser Val and Ser Ian getting it on. Just wanted to say that it was noticed.

Of all your stories, the Silver Boar series ( to me) is by a big margin the most intense, fascinating, wild, riveting exhilarating..well, fantastic writing of them all.

Ahh, the nemesis of "The Spanish Princess ", and a worthy adversary, the mother of King Henry VII.

Delicious, both this and the preceding chapter.

Im wondering if Palomar was deliberately allowing himself to be seen in the light of an active spy, and then ( perhaps deliberately) missing the ships sailing allowed the other spy ( Herrera!) To inveigle himself into Grangers graces and finally to expose him as an abomination in the eyes of His Most Catholic Majesty's. Now that would be a trap that Granger would need his skills to wriggle from. Luckily his wife is pregnant with child and he has a mistress.

In another story, set in about 2006, 2 teenagers in love from very very wealthy families, older than your group, but the way you express their feelings, hopes, dreams and general failing around, much better in my view. I'm way more invested in Tomas than Travis.. ( yes, I know, different measurements, different styles but...). Genius writing from a 14 to 16 year old youth perspective. Let the trouble begin. Both stories are written well.

After the nightmare , Atreus was bare chested in the cold, yet Cas clung to his linen night shirt. ( Sorry, I'm clearly reading every line and word)

Elderberry, flowers for tea, berries for jam and Elderberry wine. My mother made all three, the jam stains permanent on clothing, but well worth it. The wine was potent. Thanks for the memory!

Noblesse Obliged doesn't resonate with Will. Im with @PrivateTim, people doing there job but offend him?, must be ratbags who are publicly humiliated . Loyalty is fine as long as its on his terms. A very self indulgent wanker.

We have flavoured rice cakes here, raspberry, honey, mixed herbs, blue cheese flavours. Not real, all synthetic but taste better than cardboard, Australia, land of Vegemite and innovation

I myself love that by reading the comments, new scraps of information comes to light, very Inspector ( insert name here; Rex, Morse, Lynley, Ellis, Gadget...)
