    LOL. I can visualize JP's consternation throughout Stef's planning of the event, as he watched it turn from elaborate garden party into a full blown spectacle. I see Lark/Scott as this guy who flirts with everyone, so it's considered part of his act, only it's not really an act. I don't think Brad gets that. I think Brad expects that Scott would flirt with Will like crazy but would never fuck him. I think Brad is wrong.

    Will's house: I suspect that some family members may not be all that happy about it. ;-) I think that Claire and Isidore have internalized their indignation. They've convinced themselves that they were right, hanging on to that outrage and letting it shape the self-image they see in the mirror.

    Thank you! It's fun having Scott Slater in scenes.

    He may be an *NSYNC fan, but I doubt that would have convinced him to go to the party on his own. Or maybe he's just acting reluctant, when he really wants to go.
  5. Actually, he's doing what many of us do. He's depressed and bummed about missing the party, so he spends money to make himself feel better, among other things.

    July 12, 2001 There are times when I look back on my decisions and truly regret them. When Will had exposed the problems with our Bastille Day Party, one of my options had been to cancel the whole affair. I had ruled that out primarily in the name of tradition, deciding that an event that had gone on without exception since 1968 should not be cancelled. I had hoped instead to correct some of the errors that we had made by including a broader range of people, and I had hoped

    Just like opium and China. I hope you don't issue an embargo and make my stories illegal. :-)

    Well that's not too much of a stretch as far as predictions go: we are talking about Granger. He could probably figure out a way to bang Jardines even if it was right before they fought their duel.

    I try to keep things interesting. :-)

    Chapter 46

    April 1798 “You are a most enthusiastic and accomplished lover, yet you seem disturbed after we are together,” Granger said to Wellesley. They’d just each had an intense orgasm, and now that the euphoria of that was fading, Wellesley was characteristically cold and withdrawn. “This is illegal, and very dangerous,” he said. “If we are caught, it will be the end of my career in the Army, and my public life in England.” “It would compl

    Well it is much appreciated. I'll try to be less whiny in the future, but probably won't achieve that goal.

    I like them both, but I get pouty when no one posts reviews. :-). Then again, I feel the same way when the forums are dead too. Clearly I'm an attention whore.

    I can't see Wellesley being a member of the Brotherhood. I'm portraying him here as a heterosexual men who indulges in the occasional homosexual encounter.
  14. You have certainly done that for me. Thanks.
  15. I don't do Tequila. Ever. Me + Tequila = bad time. First, I get really drunk, then I get really sick. Tequila enters my body and insists on leaving shortly thereafter, from the most convenient orifice.
  16. The Box and Millennium eBooks have been uploaded.
  17. You'll get the answer when either: 1. Chapter 45 gets 10 reviews. 2. June 21.
  18. Thanks Miles. That's a good synopsis. When I lived in the Bay, there might as well have been a Berlin Wall type structure between EPA and PA.
  19. That's probably close to $9000 in today's money. Still cheaper than most schools.

    I hope you have a good trip, and that you stay healthy. Good luck!

    Thanks Tim! I hope yours was good as well! I think your observations are pretty spot-on.

    Actually, that is exactly what he's going to do. He'll sail up the Red Sea until he can cross more easily/safely to the Nile, and descend the Nile to Alexandria. The alternative is to travel the Sinai, which does not appear to be a route people took in those days, at least not very often. The most common route was the Baghdad-Aleppo route Mornington referred to.

    You're right. I think Calvert has come a long way. He doesn't have Granger's background, but his father wasn't just a "farmer." He has 250 acres, which is a substantial holding. He'd appropriately be considered gentry, which is a bit different than 'farmer', which makes one conjure up visions of a peasant.

    That's what I was trying to illustrate with that Kai-Will conflict, the attitude of some Hawaiians to outsiders. And the chill attitude is also part of Hawaiian culture, for the most part.

    Good predictions...we'll see if they materialize. I can see Will ultimately being friends with Kai, if only because of their mutual love of surfing.
