Interesting predictions. Two of these will probably happen.

March 9, 2004 Escorial, CA Will I walked toward the house and saw Claire heading toward the stables, so I jogged over to catch up with her. “Going for a ride?” I asked her pleasantly. She gave me a slight smile. “If I’m not, I’m quite lost.” I laughed at her dry humor. “You want some company?” I asked that, and as soon as I did, I got worried that I was intruding. Most of the times when I went riding I did it to enjoy the solitude, so I could think.

No relationship

I agree with you. I don’t think it was a maturity issue. At breakfast, Zach basically told Will he was powerless when dealing with Zach. I expect that Will thought he deserved better, but he’s also his father’s son and understands that he needs Zach to realize that isn’t true. He knows that if he gives Zach control of their relationship he’s basically fucked.

March 9, 2004 San Francisco, CA Will I walked out of the Foundation’s headquarters relieved to be done with the meeting. After the big argument over firing Arundel, the rest went smoothly. Our motion to have the Board screen deals was approved with the proviso that a subcommittee be set up to do the work. That subcommittee consisted of me, Dad, Grand, Stef, and Evelyn. Stef nominated Jake to be the new Director, and by then everyone was so freaked out and cowed he g

That’s not a good metric to determine if Brooklands is good at his job or not. Lady Kendall may have 4 times the holdings Granger does, but only produces twice as much money.

Actually that is understated. Pure inflation calculations are tough across that many eras.

June 26, 1801 London, UK Granger, Cavendish, Scruggs, Daventry, and Rosslyn were enjoying a light conversation in the drawing room when their attention was distracted by Cheevers. “Their Graces, the Duke and Duchess of Suffolk,” his deep voice boomed as Granger’s parents walked into the room. Granger strode over to them and gave his father a rather cold and stiff greeting, while he was much more effusive with his mother. “I am so glad you could work dinner and these other

March 9, 2004 Palo Alto, CA Will “Were you planning to ride with us?” Stef asked. They were taking the big Escalade limo up to the City for the Board meeting at the Schluter Foundation. “I think I’ll drive myself,” I said. “I’ve got some plans afterwards.” “Plans?” Jake asked playfully. “Tentative plans,” I corrected. “I’m going to try to catch up with Tony and Mason.” “Why don’t I ride up with you?” Dad suggested. “I’ll hitch a ride back

I can totally see that, but give him a slightly lighter complexion. -
You are absolutely right about Castlereagh's father. Thanks. I changed it. I was thinking of Lord Hawkesbury for some reason. Which brings us to the second part. Lord Liverpool, at this date, was Hawkesury's father, and while Hawkesbury was some 6 years older than Granger, Lord Liverpool was approximately 45 years older than Granger.

He’s not always on top. 😀

I cannot see pastures green enough to make me leave. 😃

June 26, 1801 London, UK Granger sat back in his carriage as it spirited him towards his home. He had studied the financial records Caroline had left for him and had learned that his liquid money was in Coutts bank and the Bank of England, while he also had a considerable amount in consols. He’d gone into the City this morning to meet with bankers and brokers to ensure they understood that Caroline was no longer allowed to access his accounts and

Jeremy Piven is spot on and so is Ann Bancroft. I visualized Taylor as having a less pear shaped face, but I can see that. -

June 24, 1801 Portland Place London, UK “This is a most refreshing break in the day,” Daventry said, as he relaxed back into the soaking pool. “I discovered the wonders of bathing in Antigua, and have integrated it into my life ever since,” Granger said, as he let the warm water soothe his frayed mind. “It is most enjoyable when I return from a voyage and my skin feels like it is saturated with salt.” “I would think the fact that it makes you smell bett

March 8, 2004 Palo Alto, CA Will My phone was ringing and that was dragging me out of a sound sleep. I’d gotten back from meeting with Casey, come back to my room, and crashed. I grabbed my phone, saw that it was Travis, and answered it. “Hey,” I said. I could hear the grogginess in my own voice, and he heard it too. “Dude, I am sorry I woke you up,” he said. “I’ll get up for you anytime, big guy,” I said in a s

I’m not seeing Reece. Her features aren’t pointy enough. Maybe Meg Ryan? Or Kaitlynn Olsen? If Jack is John’s father, we have to backfill a bit since John’s supposed to look like Colton Haynes.
