Thanks so much! As I've said many times, Will is my male incarnation of Tonto. Wilful, caring, but not perfect.

Chapter Forty-Six April 4, 1800 Portland Place “Thank you, Cheevers,” Caroline said, dismissing him so they were alone. “This is hideous,” Granger pronounced with disdain. He was so repulsed; he almost spat the words out. Arrayed around the room, taking up virtually every available shelf, table top, or other platform, were commemorative items celebrating Granger’s career. “I expected that you would think so, but I do not,” Caroline said firml

I agree with you on the dinner, and what I think is most important is how well Daventry, Caroline, and George worked together. That had to be just a little intimidating to Pitt (not that they'd ever know it) to be in the midst of three formidable and unified people.
-
I'm glad you liked the chapter. Hang on for a few more minutes and I'll post the update.
-
Compromise indeed. You should explain that to our current administration. :-(
-
Thank you so much! I agree with you about Castlereagh. He's such an enigmatic figure. I will solve the cliffie problem shortly. :-)
-
That's an astute observation...it's not that George doesn't have the skill, he just doesn't live in that world (when he's gone). That would be tough to navigate if you just visited occasionally.

Here's a spoiler. We won't find out what happened to Cavendish until next story.

April 3, 1800 Portland Place “Cavendish will not be able to join us,” Caroline told Granger and Daventry, to explain the presence of only four chairs at the dining room table. “That is unfortunate,” Granger said sincerely, and led the three of them into his library. “It is,” Caroline agreed, although there was some discomfort in her voice, probably because she remembered her liaison with Cavendish and how that had so soured her marriage.

Good choices! -
Usually, but Wills rationale makes sense.

I am so glad you enjoyed the chapter. Lots of strings for me to still weave together.

August 29, 2003 The Dalby Ranch Brad “This is pleasant,” I commented, as we sat outside on the balcony, sipping on gin and tonics. “Except for that pungent odor,” Stef said, crinkling up his nose. “That is the aroma of cattle, or perhaps more specifically the odor of cattle dung,” JP said officiously. “It is not a fragrance I would bottle,” Stef grumbled, refusing to be cajoled out of his unpleasant mood.

Not all of them, but these here ones do.

I suspected that would perk you up. :-)

Thanks! Sometimes manners aren't enough.

August 29, 2003 The Dalby Ranch Will I went up to the room they’d assigned me, the one in Dally’s wing, and got myself organized. I unpacked my clothes, making sure my suit wasn’t too wrinkled, and then got out my laptop. I didn’t have too much homework left to do, so I knocked that out in half an hour. Around 2:15, I heard loud, clomping steps outside. I looked up at the open doorway just as Dally walked up, or at least he was the guy who I assumed was Dally. “Hey

I'm a better baker than chef.

Thanks. The lines from those two just sort of come out of my fingers like I was witnessing them, and sometimes I go back and read them and laugh myself. I loved this last exchange.
-
It must be incredibly irritating for the Dalbys, who, as you said, are the kings of their own world, to have people stroll in who easily eclipse them economically at least. :-)
-
I'm actually doing really well. Thanks for asking, and thanks for all of your concern. Hopefully I'll be able to speed up this ride we're on and get some more chapters out there.
-
Thank you so much! I'm trying to be more regular with my posting.

You make a good call on Mary Ellen. I think that Wade is warning her, even though he doesn't know why, that he could be a much bigger threat to her.
-
They are not. It was a common enough name that even the author through one too many in. :-) Just an update: I actually finished the last one and a half chapters of Valiant, so now they're in editing. After that, we're on to another book. I'll keep you posted as that progresses.
-
Thanks Gary. I think Wade is playing this thing with Mary Ellen shrewdly. He figures that she'll be curious enough to dive into it, and he knows that she'll want to talk/gossip about it, and he's the obvious person for her to talk to.
