    I loved your line about George as a major advocate of the second chance, especially where his friends are concerned.

    A face instead of an amorphous blob of an organization? That's interesting, but I don't see the Guild as having that kind of leader...I see it as a loose coalition, so I'm not sure that there is a 'leader', per se.

    George gets his watch back, and it's unlikely that Jardines ever remains straight. :-)
  4. Mark has been driving across the country, and he just got home four hours ago.
  5. I think the polo shirt could be hot, depending on where the holes are. (Where the fuck are the emoticon keys?)

    Only two things to say to you: 1. Thanks, as always for the review. 2. Yes.

    Thanks for the review!

    I work hard to keep things interesting. :-)

    Chapter 3

    Thanks for the review. A couple of comments: I think it's difficult to figure out just what happened with Alex because he's pretty closed and stoic. That's a wait and see deal. I don't think Will's planning to be destructive at all. This is his equivalent of shooting off fireworks to get Brad's attention. Come to think of it, maybe he should buy some fireworks...hm....

    And isn't this a wonderful idea? How fun for me to get to have Will spending a bunch of money! :-)

    Thanks Gary. JP's talk with Will was basically standard operating procedure, just in case something happens. The big takeaway from that it is a tangible sign of the confidence JP has in Will, and the bond between them.

    I am not killing off JP in this book.

    July 15, 2003 Escorial Will The entire house was in convulsions, or so it seemed, as everyone prepared for their departure. I felt sorry for the staff, since they’d been dealing with this for the past two days. It felt strange to be the only person who was sticking around, but I’d sucked that up and determined that I’d give them all a nice sendoff. Well, most of them. I’d just started eating breakfast when Matt and Wade walked in. “Hey there!” I said, and gave Matt a warm h

    Thanks! I think that JP has talked to his primary care doctor. Presumably that's where he got the Viagra.

    Thanks Miles. As I wrote this, I could totally see why Jardines would do this. And I was reminded of how often honest people believe the lies fed to them by powerful, selfish interests.

    Well if I told you that, Chapter 34 wouldn't be very interesting. :-)

    Chapter 32

    Yeah yeah, you're a veritable savant. :-) One of my editors mentioned the watch too, but we see Granger using it in Chapter 33, so we know he snagged it.
  18. You realize, of course, that stories like this are quite possibly not true, right?

    Chapter 32

    December, 1799 Tenedos The fortress had a very nice reception chamber, and it was amazing how nicely decorated it was, considering the short notice Kemal Bey had had to prepare a fete. There was a large table laid out, but as they were not all assembled, people were merely standing in small groups, chatting and drinking. Granger had invited Weston to join him, but he had requested to be allowed to remain aboard and attend to the ship. As the first lieutenant, his life was f
  20. Jeremy has a thing for white guys.
  21. I agree, but what I really liked was how she appeared somewhat, well, more brazen while he looked so staid and conservative.

    I LOVE CHERRIES! Thanks for the review! I'm glad you picked up on Lady Elgin's sympathy issue. We don't really know what Elgin is doing to her, so it makes it tough to allege that he's abusing her. If he is, part of me is repulsed by it, while a smaller part is secretly glad to see her get her comeuppance.

    Thank you! It's a common misconception that many of the seamen in the Royal Navy were pressed criminals, but that doesn't stop this author from taking advantage of that historical inaccuracy. ;-)

    Ah yes, the sins of the past can provide us with useful experience!

    I'm sure that Granger is desperate to get rid of the Elgins. I can imagine his laboring over the stop in Tenedos.
