Thanks for the review. You're pretty perceptive. I love your line about how expensive favors from Elizabeth can be.
-
Even though Will has his own money, Brad's been paying their bills. It's Will's way of annoying Brad.

December 31, 1799 Constantinople Granger looked at the city that spanned before them, and let his eyes scan the harbor. It was a beautiful location, and even if the diversity of the buildings were not apparent, the varied types of ships in harbor attested to the fact that Constantinople was one of the world’s major crossroads. “Let go!” he ordered, and Valiant’s anchor descended into the mud of the harbor, while Weston had the crew take in the remaining sails. Granger thank

I'm not disappointed in Jardines...he's always been a bit of an opportunist, and I'm sure he was easy prey to the Guild's propaganda.
-
I think repercussions from the Guild against Jardines are a very real possibility, and I'm not sure that there is much George can do to help him.
-
Thanks. I think it makes perfect sense why Jardines was involved in this whole thing, but in the end, when he's faced with such a palpable dilemma, he turns to George for advice and trusts him.
-
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. :-)

Mark has been driving across the country, and he just got home four hours ago. -
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. :-)

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. :-)
-
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.

California Culture: Circa 2000

You realize, of course, that stories like this are quite possibly not true, right? -
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
