Roberts is a brave man. I don't think this plan will work but it will keep Granger and Nelson out of harms way and let them continue their journey. I do have to wonder why he sent Gatling back, I wonder if there is something there...
-
This was a chapter of passion and death. They flow together often like equal sides of a river. The battle was hard fought but Granger came out on top but not without loses. I do wonder where the Blanche got off to. It doesn't seem that they should have been that far from Granger and his ship.
-
This was just a fun chapter to read. It just flowed and the conversation as written was just sparkling. I really enjoy those moments when Granger gets to host the dinner part and that fun side of him comes out...
-
I would still like to know exactly what Ramsey is up to, he just seems to have to much information for someone of his position. I am going to miss Chartley. I am excited that Granger is going to Elba with Nelson, plus getting to be his flagship...
-
I know that some people really seem to like Calvert but I just dream of the day a cannon ball puts him out of my misery. I am glad that Granger has arranged transport for Chartley all the way to England. His letter to Caroline should get her involved and make this a more even battle back home.
-
Just when Granger was finding someone that might be his actual equal and be the right man for him, Calvert has to show up. I swear will this man just never die in battle or somewhere??? On top of that his behaviour is not doing anyone any favors. I have to wonder how Granger will play this.
-
I have a feeling that by the time that Caroline and George enter the battle on the side of Bertie that Davina and Freddie may wish they had decided to play on the up and up. I do find this part of the story really fascinating. Chartley doesn't seem to be as recovered as I thought he would be at this point. I hope he makes it, he seems like the kind of person that Granger should be with...
-
Damn, Granger is fighting a war and having to deal with his own family being up to something dastardly. I don't know what would be worse, Bertie being Bertie or Freddie acting like Bertie but without his charm... I have a feeling that Granger and Chartley are going to be more involved than anyone realizes at the moment..
-
Chartley is being an ass and it just doesn't make sense. There has to be something else going on, even if he is Granger's superior militarily; you just don't piss someone of Granger's influence off without a reason. Granger's plan gave them a chance to fight off the pirates, the wind may give them a chance to actually win. Let's hope they get off without to many loses...
-
I have to wonder why Izzy took off across the continent. This just doesn't make sense. I wonder if he did not want to travel with Lord Chartley. I have a feeling this is going to be a difficult voyage. I do find Chartley very interesting. I have a feeling that he and Granger may be enlivening each other's lives...
-
Well, Granger is going back to Naples and getting to deal with Izzy again. I have to wonder if that is going to be as easy as before. I do find Granger to be so interesting when dealing with people from such varied backgrounds. He finds just the right way to handle everyone.
-
I think that Granger had to get rid of Darby, it was just going to be a bigger problem the longer he was there. I do feel for Darby though, he lost Travers and now Granger in a very short period of time. I hope he is able to get his bearings and realize that what happened was for the best and is able to move on with his life in the navy. It is amazing what a few cannons can do to get someone's attention.
-
I have a feeling that Mr. Darby is going to be the kind of person that is going to worship the ground that Granger walks on and isn't going to be the kind to hide the fact. This may cause more issues than his promise to Travers makes it worth.
-
Granger had passed well into adulthood long ago but Travers death seems to be his death of innocence. Travers never knew the doubts that Granger had about their relationship and for that Granger is greatful and so am I.
-
I cannot tell you that time has dulled my reaction to this chapter at all. Each and everytime I have read this chapter, my heart just weeps. Travers was probably not the man that George was destined to end up with, their social positions were just too great. That being said, there is something about your first love that you just never get over. Travers was a good man and a very good Captain. He will be missed...

Well, the biggest part of the passengers are unloaded and on their way back to Spain. I am glad that Granger was able to help get them there. I do not trust Mr Ramsey, there is just something to fishy about the whole deal.
-
Granger going back to sea and with war with Spain declared, I am sure will see action quite soon. It is a nice gesture on his part and the Admiralty to take the Ambassador back to Spain.
-
A truly wonderful story and a great addition to the Bridgemont saga. I do wonder what Granger will do for an encore.
-
Glad to see that Cavendish has been able to make the most of this situation. With his position, that really should not have been to difficut. I am happy that he and Granger are still so connected. I do worry about him and Arthur though...
-
Welll, Granger made it back and will be lauded as even more of a hero. He and his men deserve everything they get. I am glad to see that the Lords of the Admiralty understand what he has accomplished. Mann just left? He should have been dunned out of the Navy at that point but he wasn't...
-
Where the hell is Mann? Did he get pulled off and sent somewhere else? I wonder where the Spanish and French fleets are heading out to? Granger and his connections pull it off again...
-
I am always glad to see Travers and George together. I do think they are starting to pull apart, even if Travers doesn't realize it. The gulf in their social standing would make it harder to stay together than most would realize. It was easier when Travers was so superior in rank to George but not they are almost even, it is harder to offset the other issues.
-
Elevation to the Collar would have been a major deal. It would place him very high in the King's eyes. The Duke of Medinacelli must have been very powerful at that time. War with Spain. It had to come but sad that Granger will be in the middle of it with his new friends.
-
Not sure anyone else could have done what Granger has done, but then he is the hero of our story... I am glad to find out that Carlos is going to be returned home. What they did to him was not all that unusual but it is still horrible to contemplate.
-
Granger saves another soul, I have to wonder who Carlos will turn out to be. You know that he isn't just some peasant. Few from the underclasses were that fluent with languages in those times.
