You certainly have the knack of leaving the reader waiting - the art of any good serial teller. In the meantime, your use of 17th C? language and mores reminds us of just how far women have come since pater's wrath was such an impediment to their happiness. Great story. Looking forward to more installments. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
