[Reply] Thanks! I’ve had a lot of fun trying to get everyone’s outfits just right.
I always compared your Mary to my Jan, and then Jan to Rosalie, so I have no idea why I never made the connection between Mary and Rosalie, but yes, they are two peas in a pod. I bet Mary would have very much acted like Rosalie if she were a war wife (though I can hear her writing to Goopy reminding him of the horrible venereal diseases that those foreign girls must have :P ).
I was a bit concerned when Gilbert drew the short straw, because I really haven’t had a change to give him a chance to shine on his own, so I’m glad to hear that his death (eventually) was getting you choked up. That was part of the reason I decided to let Clarence share the letters.
Yup, heir spoilerage! I *did* get me a redhead at last. He is pretty much a clone of Nick, save for his hair and eyes, both of which he got from Alice. MOAR pictures can be found here, in case you missed them: http://silverbelle1220.livejournal.com/102827.html
It only makes sense for Rosalie to carry on the family in the house at this point, if not the name. I think a lot of people weren’t quite sure what to think about Bruce, but overall he’s a decent fellow. I have more plans for the Thornes, as you’ll see once the war’s over.
I’m laughing at your story about recognizing Rhodri and not Alexandra. Granted, I didn’t use her first name. I imagine it has something to do with how much you and Lark talk; her characters are closer to the front of your mind. I imagine you’ll find it interesting that both Rose and Di agree that Rosalie’s head would explode if she know what Alexandra, the “perfect hostess,” had gotten up to in her youth.
Thanks! It was a bit shorter than normal, but when I’ve got 5 different perspectives on the same time block, they were bound to be a little shorter than average. I’m working on Shirley’s chapter now, and hoping to get it posted in the next few weeks.
