[MOAR commenty!]I must admit that I got much more worried about Gilbert the instant I saw your cover - Calla and Taddy were clearly mourning, from what I could see, and based on what you'd said and written in drabbles, I didn't think it would be Bruce, which left Gilbert - as Rosalie clearly wasn't going to the war front herself.
I'm glad the pregnancy pulled Calla out of her depression. Poor her, having to lose a child.
Yay babies! You know, since they had twin sons, if they wanted to keep the Seiff name going, one of the boys could take it. Of course, I'm not surprised Rosalie managed to throw you twins even though you didn't plan on it. It suits her. :P
I'm glad for her parents that Rosalie and her family are going to keep living there, as well as for the fact that it gives you one less house to play. :P
I see Clarence kept hanging around. I feel bad for him, losing his lover like that. :(
I can't help but wonder if Gilbert and his insistence on getting what he wanted and being true to himself meant that he lived more than Rosalie did, in some ways. She chose her husband logically, but I've noticed that she doesn't use the word "love" when describing what she was with Bruce. She wanted to be Mrs. Thorne, she didn't want to live with the man she loved. Gilbert managed to fall in love and go for it whole-heartedly, but Rosalie's relationship is the socially acceptable one, which...well, it's sad.
I'm glad you gave us Gilbert and Clarence's letters as well. It's a very different view from Rosalie's.
The idea of Shirley giving Rosalie a hug without cleaning up is hilarious. I totally want to see that. :P
I do hope Clarence can be a good husband to Loretta, because I'm sure she deserves one, though we don't know her at all - she seems nice, and we certainly have seen nothing that she's deserving of any trouble.
I'm not sure what I think of Clarence allowing his father to make sure he didn't go to war. It's...not the right choice, but it's also something that is very human. We can be cowards, and, I mean, look at the Civil War - paying someone to take your place was legal! It's still not a good thing to happen, though.

Can't wait for Shirley's chapter!
