Am enjoying this.

Although an unintended giggle for me, was for the mention of the large, marble inlaid table - that'll take a lot of people to move (there's a similar on at one of the sites at work I'm assured took a minimum of 8 burly men to move...)

[fringedweller]

It's a good thing that they employed so many footmen back then, isn't it?

[heatherbelles]

Exactly what I thought.

AM thoroughly enjoying this story (but then you started me on the Regency fiction in the first place, didn't you...)

[fringedweller]

Yes, I did, in retaliation for Liz getting me hooked on Julia Quinn. I was either paying it forward or wreaking my revenge, I can't decide.

I loved the interaction between them in this chapter. Quiet and kind. Waiting for McCoy's famous temper/passion to make an appearance. Thx for the update!!

[fringedweller]

No temper, but the passion will be coming towards the end of the fic. Thanks for reading!

Oh Jim, ILU. He's so brilliant and clueless all at once!

I always found it interesting how there was a sort of double standard for men and women-- like men could be naughty and it was just brushed aside. But I imagine that if Jim married for love he'd cease and desist because, well, she'd have to be a tough chick. And if not, well, society would turn a blind eye to extracurricular activities.

[fringedweller]

It's not something that I go into a lot of detail with in the fic, but I get the feeling that Jim womanises mostly out of boredom. Once he decides to be faithful, he'd leave that part of his life behind.

[hellokatzchen]

Ahh. That makes sense. And I imagine he'd only want to be faithful to someone who he found interesting and stuff, anyway.

Just stopping by to say that this story is EXTREMELY addicting--just the kind of thing to read on a snowy winter eve, haha. I refresh every few hours (minutes, seconds, whatever.......) hoping for a new update :D

[fringedweller]

Glad you're enjoying it! I'll be updating once a day now I've finished writing it.

[missjaneregrets]

I'm having a blast with this, but you are cruel to make us wait a whole day between chapters!

[fringedweller]

Hee, I am evil! Thanks for commenting!
