Yay. Please tell me when you finish. I am extraordinarily anxious about this chapter. I don't like it very much. I'm trying to write bits of it over, but nothing is sticking. Augh.

I like Charles jealous and drunk, giving away more than he'll have wanted to and missing many things in turn. Amused me how his moods changed.

Fletcher is intersting and has secrets of his own I think.

I'm no historian and read this as it's own world :)

What don't you like about it?

I dunno- it seems really dialogue driven, and although I dislike describing the stupid scenery in every single paragraph, my chapters usually have more world-building background and detail to them.
