This is such a sweet story. I love the quiet, understated relationship between Peter and Smiley.

[spycandy]

Thank you very much. That understatement is very much what I wanted to achieve. I chopped out an enormous amount of dialogue before I was happy with it!

[miznarrator]

I love love love this. It is a fantastic view in to their working relationship, and I would read approximately 19473732727 words about Peter Guillam.

Glorious. Just glorious.

:DDDDD

[spycandy]

Thank you! I am already writing more words about Peter Guillam, so it's nice to know they'll have an audience!

[miznarrator]

ARE YOU. *chinhands*

I would love to know more!

(full disclosure: currently writing about him myself and all...)

Lovely! The Smiley $ Peter father/son relationship is one of my favorites of the books and this was a very nice little thing! Thanks <3

[spycandy]

Oops, I only just saw your comment here. But thank you very much indeed.

[spycandy]

And thanks for this comment too! I'm delighted you think I managed to captrure something of the dynamic between them (in both film and book).

[spycandy]

Belated thanks!
