I feel bad I ended up getting the last chapter first but I also feel bad about her turning her back on him. This is a very good story. Thanks for sharing it. Have a good day. Marly

Oh thank you Sanku. I really appreciate you going back a reading up to date. And thank you for the six stars. I promise my future chapters won't be as long as the third.
Comment from Jade Lawson
Thank you for sharing this chapter. This is a good development from the first chapter. Indeed, there is a very smooth flow in the dialogue and it kept my interest from beginning till the end. Good descriptions and I could perceive everything in my head, a good imagery indeed. This is a very interesting story and you convey the emotions really well.
She brushed by him, knocking him a little off balance when he gently pulled her into his arms and kissed her. She broke away... loved this one, excellent.

You are welcome. I missed the chapter 2 so I went back. Too much work to review lately from the people I am following and I missed this one, so I went back. I usually don't review work so much because of the member cents but because I enjoy to read them. If true to be told, if I don't like a story that I am reading, there's no member cents that would make me read it.
I enjoyed the first chapter, so to better understand the third, I had to read the second. Also it would not be fair to you, if I would jump chapters.

I liked the natural flow of the dialogue and you r descriptive language. Up the stairs like little pink rabbits - gave your words strong imagery. I have not read you work before and look forward to more.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
I love these kind of stories and you've told it well - with great presentation. all in all, most impressive.
the one thing I would mention though is that you use "said" a good deal. You might consider changing a few to -- commented - stated - uttered - exclaimed - explained -- anything to break it up -
otherwise, most enjoyable.

Comment from Gungalo
"You're my brown-eyed angel, you know that?" he whispered in her ear.
"Am I?" She sighed softly.
"Umm hm..."
Sigh Amahra you are such a romantic. I don't know how this could have gotten any more romantic than it did.

Excellent chapter. I love how your imagination of this time frame and place are so lively. The chapters, the way the up class people speak differently than the mere, nergo. I descriptions of the children engaging his charming appearance. Very well written.

Comment from TLPhillips
I love the story concept and you're off to a solid start. Though it's hard to tell just what time period we're in and some of your dialogue seems inconsistent. (Ex: "Is that Bay Rum I smell from back there, Sir?" - this feels a bit proper for the character given the few details we've gotten about him.) Also, you gave a vivid description of Margaret but it came a bit late for me. The part about the old man trying to dip his plus-sized wife gave me a chuckle. There were parts where some exposition showing us some kind of details would have been a nice break and given this piece a bit of balance.
I'm oddly intrigued by the story so far(I usually prefer fantasy to general romance). Good Luck and Happy Writing.
