He sopped up runny egg yolk with a piece of biscuit. -- Excellent detail. It sets the atmosphere and gives the scene greater depth.

I'm still loving the character of the grandfather. The pic you chose fits so well with this chapter. Well written. I found nothing negative to mention.

Love message here. To close one size and look within understanding our own connection to the divine source of life is a gift we all have available to us. I greatly enjoyed this piece. Thank you very much for sharing.

This is a good chapter. I can see the characters in my mind. I do like the image as well. I didn't catch any error reading the chapter. It is a good read so far.

Dear Barbara - I liked the fact that you are able to make me ponder what he is, memory, ghost/spirit... There is smooth dialogue, and creativity around your scene work that I found painted great pictures for me to visualize your story.
Nicely penned.
Thanks for sharing.
Maureen

I just love your character, Soni. And that last part in the cemetery was just marvelous. Was her grandfather there in body or just spirit? You leave it to the reader to decide which is a great hook, Barbara. Very well done!

him some coffee ... up some runny egg ... did some paperwork ... do some soul ...

Here is a vignette by Bertrand Russell about the word ... some.

Do you have some apples? "No," he replied.
Do you have any apples? "No," he replied.
Do you have apples," "Yes," he replied and smiled ecstatically.

him pretty bad. I ... it is dialog so acceptable, but bad=>badly correct grammar.

    I got it and I will take care of it immediately. I had an editor say the same thing about 'that', I try not to use it and will follow suit with 'some'.

    When I am editing my prose I use the word-finder to locate all: that's, some's, any's and All-of-a-sudden's=>suddenly's

Barbara, you have created a believable setting for this western adventure and appropriate vernacular for the day. The story is well set with an intriguing hook at the end. Well done. :0 GracieAnn
