So disappointing that Mildred didn't come back.

*het ? Is that apostrophy intended?

I so enjoy their teasing interchanges.

So realistic with the tea and firing up the computer.

A good transition chapter, that partially answers a few question , but leaVES MORE.

    Thank you so much, Tom, for continuing to read this story. That isn't an apostrophe, it's an asterisk meaning to look in my notes at the bottom. It was just something very funny regarding what I'd found researching this word. I wasn't sure if the Americans knew what this word meant, as there have been a few times words I've written something and have been asked for an explanation. What I found was, the word, Het up, was in fact first used in 1886 by a renowned American physicist by the name of S. Mitchell. Which is my name. It was just so funny, I had to share it.

    Yes, there is more coming on Sunday, and then things will happen. Thank you, my friend, for your lovely review. Big hugs, Sandra xx

Hi, Sandra,

As always - a most enjoyable and informative chapter. I envy the way you can weave the storyline into their conversations - you certainly have the whole 'show versus tell' thing down. (I'm working very hard on that with my editor right now -- who knows? Maybe I can conquer it, too.)

Looking forward to see what the Powers that Be have in store,

~patty~

Another great chapter. Easily understood because of how well it is written. I like that the chapter ends leaving the reader eager to find out what happens next. Will she get sent back? TA

I like this. I see the questions, and I would be like that. Time travel is confusing. I understand she wants to be sent back to help Mildred. After reading this chapter, I think there is something she needs to either learn or figure out something before going back. This is well done. I could follow the dialogue, I could actually relate to her asking why. When we ask why it is because we have the answer, just need to find out what it is. Very well done.

    That is so right. Now Veronica must find that answer, and she will once she really puts her mind to it. Thank you so much for this lovely review, my friend, I'm so pleased you are enjoying the story. Big hugs, :) Sandra xx

First off, published? Congratulations! I hope to be there soon but need to work on illustrations (children's book).
I am happy you added character descriptions at the end. I do not readily see zeppelins and internet in the same story. This was great though. I will have to read some more chapters.

    Hi Greybaerd, Thank you so much for the congratulations. :)) I have 7 children's books published, and the illustrations are so important. I wish you much success with yours. If you can do your own, you are very fortunate, it cost me a lot. Thank you for reading this chapter. I know it sounds strange, lol, zeppelins and the internet, but Veronica and Mildred are time travellers, sent back to put the time line right. It started first in the suffragette years to collect the characters I needed, and then shot forward to WW1 where more is learnt about those characters. Now Veronica is finally getting close to finding out what she has to do.

    It sounds more complicated than it is, but hope it helped a bit. A few chapters back I have a short synopsis at the beginning if you'd really like to find out what's happening, I'm really pleased to see you, and welcome you to FS, (I checked you out!! lol) I'm sure you'lll love it here, :)) Sandra xxx

Cool, you were famous in your past life, lol. That's so fun.

Great chapter. You've set up the delimit very well and I can feel Veronica's frustration. Great job writing this scene. I enjoyed it.

Looking forward to reading more.

    Thanks, Rebecca, wasn't that a hoot? I couldn't stop laughing when I read that. I had to copy and paste it for you all to read. lol.
    Veronica will be pulling her hair out soon if the 'powers' don't send her back soon! Thanks, my friend. Big hugs, Sandra xxx

I like this chapter, Sandra. I like that it was devoted to James and Veronica. You did a good job with their dialogue as it pertains to time travel and the details of their home. Your lines flowed smoothly and were easy to understand. The info that James discovered and what Veronica found out should lead to great chapters ahead. Great job and thanks for sharing. Jan

    Hi Jan, thank you so much for your lovely review. Yes, now Veronica has a bit more to go on, she wants to go back and start with Mildred, but, the Powers still haven't sent her back. Why? We'll hopefully find out next time. I'm so pleased you are still enjoying my story, my friend, thanks for your encouraging comments. :)) Sandra. xxx

Hi Sandra, Alas, I've no sixes left. So a five it has to be. Oh, it is frustrating, why can't she be sent back to help getting history right. Please hurry up with more of the story.
Have we lost the war? = Had we lost the war?
"Can you remember the date the hospital was bombed? I asked Mildred, but she disappeared before she could answer." = This sentence is confusing me. Is Veronica asking James? Or is she recounting what she'd asked Mildred?
A big hug. Ulla xxxx

    She is talking to James and asking him if he can remember the date of the bombing, going on the explain that she'd asked Mildred but that she disappeared before she could give Veronica the answer.

    Thanks for picking up that wrong tense, sometimes I get confused with what time-line I'm in! LOL.

    Thanks so much, Ulla, and honestly, I didn't expect 6s at this time in the week. I hardly ever have any left come Monday night! Big hugs my friend. :) Sandra xx

This is another very well-written, interesting post. I love the bits of humor you' ve thrown in here and there. I bet it is frustrating wanting to help, to do something and can't. Hopefully she'll figure out what she's missing so the powers that be will send her back. Sorry no 6's.

My plea is to Veronica's "powers that be". Get her back with MIldred! Okay! That said, this was an emotionally frustrating chapter. Well done my friend.
