I like the time period that Veronica and Mildred find themselves in. I especially like the fact that the time travelers are able to interact with the character of Gladys. The woman is a suffragette and is fierce in the way she comes to the aid of women being arrested at a rally. Yet, in her own home, she pales at the mere mention of his lordship being home. Gladys is a mixture of strength and vulnerability. She has a story to tell, and she makes this reader want to know what it is.
Great writing.

Sandra,
I'm enjoyed your story. I was encouraged to read it by another member. You did a good job with the setting of this story. My favorite part was the description of the Victorian house where they went for tea. Of course you ended at a point where readers will be eagerly awaiting the next chapter. I don't believe your proposed title is too long. Thanks for sharing. Jan

    Thank you so much, Jan! It's lovely to have you read my story, whoever encouraged you has my biggest thanks. I'm glad you liked the description of Gladys's house, they all had very dark, highly patterned paper on their walls in those days. Awful! Thanks again, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

You are such a pro, Sandra! You seemlesly introduce us to new ideas and eras - all with the help of Veronica and Mildred, a seemingly dynamic duo. Long may it continue, because I never want the story to end!

Very interesting story. It captured my attention from the very start. I liked the beginning when Gladys first pops into the story.Women getting the right to vote, very cool story.

Hello Sandra,
I'm Robert. Glad to meet you and Gladys.
And what a great time you've traveled back to,
but soon the winds of war will come and change everything.
This is a wonderful beginning to your new adventure.
The character of Gladys is very well drawn, strong, active, involved.
And his lordship. I hope his name is not John.
I think Mildred will hold her own quite nicely in the land of 1916.
The title will come to you as you write.
There are so many possibilities: with two lines yours works well

Between
This Time & That Time

or Before This Time

or Tea Time in That Time

Best wishes to you. Looking forward to the new book.
Robert

    Tea Time in That Time!!! LOL! Mildred would approve. But, I do like 'Before This Time' That would be about right. Hmm. You are winning at the moment! I take the winner out for a cuppa tea. But they have to come to England.:)) Thank you so much, Robert, for the six stars and really lovely review, oh, and not forgetting the lovely introduction! Gladys and I are really pleased to meet you, too! LOL:)) Sandra xx
    P.s. No, Sir John has been laid to rest. :)

-An excellent chapter, Sandra.
-It flows and progresses well, has
good use of descriptive detail,
dialogue, and historical references.
-We see Ver. and Mildred as they
get involved with Gladys during
this suffragette rally.
-Gladys is the center of this
chapter and fills in with
some details about the rally
and the women involved.
-She also seems cordial enough,
and invites Ver. and Mildred to her home.
-She obviously comes from a
well to do family since they have a maid.
-You end the chapter well with both
Gladys and Mary concerned about
Gladys's father being home and why
this is so at this particular time.

    I'm really pleased you are enjoying this one, Pam, it's so very different from the other books. Thank you so much for this lovely review. I'm enjoying the research, my goodness those women were brave and tough. Gladys is two people really, when she is with the Suffragettes she is the person she was born to be, strong and determined. But, at home... we will learn more about her life in the next part. Thank you for all the stars again, my wonderful friend!! Big hugs. Sandra xxx

    You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Sandra. Thanks for sharing about Gladys. I imagine there were many like her back in the that time; those with money had much different expectations for their offspring, in most cases, I would guess.

Nicely done, Sandra. I enjoyed this scene. I must have missed the first part. It will be interesting because unlike the last one people can see her and now she has another person along. Mildred should be a fun companion to have along the way.

Take care,
Russell

    Mildred will be full of surprises in this story, Russell, it's going to be fun to have her along. Thank you so very much for the 6 shiny stars, my friend, and the lovely review. The first part explains how Mildred came back from the dead and looking more than forty years younger. I'm hoping to do something similar when it's my turn!! :) Big hugs, my friend. Sandra xxx

Hi, Sandra,

Oh - goody! A time in history that will be fun to explore. I love the introduction of Gladys, and I'm curious to see how 'his Lordship' will accept the two interlopers, as well as the fact his wife was marching in the demonstration.

I think your proposed title is a bit long - Women in That Time

I didn't see any spag,

    Thank you so much, Patty. There will be a lot of action coming up in this one. It's going to be a totally different plot to the other two. I agree with you, my idea would have been too long. I will put yours in my title file. You have 'That Time' there, which is what I've been hoping for, I'll keep all the suggestions, not many so far, and then I'll see which will go best with the plot. I might even put it to a vote on here. Hmm, now there's a thought. lol. Thanks my dear friend. :)) Sandra xxx

You wove in some powerful imagery here that I really relished - "baby factories without a brain between us". Indeed, indeed!

Another thing I adore about your stories is the history and important instances you incorporate in them. Your descriptions of the suffragettes were so vivid I could see it all in my mind's eye - the police and their vans and the women being arrested.

This is arresting, Sandra.

    What a fabulous review, Aki, thank you so very much!! These were hard times for women and they had a huge fight on their hands with the men. We owe those women a lot. The strange thing is how so many countries had the suffragettes. Australia got the vote first in the late 1890s, I'm not sure when the Americans won theirs, in the UK we were given it after the war ended in 1918. How did it happen that they all took up arms at the same time. I must do some more research!! Thank you, my friend. I enjoyed your review. :)) Sandra xx

    Yes, that's the amazing thought. They managed to coordinate the movement with no more than letters that took months to arrive and more months to be answered, no Zuckerberg and Google! I learnt from my granny that the Kenyan women (mainly of British descent) fought the suffragate soon after the WW1 too, and won it!
