Notes on the narrative

From her photo Eloisa James is a tiny smiling author. She freely admits this is autobiographical. We embrace her for that

And the income crashing down with it well worn boy babe to be followed by a girl babe. But this instance it was not so egregious

The end

I have to hand it to Eloisa James. Her research that brought her to a cog wheel that revolutionized British built locomotives was epic.

To sum up the entirety

“You left me in a strange world. “

And no the epilogue

Kudos, I must admit, she handled the retreat and the advance with tree climbing and the cat pissing in the boot. That reminded that I gave away a rescue cat and it pissed in the new shoes of the husband, when it came back I never let it go, it died at 20.

Yes Stella you really had to stop feeling so sorry for yourself
I would like to sleep alone tonight…

Finally. Sylvester finds his groove that he has to convince Stella she was first choice then and always, in whatever life. The book is 98% finished, and I take the author to task.
Sylvester as blockhead got too old, to stale, and frankly, boring.

Poor Stella, she lost her groove in the entertainment that Harold had gathered. Sylvester sat beside Yasmin, of no particular emotion. But to Stella, it was crushing. So Blanche improvised a trio of a French song dedicated to lovers.

Finally, Stella: “I am worth loving. “

Sylvester sees Yasmin, and is unmoved. We are nearly done with the book and to convince Stella she was never a second choice remains to the plot

News of Yasmin and Giles moves Sylvester not a wit . Rumors of her carrying a child remind him of his own duty to create an heir.
