loved this chapter solo much! looking forward to their reconciliation and finding out about what happened between susanna and frank- you always seem to be able to surprise the reader with an original plot!

I thought that this was a really strong chapter, it angers me that some people in the comments section do not seem to appreciate the clarity and depth of your writing, yet, do know that your writing is by far the best that I have ever seen on this site. I am anxiously waiting for the next chapter!

Hmmm in that last chapter, which I read like a dozen times, I thought it was to Arabella's defense which Frank jumped. Who is misreading it, me or Arabella? I know Frank isn't a 'good guy' but I still think of him in many ways as sympathetic and redeemable. His dismal of Susanna as 'just a whore who spreads her legs for free' upsets me. Much like Frank Susanna is doing was she needs to do to get through the day. If she finds a little bit of respite in Frank more power to her. It kills me when men disdain women for sexual activity (still true today) which when men are doing the same, gets them praised.
I can only imagine how bad this comment is written (not that my grammar and punctuation is ever very good). I went out to dinner and drinks with friends and I had not 1 but 2 margaritas...I normally barely even have a half glass of wine. Excuse me.
This was another engaing chapter. Well done.

I hate both of them right now! It's so frustrating. I wish they would just talk like normal people and realize that they still love each other! Can't wait to hear more of Frank's POV.

Like Arabella said herself the what he saw during, but mostly after, the war damaged him. I really believe he can be redeemed. I have always believed that 'hurt people hurt people' and he actually protected her in a lot of ways. During this time women were chattel we can't expect them to subscribe to our social mores.

I love your writing. I really do. But right from the start and all the way through this story, i have hated the character of Frank. He is a man who 'grew up' to become a little boy. Selfish, careless and ultimately too weak and childish to do anything more than go after what HE wants, regardless of consequence or decency. Every seemingly selfless thing he has ever done has actually been for his own self-intetest. I have no respect for him whatsoever and i sincerely hope Arabella realises she is a million times better off without him. Not because of wealth or social standing, but because she will always be the adult in the relationship, having to put up with and placate a child who is so pathetic that he cannot handle not being in control of her. As with all of these dominant types, he really does need and deserve a doormat like Susanna ("You can do what you want with me"... is about all his fragile ego can handle).
I realise i will be in the minority with this view, but in my opinion, nothing less than taking a bullet for her will redeem him. A bit sad for her, don't you think, when her 'hero' is so worthless that only death will improve him?

For JOhnathan's death? During Bella's ruminations was she blaming Thaddeus or Anderson for not coming in time? As much as I want them to have their HEA I wonder how they can get passed Johnathan dying like he did.

I wish they could just tell each other how they really feel! They're both in love with one another, I wish they could see it. I can't wait to read what happens next and to learn more about what Susannah is to Anderson.
