Good writing. :)

I have one question -- is there action going to happen sooner or later with the painting? I picture this being like a James Bond movie. :P

Take care

    LOl There will be action concerning the painting soon. This post is important because of Shana's relationship with her dad.
    Thank you for the kind review.

Well written piece of discourse.
I notice that, in most romance novels, the hero seems to be a billionaire for some reason or other.
Sorry that I've been away for awhile. I must have missed some of your writing.
Shona sounds like a very caring person.

    Thank you for the kind review. In my two previous romance, the heroine was the rich person, not the hero.

I'm thinking that Shana is wondering if this would happen between her and her father. Shakespear's work is still as up with the times as it was all those years ago. Would Shana's father banish her if she fell in love with Drew. Hmm. Have a lovely few days off, Barbara! Another fabulous part. :) Sandra xxx
ps. I still want those dogs!!

So the scene is set for some advancement on the plot. After Shana had explained the reasons for her interest in the painting, Jeff takes the dogs fo a walk, with a coffee and dogs in tow. Well done, Barbara, good progress, with the story, blessings, Roy

Hi, Barbara. I enjoyed reading this coffee cup chatter. I'm not familiar with King Lear's story, so it was a treat to hear. He sounded like a foolish man, but his daugher's honesty probably shocked and offended him.

Suggestion:
"Good morning, Shana," greeted Jeff.
"Good morning, Shana," Jeff greeted.
By putting the speaker's name before the action (greeted) the reader knows in an instant who to picture. It's a style choice--not a rule.

"For nothing is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so," if you can believe that malarkey. Shakespeare's brilliant mind came along so far before his time. Him and Truman Capote could have done the Watusi together had he just waited. Thanks for sharing another fine chapter. :-)â?¦

Good afternoon, Barbara
Another in a long line of excellent posts. I liked how you worked Shakespeare into the post. The flow was smooth,the dialogue natural and interactions between your your characters natural and not forced. Enjoyed.

Take care and stay safe,

Ray

Nice but I think that this chapter should have a little more sentences to it and focus on the finding of the painting also rather than just King Lear.

    I feel this chapter will have a GREAT impact on future chapters when it comes to Shana and her dad. I'm sorry you didn't pick up the relevance of that; others have.
