This is unexpected, that she paid for Flourney's marker. It may not be a surprise when we learn what is written on it. I'm enjoying the epilogue and I hated to see Fanny's story end.

    Thank you so much, Carol. It does my heart good that you hate to see it end. I've completed part two of the epilogue but will have to wait until I earn enough shekels to promote it, so it will probably go up a week from next Saturday.

A three part epilogue? Well, I suppose that makes sense. This is a good FanStory script and the I'm sure the members will like the directions and conversation.

    Thank you for saying. But God protect me from another script!

That's fascinating why Fanny covered Thurston's burial costs. I wonder what the motive was - a penance? forgiveness? I wonder who benefited from the money that Thurston didn't use of his own property since his cattle could have been used to pay for it. Your characters keep getting interesting even after death!

    I hoped that would pass by the smarter reader, since I said that it took some finagling by Maples (a power in the town) since Fanny and Juni wanted to make sure the site remained in Brady. Hopefully, motive will be clear in the third part.

I want part 2. You did a great job and left me wanting more, as usual. I didn't see anything that was wrong or I would change. Have a wonderful evening. Shirley

I think that's always the best finish when Miss Juniper came to meet Fanny at the end. But like many interviews. There's always loose ends, and you're certainly tying up up those loose ends in this post Jay, well done, blessings Roy

Hi Jay. So there is still some more to the story. How come I'm not the least bit surprised?
Now I have to wait another week to get some more answers. As you know I love this is story. What an amazing script.
My family from Denmark has been here for most of the week. It has been great to seeing my young granddaughters after 2 years and 9 months. Hence I'm not posting this week either. Ulla:)))

    Thank you, Ulla. I'm just happy you took time away from really important things to read and review my play. And gave it a six! You are da bomb!

I'm amazed at how much more there is to learn after Fanny's death. Every episode has had an unexpected surprise. Now, there are new questions to be answered. I look forward to Part 2 of the epilogue.

    Thank you, Lorraine. Part two will answer one prime question, but part three will wrap everything up... I hope, and leave a smile on people's faces.

I enjoyed reading this. I am guessing, and am not complaining, that Fanny's story has not been completely told. There is so much more to it. I really like this skit. It's great!!

    Thank you, Barbara. I am losing people by attrition, I'm afraid. I'll be lucky to get ATB for this one. I'm only at 15 now, and haven't had a new review in hours. Your six stars is lovely. Thank you.

I'm glad that you are finally bringing this to close. What an incredible tale of love, betrayal and loyalty. I had trouble reading the accented dialogue that I'm sure you had labored over greatly. But you are a very good writer and that's why I'm giving you a six-stars.

Excellant.

    Well ... there wasn't any accent in this scene. I'm delighted that you're still hanging in there and reading this. Your six means SO much. But I'm not getting the numbers. I'll be lucky to get 20 reviews, though I am at the top of the board.

    I know. It's hard to get people to read prose more than 80 words or poem more than a Haiku.

    Take care. I'm getting writing done.

Of course there were some things missing from Fanny's story, Jay, and you're doing an incredible job of bringing it out in the epilogue through this dialogue. I look forward to reading the last two parts.

One minor suggestion: "the gun that Miss Juniper used to kill Thurston Flourney with." - the 'with' is unnecessary and only ends the sentence with a dangling participle. :)

    You know, about your suggestion, you are absolutely right. I looked at it several times, wondering whether I should leave "with" out, but it just seemed conversationally right. I even thought of saying, "The gun with which Miss Juniper used to kill ..." etc., but that seemed pedantic. I DO thank you for pointing it out. I'm going to mull it around a while and also see if it comes up in other reviews.

    You are so sweet to honor me with a six!

    Jay

    You are most welcome, Jay. This is a really easy one. There is no need for any other changes. Simply said: the gun that Miss Juniper used to kill Thurston Flourney. Unless you're thinking this isn't the way it would be spoken in this context, of course. :)
