I was wondering how you would handle Mildred staying. It will be a blow to Veronica to lose her, but she wants Mildred to be happy. How will the children take losing her.
Seems they did a number of Charles and, hopefully, his career and reputation are ruined forever!

    I hate to see it come to an end, but at the same time, I can't wait to see how you bring it about.

A wonderful chapter. They did change history. Now Charles is considered to have gone off the deep end. I think it is awesome that Veronica is telling the powers that be Mildred will stay because she is in love with Tommy. I hope they let Mildred stay and she is happy for as long as she can be. This flows well and show the devotion that Veronica has for her friend Mildred. Well done.

Hello Sandra, another very good chapter where you keep us wondering what will happen to Charles, but reveal nothing and keep us guessing. 'Perhaps she's been playing with his mind ... I mean, playing on his mind. What do you think, dear?" - clever! Your penultimate paragraph 'stay controlled', maybe 'remain controlled'?
'YOU CAN FORGET COMING TO ME FOR HELP AGAIN' - 'again for help?
These are not criticisms - just thoughts to take or dump. I look forward to the next chapter. Two to come so I expect you will keep us guessing still in the next one. LOL! Love Dorothy xx

    I've used your suggestions, Dorothy, thank you so much, I'm always happy to be given helpful suggestions. I'm glad you enjoyed this part. You will get an inkling at the end of the next chapter but then comes the very last chapter. That is when the big surprise comes. It came to me late the other night. I think there will be a prologue to tie up the loose ends. Thanks again, my friend for another lovely review. :)) Sandra xx

This is definitely worth my last sixer. Wonderful epsode!

The following needs to be two paragraphs, one containing just the first sentence, and the rest beginning with the second.

Mildred lowered her head. <-- Mildred acting
Oh, my dear, sweet Mildred... <-- Different person speaking/thinking in second paragraph.

Mildred

    Aww, thank you so very much, my dear friend, for giving me your last 6! You are wonderful!! I've sorted that line out, more thanks for that. Two parts left, I can't wait to read the reviews on the last part. I'll give you a little hint seeing as you have been so nice. Mildred becomes quite unstable when she is ripped away from Tommy. She is so jealous of Veronica, she takes an axe to her and James and runs off with the children. It's so sad really, but that's the way life goes. Please don't give the ending away. It's a suprise! lol. xxx

Oh I do hope they have Charles committed at the very least. I'm with Veronica, Mildred deserves to be with Tommy. It just wouldn't be fair if they were separated now.

I do hope Veronica's speech works. Tommy wants to send his dad to the mental ward and Amelia is all for it, lol it serves the jerk right. I loved your bit of humor, the slip of the tongue. Two more parts instead of one, horray! It's very well-written, interesting start to finishe. Your characters their dialogue and actions seem real.

    I'm sure I will. Although it will be bittersweet, because it's the end.

Normally, I would shy away from a mid (well late) chapter in a novel, but that first line of dialogue got me, so I read through it...

Puts me in an odd position as a reviewer though, because now I have to judge it as isolated writing.

Just in case "I hopes it's not early retirement" should be hope? or intentional style of speech? -part 25 para 8

may be a personal taste, but not sure caps lock is necessary either, entirely up to you though.

That was some fun dialogue, and I got the time travel aspect from this chapter. I will certainly be looking out for more, and may see if I can make time to catch up a bit. Good read.

    Hi there, and welcome to Fanstory. Yes, you have come into the story at the end of the trilogy. The three novels have come almost full circle. Veronica is the time traveller and Mildred, who began in the first book as a maid, is also a time-traveller now. She has a mix of Cornish and East London dialect, which accounts for the odd spellings. Everyone who has read the whole series has made her the lead role, when in fact she wasn't anything, to begin with. She has now developed into something far greater than the main character, Veronica. I can't go into too much detail here because she is very much the focus of the final ever chapter that will be posted next week. The fact that the first line drew you into the story, has quite made my day. The capital letters at the end were my way of conveying Veronica shouting at the powers-that-be, who have controlled Veronica's time-travelling. Thank you so much for reading this part, and if you do read the earlier parts, I hope you enjoy them as well. :)) Sandra xx

and followed Tommy out[of] the house. (typo)
I guess she told them! LOL Mildred does deserve some happiness. After all they put her in harms way this time. What if she had been killed?
I am anxious to learn what finally happens to Charles and if it ruins his plan of attack. This was really an interesting chapter and I enjoyed it immensely. Good job Sandra! Nancy:)

    Oh, thank you for finding the missing 'of', Nancy, Barbara Wilky is always picking me up on that. lol. Thank you big time for the six stars, my friend. two parts to go. I hope you like the ending, ;) I might have a prologue to tidy up the ends, and then that will be my trilogy finished. To be quite honest with you, I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd do it. Thanks for always being with me, I really appreciate you a lot. Big hugs, my dear friend. :)) Sandra xx

Oh my, Charles has been sent home and now maybe Aunt Amelia can get him in a mental hospital, wouldn't that be great! And now Veronica has let the powers that be have it. Looking forward to the next chapter. Didn't see any errors. Rox

Wow, this was an amazing chapter Sandra. I really had to laugh at the story that Tommy shared with Mildred and his Aunt Amelia as well as unbeknowness to him, both his mother Gladys and Veronica. It was not just a request but an order Veronica presented to the powers, she was demanding that Mildred had the life she deserved, she wasn't thinking about herself, nor James, nor the children just Mildred. Fantastic job, very enjoyable. Smiles and hugs.
