I had that idea a few chapters back!! Why doesn't Mildred start a whispering campaign! Oh, this just keeps getting better and better!! (Did I mention how much I'm loving it?!!) You are an exceptional writer, Ma'am!! I'd even read a SPORTS COLUMN if you wrote one. (I never thought I'd see myself write those words to ANYONE!!!) xo

I'm good at creating tension in a marbles tournament, lol. Do you have them in America? My brother always cheated! xxxxx

No, but I wish we did. My husband used to play when he was little, but not as a (quasi) grown-up. xo
Comment from JudyE
The action is moving on nicely and the characters are well-drawn and very natural in their speech.
Just one point:
falling down the stairs was quite revealing, though. - I would delete the comma in this passage.
Cheers. Judy

Thank you so very much for the six stars, Judy, and the lovely review. You are a diamond! I'll check the comma in a moment. Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xxx
Comment from rwilliam
These were all accepted with a gracious smile since they had only been wearing thin hospital gowns before that.---I'd remove the last two words of this sentence. They are not needed.
"Yes, it is. Come on, let's go and see if they're in there." Gladys was already crossing the road, with me chasing her like an invisible shadow.--LOVED this sentence so much!
We sat in silence for a few minutes before Gladys spoke. "I think my Tommy has a ... fondness for Mildred. How can that work?"--Maybe I'm mistaken, but from my. understanding & the description of Mildred, I pictured her as an older lady, like say 60's ...so this was confusing to me. Is she younger?
Great chapter. I need to get caught up so I'm going back to read what I've missed.

Go back and read the first part of part one in this book, it tells you what happened. Do you remember at the end of the last book Mildred died and was returned to Veronica a much younger Mildred? Gradually, you find out more about her, she is actually more than she seems. She is now around 28 years old, but still the same lovable, gentle Mildred. Thank you again, my dear friend, for another wonderful review. Biggest hugs. :) Sandra xxx

OH my goodness. You are right. I totally forgot. My apologies! It's hard isn't it when you live with and write a piece and people miss these things. I am sorry. OK that reminder is very helpful! TY. :)

Not at all, Rebecca, I think it's harder because we have to wait to 'turn the page' and read on, and also be reading other books at the same time. We are bound to forget things. Just pleased I could jog your memory. :)) I'm just as bad. xxx
Comment from LIJ Red
Not good to walk in when the show's well underway....seems to me like London during the Blitz...then I see the note about time travelers, and am stumped again...who would go forward or backward in time to that
nasty theater of war...I do know you are short of spags, with good grammar and a fast moving line...excellent...

lol! It must hard to do that. This is the last book in the time travel trilogy. Veronica and Mildred have to stop the Vice Admiral changing the location of the biggest sea battle in Europe in 1916 because we would lose that war which would change history totally. Having the German's win WW1 would mean WW2 wouldn't happen. I wondered what our lives would be like if it had happened that way.... Thank you so much for coming over to take a peek into my story, that was so kind of you. :)) Sandra (I hope that makes sense!)
Comment from sandragee
While trying to save the future, Gladys still has time to be a mother. After she sees her son kiss Mildred, she wonders, "How can that work?" An interesting question. I can't wait to see how you handle that situation.
The women have come up with the scheme to haunt Charles while he's with Winston Churchill. You make the plan sound reasonable. You come up with the most unimaginable situations and make them seem real.
Great chapter.

Comment from rspoet
Hello Sandra,
Winston Churchill, well why not go for the top. That should make a great scene.
It seems the threads of a new scheme are being sewn.
And it is good to bring Amelia back into the plot.
All hands on deck. The V P won't stand a chance.
Mildred certainly is interacting with the past and Tommy.
That could prove interesting or who knows what...
Well done, my friend
Robert

Hi Robert, thank you so much for another lovely review. I am really going to have some fun with the Churchill scene, and can't wait to get into his office. Thank you, my friend, for the six shiny stars, and I'm delighted you enjoyed this part. Big hugs. Sandra xxx
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Another good chapter, Sandra.
-I like the opening paragraphs
with an update on the patients.
-It's always good when
Mildred enters the picture.
-She has a great idea of spooking
the V.A. in Churchill's office!
-What better way to make
him out a fool, and lose favor.
-It's hard for me to picture
Mildred and Tommy,
especially when he kisses her.
-That will be an interesting
situation to resolve!
-She did some fast thinking about
what Gladys had been telling her.
-I like the ending when Tommy
offers some observations about
his father, and Gladys mentions Amelia.
-It should be very interesting.

Thank you so very much for this lovely review and all the shiny stars, Pam. I'm so pleased you like the idea Mildred has come up with about Churchill. Amelia will be pleased to come back into the picture, I'm sure. Thank you, dear friend, for your constant help and support. Biggest hugs. Sandra xxxx

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Sandra. Mildred does have good ideas! A smart lady🙂
Comment from wordsfromsue
Oh, I enjoyed this chapter! And I liked the sentiments you expressed about the atmosphere inside the church.
Can't wait to read about their encounter with Winston Churchill!
One possible correction:
"I can't see her (omit 'her') Mildred anywhere," I said as we walked further into the building. "Can you see Tommy?"

Oh thank you for spotting that!! I'd just changed that sentence and that 'her' sneaked back in, or hid!!! I've removed it now. Thank you so much for another lovely review and for giving this part another 6 stars! Sending you a big hug!! :)) Sandra xxx
Comment from tfawcus
I thought this a particularly good chapter, Sandra. The incidental detail about what was going on after the bombing made the scene extremely realistic. The conversations flow really well and have been cleverly used both to remind your readers about parts of the backstory and to move the action along. I'm really beginning to feel that I know all of these characters at first hand.
I'd gladly point out the errors - but I couldn't find any!

Thank you so much, Tony. That is such a nice review. It's nice when someone gets to know the characters that well and tells me. Thank you, and a big hug for the 6 lovely stars, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx
Comment from diamondbogle
I thought this was very well written and flowed nicely. I like how it gives enough to the imagination to. I don't feel like I was stuck in the authors point of view but rather my own, if that makes sense.
