Comment from heart of Lou
This is another well written chapter about the time travelling ladies in the time of the suffragettes. Yes, I worry about Gladys too, her husband is a brute. Do they have to be careful not to reveal that they come from a time in the future?

Thank you so much, Lou, for your lovely review. Yes, they have to be very careful. Unless there is a special occasion as there was in the previous book. But, mostly, they have to keep that secret in case the time line is put in peril. Thank you, my friend. Sandra :)) xx

:))) The hilarious, wide-eyed, quirky expression she threw me, made me laugh. I wagged my finger at her. "Behave yourself before Gladys sees you and thinks you need to be locked away!"---LOVED this. Made me laugh! :))
As Mildred stood up to put her bag on the top of the tallboy, I was struck by how tired she looked. "It's been a long day, hasn't it? I think you'll sleep well tonight," I said softly.--
SO MY thoughts: But Mildred had died and was now come back, so would she look tired? You may have a plan for where this is going, so ignore me if that is so!!. :-))
WONDERFUL chapter! I really, really liked it!! I love your creativity so much!! I"m excited to read more.

Thank you so much for the lovely shiny 6 stars, Rebecca, and your wonderful review. :))
Mildred is as human as you and me now, but there is more to Mildred than anyone knows, YET. All the reasons why they are both there are about to be revealed, but there are other reasons no one knows about yet, including the Powers! :)) lol. Big hugs, my friend. :))

Good to know. I'm jumping ahead of you I think. :-)) I'll try not to figure it all out before you reveal it to me...hee hee :))

It feels strange that Veronica hasn't fully come back this time. Mildred's on her so in a way, but she's handling things well. I really like Amelia, such a gracious grand dame.

Don't worry, Yvonne, Veronica will be back totally very soon. It's been quite a build up, but necessary for the main plot. Thank you so much, my friend. I like it that you voice your thoughts. Yes, Amelia is a lovely lady. :)) Big hugs my friend. Sandra xxx
Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi, Sandra,
Another wonderful chapter. I worry about Mildred, but now I'm even more worried because Amelia is confiding something that was rarely if ever, talked about back then. Abusive husbands were just exercising their rights. (Oy - that hurt just to type.)
Thank you for sharing this story. I'm already looking forward to the next chapter,

That's right. Amelia knows what her brother was like and his son, Charles, is just the same. It wasn't 'abuse' in those days, in fact, until 1975 in the UK, men were still legally entitled to beat their wives. I was amazed when I read that. Thank you, Patty, for your lovely review and continued interest. Big hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx
I've finished your book and will be putting a review on Amazon. . :)) It was excellent!!

YAY! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book. I am over the moon with how it turned out. THANK YOU for your purchase and review.

I've put my review on .uk, where I bought it from. They didn't let me put one on .com, they said I had to have spent $50 before I can review anything. I'm going to have a word with them, I've spent a fortune on Amazon, both sides. I've had people who've bought my book tell me the same thing, that is so unfair. :(
At least I've put one on the .uk side. It was so good, Patty. xx
-
Wow. That is ridiculous. I didn't even think to post a review for you on .uk. Let me know what Amazon says. I've had an account since 2000, sometimes that means something.
Thank you so much

I've had one since, 2011. It's not good customer service is it?

Oh, and you are very welcome! lol.
Comment from Mistydawn
I hope everything goes well for them tomorrow and Charles doesn't get wind of what's going on. This is another well-written piece, very interesting, descriptive. Your characters and dialogue seems real.

Comment from Ben Colder
I know the feeling about not having any coins and felling in stranded. I was in Paris France one as a young soldier and faced the same but never had a room with friend to go too.
Mailed your sticker today. .

Comment from l.d.lauritzen
I think you do a good job with your dialogue, it's realistic and flows well. I'm a writer of short stories, mysteries, and westerns. the part I have a problem with is about half-way through I get a description of the room she's entering. But I don't have a clear vision of what any of the women look like or what they're wearing. I like the dialect part but give me some inkling of what she looks like. The house, the part of the city they are in, smells, touching, I think your story is about something of importance that occurred in another time. That's what those details will do to lend the story more substance. Good job. Keep writing.

Thank you so much for your very constructive review. I see what you mean, and will go over this, and earlier parts to see where I can improve them. It's a fine line when it's comes to giving enough detail to put the reader in the room, and overdoing it and putting readers off. I have to find that line! lol. I'm pleased, though, that you enjoyed the story, dialogue and that it flowed well. Thank you! :)) Sandra x
Comment from royowen
Poor Mildred had to tell Gladys she couldn't go back to Cornwall, because she had lost her coach ticket, but she'd missed it anyway, and had no money to do it anyway, so Gladys said Mildred could stay with her Aunt Amelia, she says she's worried about her niece being hurt by Charles. Well done Sandra, excellent scribing, blessings, Roy
Typo : what Gladys's Aunt(')s full name was.

Hi Sandra, this is a lovely chapter. Mildred and Veronica are a lovely team. Although Mildred is only visible to the world the two of them work as a team. Yeah; I'm also looking forward to see what is going to happen. I love the story. Hugs. Ulla xxx

Aw, thank you, Ulla. This was sort of the beginning of what will eventually be the main problem. I didn't want to rush it and hurry into the next part, because that would have ruined it. I'm just so pleased you liked it, and thanks again for the 6 stars. :) Big hugs, my friend. Sandra xx
