Ohhh, you are cruel, my sweet friend! Juuuuuust as I was feeling all happy and content, BOOOM! I am thrust into another time travel, this one even more earth-shattering (literally, it seems!) than the last!! Now I have to read the next chapter immediately. (It sounds like I'm lamenting about that, but I'm actually quite happy. xo)

Bless your heart! It's nice reading your reviews, it brings these part back to me. Unfortunately, things get worse for both of them but in different ways soon. Thanks again, you wonderful lady. Now I'm going to finish packing. I'm looking forward to being in the sunshine! xx xxx

Wow! What an exciting ending! What on Earth is going on?
Mildred and Veronica are certainly having some interesting adventures. :-)
Mildred's sense of humor is fun to see. :-)

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
What a joy to read. I am glad I took a chance on the fantasy/time traveling short story/chapter. Your use of dialogue is well-written. I enjoyed that you don't just use he said, and then she said, but you offer an action packed story instead. :)

Comment from sandragee
Veronica and Mildred are back in 1996 long enough to have a proper cup of tea, and spend some quality time with James and the kids before they are in another situation that has Mildred screaming, "Oh, Lordy. Run, Miss Veronica-run!"
You are great at keeping the suspense going. Veronica and Mildred realize what has happened, but we, the readers, have to wait until the next installment to find out.
Great job.

Hi Sandra. Your writing is top notch, clear, interesting with realistic dialogue. I enjoyed reading this chapter even though I only peek in once in a while. You left your readers with a cliffhanger. Marilyn

I just love cliffhangers when I write them, but hate it when I'm reading them, lol. Phyllis was the worst culprit, and she moans at me!! LOL. Thank you so much, Marilyn, for another lovely review. Big hugs. :)) Sandra xx

Hello Sandra,
You're back in your element in this chapter with the dialogue between Mildred and Veronica, and the humor. That was a great choice to have Mildred says she was Lady Edith Humphries, Sir John's mother. I think everyone will get a kick out of that bit of quick thinking.
I always enjoy learning the quirky little difference between OLD English and modern American English. I like the maths, there are, after all, many subjects in math. I taught many maths in my career.
And then, out of the frying pan, into the fire. Sounds like our heroes have moved forward to one of the world wars, likely WWII. Of course, I could be wrong. The Powers may have made a mistake and sent them forward all the way to the Apocalypse. lol
I think you may be related to H. G. Wells. You've a bit of the Time Machine in ya.
Excellent chapter, my friend.
Robert

I was Dear Herbert's sister in my previous life! lol. There are quite a few differences in UK English, and US English, and I'm often picked up on so-called spelling mistakes. I had to put the * over Maths, as that's another one I've been picked up on. The funniest difference is your thongs, which we call flip-flops. You can look up on Google what a thong is in England! :)) Now, you know I'm not going to tell you where they are now, and no, the powers haven't made a mistake. You will see how it all comes together in the next few parts. Thank you so much, Robert, for this fun review, and your lovely comments. The six stars look amazing sitting above them. :)) I'm really pleased you liked this part. Thanks, my friend. :)) Sandra xx
Comment from Pam (respa)
-A very good chapter that
flows and progresses well, Sandra.
-There is humor, with Mildred's
quick thinking about the address,
and a good reference to a previous book.
-There is the family together, enjoying
each other's company, and then
suspense and mystery at the end.
-It was also nice to get an update on the children.
-The ending is effective, and we have no
clue what has happened so it will
be interesting to find out.
-I guess you would say it
is a good cliffhanger!

HI Pam, only one person has guessed where they are, and she isn't really sure. All will be revealed soon. I've been working on the next part today, so it's in it's rough first draft. I'm glad you liked the family scenes, and the ending. We have come to the time that over the next couple of parts, Veronica and Mildred's assignment will be revealed. It's taken longer in this book, but the previous chapters were really important to the plot.
Thank you so much for this lovely review, and all those stunning stars. Big hugs, my friend. Sandra xxxx

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Sandra. An idea crossed my mind about where they were, but I think my time period would be way off from what you have planned. I will look forward to the next assignment and adventure for Ver. and Mildred! Have a great weekend. Did you get the snow they mentioned in the news in Britain? We are getting wind and rain here.
-
No snow, but very cold. We had a heavy frost last night and had to scrape the ice off the car this morning. Fortunately, we live right on the South Coast, so we rarely get the snow. When we do, the rest of the country gets it a lot worse. This is when I hibernate!!
I wonder what your idea was? So long as it is possible for the characters to still be around and active in that period.... :))
-
Glad you didn't get the snow. I don't think my idea gets close to the time period you are going to do, but if it does, I'll let you know.

What a clever girl you are! By referring to everyday things between the chaos that Mildred and Veronica's time travelling creates, you make the whole story so believable. I also loved the reference to Sir John's domineering mother. It reminds the reader about your first book, and it also adds an amusing twist.
I can't wait for the next instalment!

Comment from pbomar1115
I feel a little bit hyped. In actuality, these women or at least Mildred maybe have a nervous breakdown. Their lives jump from danger to safety to nurturing to possible harm every minute. Veronica and Mildred's life is a rollercoaster. Excitement agrees with Veronica.

Thank you so much, Phillip, for your lovely review. Mildred is being well looked after by the 'powers that be' they won't let any harm come to her, and Veronica is now an experienced time-traveller who can adapt easily now. Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xx

The three others shook their heads. "Lady Edith Humphries, the Manor House, Truro," Leif told them with a chuckle. "Sir John's domineering mother."--What a juicy piece of info and how funny! I loved it! :-)
Telling us about the kids and what they are doing in school, her husband working until 4;00 a.m....those touches make the story seem real and believable. I like that. This is great writing. Well done!
WOW, what a cliff hanger of an ending. I can't wait to read more. Well done, girl!!!
