Quick reply from a friend's computer (mine has uttered it's last gasp - will have a new one up and running soon...money, money, money, sigh...has to be scraped together for the one I want.....)

It's fine if Jessamy figures out the connection. Will she share it with the others, I wonder. Or keep it secret.

Must get off and go home now. Will look in when I can

Yay!!!!! But condolences on the 'puter's demise. What a nuisance.

Good luck with the scraping, rummaging around the back of the sofa. etc..

I think unless forced by circumstances she would keep it to herself. I don't think she would trust her brothers or Edwin to "be cool about it". Karl, already an outsider himself, might be a possibility especially if she thought he knew already. William has helped and protected her and I think she would feel obliged to return the favour... not that her inclination wouldn't be that way anyway. I suspect she will be delighted if her instant conviction that Willem is a bit "magical" is confirmed but I won't really find out til I try and write it....

I tossed something out about Edwin's father who's apparently named Tate. I am so awful with names. Anyway, let me know if it's a good enough lead in to a possible (ridiculous) conversation of sorts. I mentioned Erling 'standing over' him so let me know if I should change that.

Mithalwen · 06-23-2011, 05:12 PM

Yes I think I can do something with that. Assuming that Tate would perceive any comment as berating.... What sort of shop does he have?

Durelin · 06-23-2011, 06:50 PM

Yea, he probably would. Hahah. Not that he's really a formed character... Oh yea, I glossed over that didn't I...totally not on purpose because I'm completely un-creative... I was actually thinking he was a cobbler at one point. So he has a cobbler's workshop that may or may not be at the front of his house. Yea.

Mithalwen · 06-23-2011, 07:05 PM

Yes Dury of course you are uncreative....

Right ho..well will skim back over what I have already posted for ERling and try andpost tomorrow but I won't guaruntee it as have a ton of stuff to do and then taking my godson out.

OK well I will try and do Jessie tomorrow but Sunday is more likely. I may slot it in before the post for Erling. Let me know if I need to change anything.
