Thanks for posting this wonderful chapter so quickly.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! They're engaged. I'm dead. That is all.

YES! Engaged! AND everyone who needs to know does.
BUT why not married before Anthony leaves for the war? There must be some way these two can "tie the knot" before Anthony leaves!

I won’t lie, I’ve got a lump the size of a golf ball in my throat, after reading that. So, so lovely!
Pip is going to have a Mama again, Anne gets another daughter and A&E are together, finally.
There’s just this damned war to get through. I cannot wait to see how you help them navigate their way through and see Anthony safely home. There IS a plan to get him home, right Classicist?
Thank you so much for the regular updates. In these trying times it’s a joy to be able to dip into the world of Edith and Anthony.
I do hope you and yours are continuing to be well.

Sigh... magnificent!

Thank you SO much for the speedy update! I am ridiculously happy that our beloveds are happily engaged but the course of true love never seems to run smoothly for our pair and I can’t help the feeling of foreboding I have with this war on the horizon...
Thank you again for this amazing story, I can’t wait to see how our pair navigate the challenges ahead of them.
I hope you’re staying safe and well.

These two last chapters have been quite gruelling...the home front and the shadow of the battlefields of France and Belgium. I don't think I've said it enough, dear Lady Classicist: you write superbly.

And you make us all cry, far too often...!

Aww, how sweet! Finally they confessed their feelings to each other! I hoped that Anthony wouldn’t go to serve, but i fear Edith won’t be able to make him stay at home. Hopefully they can make their relationship formal before he leaves for the war. Thanks for another marvelous chapter!

Lovely! Now they just need a wedding (Registry Office will do) and a wedding night before he ships off. And preferably a baby on the way as a result ;)

Hooray! Finally they've admitted it to each other. That was some mischievous torture you employed there, having everyone in the world interrupting them at every turn. Now, let us hope theyll be married before he goes off to war!

Oh finally, they said the I love you-s! But still there’s a long road ahead of them. What a great chapter, thx!

Don’t mind me, I’m a pile of gooey, squidgy happiness in the corner here.
“ "God, Edith, I've been falling in love with you for so long that I barely remember a time now when I wasn't."
This did it for me.
BUT he’s leaving?! Please tell me there will be some sort of settlement before he does and he will come home safely, right?
Thank you so much for this. Fabulous stuff as usual.

He's home! And they've said "I love you"! There's Kissing!
But Anthony, really you're a father and (basically) a husband, what are you doing agreeing to intelligence work? BE CAREFUL

I am so, so glad you have as much impulse control as I do and you chose to post this now, THANK YOU

Yeah! Both have admitted their feelings. Mutual "I love you's"!
BOO! Anthony is leaving the next day!? At least let Lady Strallan in on their exchange?
These two need to get hitched BEFORE Anthony goes to the Front! Please, please, please!
It will be agony to have to go thru the whole war with these 2 just engaged! Plus it will give Edith legal standing to share the responsibility of Pip and Locksley with Lady Strallan!

Oh, please make them see reason and get married before he leaves!
