Chapter 4 is all in italics. I'm enjoying your story .

Nice story! Thank you for sharing. I am only readingdiscovering it now.
It is quick to read, quite different from canon, but keeping with the misunderstandings

I read this awhile ago. Enjoyed it then and enjoyed it again today. Was sorry when it ended.

Thanks for sharing; I really appreciate you posting your stories here.

I hate to hear that people so criticized your writing (or anyone's!). As you say, you posted them here for free. I have read (and bought) some of your stories. Thanks for posting here! I look forward to reading the rest of this story.

I would love to see you expand this into a novel. What a great story! Utterly charming.

This was very enjoyable! It is lovely reading this old pieces from you! Thank you.

Finally finished reading it! Really enjoyed reading this story (-:(-:(-:(-:
Thank you for sharing it with us! I loved it (-:(-:(-:(-:

Well for your first effort that was pretty great. I agree it could be longer. Thanks Elizabeth. Colleen

Very cute little story. A sequel would be worth writing. Thank you.

Really loved this story. I'm making a request for a Mary/Colonel sequel, perhaps starting where they meet in this story and continuing past that into marriage and their adventures afterwards!

What a sweet story! Loved it! Yes, it could be expanded in between the Exhibition and the cold toes...i do so love details about fashion and weddings as well as room descriptions. I also love comeuppance to those who deserve it hopefully followed by amendment of life!

Thank you for sharing! It is so full of ideas and creative, it was a joy to read.

Yay!

Just loved this chapter and I can’t wait for more,
