Thank you! I'm very happy that you like the beginning! I'm glad it's reasonable to have Bertie leave. I've always felt for Bertie at the end of Right Ho, Jeeves. He wasn't very nice in the story, but Jeeves was pretty harsh, too. It reminds me of an aunt of mine. Whenever couples in the family would argue, she'd say, "You two deserve each other." It wasn't meant as a compliment. :)
I'm hoping that I'll find a way to divide all that talk into two. This chapter is just the start of the issues. As we've discussed there's a lot to be dealt with.
You help me immensely, my friend! Hugs.
