Damn, damn, double damn...Poor Tom, poor Anne (oh, there is the yea Sparrows! on the Druid's walk, lovely frisky Jack and Harry!)
"She would have kissed his cheek, but he turned to her and embraced her, burying his face against her hair for a moment, something he hadn’t done in a good many years" Old habits of children now grown are some of the most treasured in the 'verse--this was touching and pretty.
For me, it's one thing to anticipate (nothing can match my sweet little imagination). Another thing entirely to continue to be wiggley once the ride had begun...you go to the head of the class, my dear piratista...
You remember how I love the cliffhangers, don't you? In a way I'm sorry for all the angst, I do get bored with romances in which the couple is at odds until the end, which was one reason I began writing the Harry & the Pirate stories -- Jack and Harry have been in love almost from the beginning of their acquaintance. But hopefully this tale won't get boring, there is Jack's story, and then there's some Daisy and William Weatherby coming up, too.
I am so happy you liked the chapter in spite of the angst. Thank you so much for reading and commenting!
Oh no! I really hope it will turn out better for Tom and Anne later on, I'm so sad for Tom. Don't be around those wealthy gamblers too often!
“No, indeed,” agreed Weatherby. “Why little Anne has loved him all her life!”
You tell them Gov! ;///; I also made a little fanart of present day Harry and the Pirate Harry(And Gov and Chev), it is here: http://community.livejournal.com/pirategasm/2667030.html Everyone looks different again, but this is how I picture them old, though Harry of course only aged a little bit.

I expect it might. ;-)
More fanart! And I do love the costumes. Ah that Chevalle -- he does have a tendre for the Gov. Thank you so much for doing that for me, and for reading and commenting, too.
Jack is certainly a capable man, and Tom is a chip off the old block, which is mostly a good thing. Thank you very much for reading and commenting! I'm so happy you're enjoying the story!
Well, at least it was a good excuse for Tom to go out drinking. Poor potted plant. Love Tom winning at cards and getting a ride home. I have faith it will all work out for T&A; there wouldn't be much story if they got together right away. Pleased some others will be included also in the romance aspects.

Very true, that "thwarted romance" thing is interesting to write in some ways.
There are characters yet to be introduced in the romance aspects. One can never have too many, I think. *g* So glad you're enjoying it, and I really appreciate all the comments.
Anne always seemed willful in her determination to be with Tom, that she had such definite ideas of what was appropriate (like the puppy) and though Tom might start out on a path, it seems Anne was the deciding factor==one of the aspects of their youthful attachment. They were partners even though they were young--equal even though she was willing to accept his lead.

I think Chevalle would like Weatherby, because he is genuinely kind and charming, and of course his sense of fashion!

Anne used to be quite the imp when she was a little girl, though Caroline's influence has had it's effect in recent years. We shall see!
