' ...there was one gentleman of indeterminate age, slim and elegant in black with silver lacing, and very good-looking...'

Very apt description! It's no surprise Sera was instantly taken with him. And very good to know the Sparrows will show her the kindness she deserves.

"Welcome to Fleet Hall, my lord." My lord made a face.

LOL!

"Not another word, Jack Sparrow, or I promise you will pay dearly for your temerity."

Now is that any way to speak to a new-fledged lord...? Yeah, I guess it is.

Fine chapter! And I'm curious about this upcoming Russian dude.

Russian dude? Not sure where you got that idea, but now I keep thinking of writing a scene with a Russian in it, just for fun. *g*

Harry has gotten rather demanding, hasn't she? *g*

So happy you enjoyed the chapter! Thank you very much for commenting.

'Aloysius' is a name associated with Eastern Europe- at least that's where some of the most famous ones have originated. But I guess this upcoming guy could be a Pole or a Lithuanian.

Jack conversing with a Russian could get interesting! As Marx once wrote to Engels, "As soon as a Russian worms his way in, all hell breaks loose."

'Aloysius' is also a saint's name, but maybe the priest had a parent from Eastern Europe.

*weaves backstory for minor OC*

Miss Seraphina Whibble? LOL, I love the names you come up with!

(By the way, I'm not reading this yet, or else I'd be leaving proper reviews. I'm just copying and pasting them as each chapter comes out so I can read them on my Nook after I finish my re-read!)

[geekmama]

Ha! Glad you liked the name. I do hope you'll enjoy the story when you read it. :)

Seraphina Whibble! Brilliant! I like her - she's delightfully nervous and sweet and I'm glad she approves of the Sparrows.

It's always fun "seeing" the canon characters through new eyes. So glad you enjoyed Seraphina Whibble's take on the Sparrows. Thank you very much for commenting.

In CotBP Jack seems to have a hard time winning any of the other main characters over at first, though he does eventually. I think Seraphina Whibble doesn't entirely trust him at first, either, but by the evening she's been won over. The details of the process were mostly left out because I wanted to keep the story moving. But the twenty years between CotBP and this story have changed Jack in certain ways, too, and he's gone out of his way to tone down his usual piratical style for this visit to the land of his birth.

Rambling. So glad you enjoyed this. Thank you very much for commenting, both here and on ff.net!!

Whibble! ;///; I love the scene with Jack and her, and I love Alfred as well, and Harry and Jack being their naughty selves!

Thank you! I can never resist creating new OC's, they are such a good way to shine a different light on the canon characters.
