ARCHIBALD Leach, is it? Cute touch. :D (In 1927, young Archie was still doing stage shows under his birth name. He wouldn't move to Hollywood and become Cary Grant until 1931.)

The note from the Cat is addressed to Robie - you should probably change that to Cowell. :)

Oh, I know his timeline-I decided to alter it because using his name was too fun, as was the implication of Ryan "knowing" him. This is not a completely accurate work-I've decided to let a lot of things slide for the fun of it (like the sexual politics) which I don't usually do when I write historical AUs.

Thanks for the catch, have changed it! I hope you enjoyed the story!
