Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll
yb:
The relationship between Dupree and Jeeves has really grown on me lately. But I don’t feel there’s sexual tension between them, I think Dupree treats Jeeves as someone who can give him advices and he feels comfortable with.
I have said it before but had put it aside, I think Dupree has some feeling towards Ennis but that’s something he was not aware of or has subconsciously ignored due to his loyalty to Ellery. After reading the last 2 chapters, this feeling about Dupree has surfaced again. Now that Dupree is beginning to face this question whether he’s straight or gay, he’ll be even more confused and conflicted. I may be wrong though but that’s okay, this is a very intriguing and interesting part of the story and I look forward to how this will unfold.

Of course, we could have Jeremy go over to see Ennis and Ellery to talk about his "situation". Then after they knock back a bottle or two, the three of them end up in bed together. <big evil grin> ;D

The Dupree situation is not a simple one, and isn't going to be resolved in a quick series-ending one night stand - for all of you who are concerned about that. He is a complex character, and an important one, for both of our main characters and for the other people in the story, and for that may need some individual treatment!

Good morning everyone. As always, I love the discussions here about the latest developments in the saga, and now we seem to be focused on Dupree, who, I agree, is a fantastic and very compelling character. Louise, I agree with you, Dupree is a very very complex character and I think thats what makes him so appealing.
I am a little confused about what to think about him, whether he's straight or gay, or bi, or just a bit confused and working in a gay bar has probably brought all this home to him. My gut feeling is, he's attracted to men, but doesnt have a clue what to do about it. I certainly dont think he should do any experimenting with Jeeves, he's so not the right person for Dupree's first time (or any time for that matter), but if someone does catch his eye in the Red Stallion, I think he should try and see how it goes.
I do think there is mutal attraction between him and Ennis, although I find it hard to think about that, because I dont want anything or anyone to come between Ennis and Ellery, no matter how much I like Dupree. He should find his own Ennis. I really hope he does.
I dont think I've added much to the debate, apart from confuse it some more, but thats my opinion, for what its worth.

Morning Souxi, awww, what a gorgeous cat. I love cats, but they dont love me, I am allergic to them, unfortunately. :(
The fireworks round ours went on for ever it seemed to me - just when I thought they'd stopped, another one would explode and scare me half to death!!!! I dont mind a nice firework display, but once thats done, I want Bonfire Night to be over. My kids enjoyed it, but I was wishing I was at home in my pajamas drinking a hot chocolate reading slash. ;)

OK - this is Charles Dance when somewhat younger. What's not to like?
