SPOILER

Oh my word. That chapter had everything.

Some hot lovin'. Interuptions (naturally). Some comedy (I always find angry sarcastic Ellery amusing), and then angst when Dupree revealed who was on the tape.

OK - a couple of questions.

Why on earth didn't Dupree just hang on until the following day to speak to Ellery - the tape wasn't going anywhere?

And, the million dollar question - will Ellery watch the tape. I mean, he doesn't have to does he? Not for the investgation or anything.

As always, beathlessly awaiting...

Karen I second everything you said.  Great chapter, but dont understand why Dupree had to go and knock on Ellerys done when he'd been told not to.  No wonder Ellery was mad, I would have been too.  And being left handcuffed to the bed too....damn it Ennis, I wouldnt do that again if I were you!!!!!  I mean once you can forgive but twice?

And i dont get why everyone is worried about Ellery watching the tape with Beagle on it?  I mean, he's over him, isnt he? Why would seeing him with someone else send him over the edger? Or am I missing the point and/or being completely cold and heartless?

no I didn't answer the second question!  Stay tuned!  Soon you will know the answer!

[louisev]

you dont REALLY want to know what happens, do you?

[Kazza]

Of course not. Not until it comes perfectly packaged in the next chapter.

Lucise,  Rupert played a British lord in An Ideal Husband.  He was everything Jeeves would be.  Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver and Julianne Moore were also in it.  Keep up the great art work.  It adds greatly to the fun of the story.

Peace,  Homer

Hey Homer!

Thanks! 
I loved An Ideal Husband and Rupert was great in it!  I also saw him on PBS a few months back as Sherlock Holmes .. he was damn good in that too.  He is the 'Jeeves' in my head for sure.

RL has been keeping me away from Bettermost lately.  *Growl*  I have just barely had time to keep up with my favorite fics.  Just wanted to check in and say "hi", and say that I am still loving Ennis and Ellery.  This videotape thing is driving me nuts!  I hope we learn more soon!  I love this thread tons, so I hate to miss any posts, but I think I am a hundred pages behind! I hope to be able to do some serious reading soon!
