“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

Louise, just wanted to jump on and say how much I'm loving the newest book in the saga. Jeeves seems like a great character, I can't wait to see what you do with him! :)
Just a quick question. I am still  catching up on the early books and would love to know at what point does Ennis and Ellery's relationship become deeper and more of a love relationship? I have read ( several times) how they meet and their first "intimate" encounter, but would love to read the bits where they declared their love for the first time and haven't found it yet?  ???
BTW  my Ellery is in a new BBC drama starting on Saturday. It's a dramatisation of Robin Hood, and he's playing Guy of Gisbourne. It's been much hyped over here, and he's looking even more like I imagine Ellery, long locks and smouldering grey eyes! :P

SPOILER


I'm a little curious about the latest chapter. Ellery seems overly interested about Dupree and who he may or may not be getting it on with. He generally deflects gossip and comments about his own personal life (and we all know how tight lipped Ennis is on the subject).

Sooo... why is Ellery asking all and sundry about Dupree's private business?  ???

I do like the chapters set in the bar - we need Ellery back in his blue boots, charming the punters, especially with Ennis watching!  ;D

Sorry to hear about the probs with your server Louise. Hope it's not spoiled your evening.

oooh!  are there any publicity photos on the web about this BBC thing?  This I must see?

As far as your question goes: there is a moment where Ellery mentions to Ennis that he has a theory that Ennis might not like, and a couple of times Ennis gives himself a stare-down in the mirror in the bathroom, questioning what is happening to him with Ellery, and these I believe are the beginnings of their realization of being in love.  And Ellery seems far more aware than Ennis, at first, that it is happening.

ahhh, very good question.  Because right now - Ellery can't figure out what the heck Dupree is up to, or why he is letting people believe he is accepting advances from Jeeves!

I've really been wondering about this too....can't stop thinking about it!  ???  :-\

Heeee! Oh, I looove that too! Loved how worried Ennis was about Ellery wearing his earring too!  ;D

These chapters at the Red Stallion are just so damn entertaining, Louise!

But why would he care so much?? That's what I'm trying to figure out!

Thanks Louise, can you tell me which book it's in?
I'm afraid it's not Hugh Jackman, and yes there are loads of pics on the bbc website. He's called Richard Armitage.

Here he is as Monet.

Kate:

The first mention of Ellery's theory is in "Taking Chances"

Chapter 74:  Already Missing You

Ennis gives himself a talking to in the mirror in:

Chapter 75:   Home to Roost
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”
