Contrary to expectations, here is a late-breaking Chesterfield chapter, full of Nick, Jeremy, Jeeves AND Wes!

http://louisev.livejournal.com/230485.html  "The Chesterfield Fortune: 49"

And here I had braced myself - :laugh: - for no update.  I don't do this often but ..... Squee!!!!  Off to read......


SPOILERS




And to think that I thought things were complicated before........

You gave us so much info through the great dialogue.  Wes sure made the right call in promoting Jeremy.  No photographer?  Sheesh.  And poor Jeremy ...first the rape case reminding him of his sister and now this whole Keynes mess on top of all his other stress.  I wonder how much he will tell Wes......and what will Nick's reaction be? 

In the meantime, I'm guessing Colson is going to be getting an earful from Wes.  I don't think this is a situation we've seen before.....

Great chapter, thanks!
Marie

yes Colson is going to have his talking-to I dare say!  Just in time for the weekend, look for two chapters. I hope.

Ah, Louise, I love reading classic lines as they are created. Who else could have come up with this?

“No better sight than a mostly naked man in a strip a spandex runnin out a the water streamin wet, sweetheart, an I ain’t lyin.”

Perfect, just perfect.

Thanks!

Another Ellery classic, that's for sure!  LOL!  And then telling Wes that Colson is like a little semi-trailer truck....that's our Ellery.  And Colson watching Ellery watching the mostly naked men should stir up some of that free-floating jealousy that Ellery likes to take advantage of.   ;D

And this was sweet:  “I don’t want em ta...” Colson gulped, his voice breaking. “I don’t want em ta get worse.”    Aww...Colson.

It's not easy handling both Colson and Ellery, but, as usual, Fearless Leader was up to the task.  Great job!

Thanks,
Marie

sorry for not writing a chapter today.  I had to slog through a review of a 6-hour computer based training after finishing the final 2 hours of it, then study, then ... take an online certification exam.

Then do another 4 hour CBT.  All in time for Monday morning at 9 because I counted weeks wrong.

No Saturday for me.  But I passed the cert, I got half of the second training done, and thank the powers that be there is no second test, because I would be ordering Chinese take-away and not getting my wash done at all if that were the case.

The end is in sight.  But I am bushed so I'm going to bed.

Tomorrow I have two hours of CBT left, bread and cake to make, and packing to go to Egham for the week for the training that I spent the weekend doing the prerequisites for.  But there should be time for some Chesterfield in there between mix and rise... or after paring the apples.

Louise, we all know you have a life so don't worry if you can't deliver a chapter. We understand. Totally!

the baking is in the oven and my courses are completed for - gasp! tomorrow! - the sun has come out briefly and I am working on chapter 51 at this hour.

For anyone who hasn't checked of late, look at my new improved Recent page:  I spent some mindless hours last night installing LJ Cuts, which I will be using from now on.
