Well, if Ellery is willing to spend the evening with Mrs. Emma Peel, I guess that can be counted as progress on his women issues LOL!

Poor Pinky and poor Wayne, too.  Kind of sweet that he thinks of Ellery and Colson as his parents.  I hope the fact that Wayne isn't allowed any access to Pinky will remind Ellery he needs to make an appointment with Stew......

Not quite the night Colson (or Ellery) had in mind, but I'm glad Wayne isn't alone. 

Thanks, Louise!

thanks, Marie.

Well for everyone who doesn't follow my blog, my cat Bill passed away during the night, and I am having bad moments, but I will try to keep on with the story, since it is good to stay busy.

thanks Souxi!  I have little bad moments and then cheer up, thinking about what a nice long, healthy live he lived, and how he was always a happy cat.

Wow - two chapters this evening!  I hope the writing is proving to be a comforting distraction for you.


SPOILERS





Aww...Wayne.  How sad. I did not see that coming, though, in retrospect, I probably should have.   That scare should prove to be a wake-up call for all of them in many respects, not the least of which is putting things in the proper perspective.  And I really didn't see this coming:

“Yer face don’t lie, Ellery. Now, I think I can go on.”

Uh oh.  Let's hope this is a temporary delusion on Wayne's part.  I'm glad Ellery has the means available to help - hard to think of all those men who didn't (and don't) have family or friends to provide that kind of assistance.  Ellery told Colson once that he opened the bar to give the gay population in Tourmaline a safe harbor of sorts, but I'll bet even he never imagined just how much it would be needed and how important it would become. 

A couple of very thoughtful and sobering chapters - really well done, Louise.  Thanks.
