GroobieAs Marcus mentioned earlier the showdown is coming with the next part! But before that happens, it always nice to put a little side point or two into a part.
LOL...I'm glad you were able to use the story about Napoleon's wedding night.
Originally the plan was to mention his retreat from Russia or Waterloo, but I decided on something lighter, and when you mentioned knowing quite a bit about the French Emperor it was a natural fit! It was funny to read how he and Josephine were wed, their coronation years later as Emperor and Empress more than made up for it!
The parallels between your Lana and Josephine hit a little too close to home. The relationship began more like a transaction than a romance, with both getting something from the other - social connections and an escape from poverty. But in the end, they appear to have truly loved one another, as Gregory seems to love Lana.
Agreed. Lana wanted money to finance her expedition and Gregory wants an heir. Along the way, they have become more than a little fond of each other.
And yet, Napoleon cheated on Josephine throughout their marriage, so Lana had better be on the lookout for the next young thing to come around the corner.
No that won't happen in this case; Gregory has been a villian, but oddly enough he holds true to his marriage vows. In the very beginning when Arianna threw herself at him, Gregory stated quite clearly that having an affair with a married woman was beneath him. Despite how they got together, this unusual couple will stay together.
Great developments throughout this chapter. The plot is coming towards a climax, and Lois and Clark are moving closer to each other. I'm happy I was able to catch up with the story today and looking forward to the next part.
That means a lot to me. Everyone is busy, but it is great whenever someone drops a line of appreciation!
