Caroline that was spectacular.
The poigniancy of the story and the characterisation was amazing. The way you describe Lois' feelings gives them such depth and meaning. I love the way you've written Martha here as well.
Brava!
All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans done for us?
