Good to have you back with this story, Jenni! thumbsup

I love your portrait of Father Ninian. He is so sweet. I wonder what that homeless person knows, the one that Father Ninian has to bribe with holy communion wine to make him stay!

As for Miss Bowen-Timmons, well... clearly she is part of the reason for why Thomas turned out the way he did, though I'll insist he has to bear most of the blame for it himself. And now I wonder, did he send a letter bomb to his aunt? eek
