abusehi there,
first let me say, thanks for reviewing my Civil war story. I've at last found the time to work on it again and am writing the first chapter of the sequel. Trust me, I couldn't leave the two of them like that and I hope to not let the people who have enjoyed the story down.
Now... on to the review! I enjoyed this story very much. The dialogue is good and the style sharp and brisk. I wonder where you do your research, or perhaps if you are a history major because you have captured, "Victorian England" I presume? wonderfully. I don't think I've seen a more accurate portrayal of the era since Auston. Also, your story is funny, with a dry wit and humor I love. Also, I majored in English at school and didn't find any errors except for one and it was only in the first paragraph and just an editor's quibble. In other words, you don't have to fix it if you choose not to. I can't wait to see how the next chapter evolves. Bravo to the first three and thanks for the review of my story.
P.S.
You had mentioned in your review that you had a civil war story of your own. I'm wondering what became of it because I'd love to read it. If there's this much attention to historical detale in this story, I'd love to see what you do with an era both similar and different.
Warmest regards and keep up the sparkling work.

abuseShort, but good chapter. It's been a long while since an update, so I found myself scrambling to remember what exactly had happened in previous chapters. When I finally remembered, the chapter made more sense...Of course, I could have just gone back and read the others...but it's late and I wanted to see if I could remember. Sorry, off topic. Other than that, I liked the chapter and I'm interested to see where this trip to Paris will take our characters! Hope you'll update sooner this time, because I am looking forward to your next chapter!

abuseHey! Great story so far! its really interesting, tho i think some parts could be presented in a clearer way... like the Geoff's fight with Lucy and the beginning in general. Of course the 2nd chapter got way better near the end where Geoff starts realising what he has really got himself into. i think the story will get better now that you have the groundwork laid out. :D update soon...I want to read more! :D

abuseunbelievable! he was crying! how sweet! but what was percy thinking? if he was a chidlhood friend of Madeline's, wouldnt he look out for her happiness rather than depositing her with Geoff? I wish madeline would've slapped him or something, he makes me so mad. Update soon!

abuseO another good chapter! I really am excited to see where you take this, as I said in my first review, I think this story has major potential! Keep up the good work, I can't wait to watch all the bumps and hiccups in these two's awkward and forced relationships, should be entertaining! Looking forward to the next update!

abuseHey, I usually try to leave uber-detailed reviews but...well, this is going to be a tad lighter than normal cause I've got to catch the bus soon.

I think that overall what kept me reading was the whole prospect of your story. However, i suggest revising the first paragraph because that was the weakest part (for me). I think that it's the combination of a action-oriented scene and some hard-understood adjectives. I think the description that really threw me was the part where Lucy's dress was vibrating with her anger, it's a good analogy but made me feel like i was in the mood for an outrageous comedy...i think it's at odds with your tone of choice.

but that's my tid-bit for the day...i have more to say about your style, etc. but i'll have to get back to you on that (should you want it...)

abuseHaha. This is brilliant. I can't wait to se what happens. Definetly going on my Favourite's list.

Just a note, though: "snuck" isn't officially considered a form of "sneak". I think you should have used "sneaked", but other than that, everything is fine.

Keep up the good work. Update soon!!

abuseReally excellent first chapter! I loved it a lot! Quite an interesting premise for a story, I am really looking forward to reading the rest...I hope there is a "rest." Madeline seems really sweet, and Geoffrey incredibly in love with Lucy... I'm glad you chose the calmer, more sedated sister to be the one pushed into matrimony, and I can only hope that Geoffrey will find her less than boring as they are married and get to know one another. Although, I can only imagine what him actually falling in love with Madeline will do to Lucy! Without Geoffrey getting jealous when she flirts with someone else because he's in love with her sister...his wife! Ah, the possibilities are endless, looking forward to the update!
