Hmm. A very long chapter that touches so many things. The two evils eliminated, though poor Bingley has reached the end of his rope it seems. Shrieks-a-Lot …. After living up to her name well beyond what anyone could imagine… is put in her place. Not a place she will enjoy, but even without dragons this move is satisfying. Did Lakos commit those murders. Didn’t Zander task him with finding the murderer? I’ll have to reread that, but pretty sure he said it wasn’t a host. Looking forward to seeing interactions between Jane and Richard.

Poor Larkos... why is he being suspected of a double homicide? He's just an easily bored, fun-loving guy. LOL

I can see that. Just loves a good joke!

Editing: ‘Hopefully, your nerves will improve before you are forced to live here.’ “Here” should be “there.”

Discussion: (rubs hands with glee) This is getting better and better! So Lakos killed Caroline and Lydia? Interesting, if that is the case. How dud /Sir William not recognize his own son? More dragon magic?

Lovely that Mrs. Shrieks-For-A-Living gets felled by a dragon losing his last ounce of patience! That made me laugh out loud! It’s a good thing I live alone, else I would be committed!

Mrs. Bennet’s behavior is so over the top it is almost comical. Instead it is just sad.

I was hoping for an over exaggerated comedic rendition of Fanny for the reader, frustrating/irritating for Hypnos, and sad for Mr. B.

Well I guess you got the comedic notes!

What a very informative long chapter. Wickham, Lydia and Caroline dead! Finally Mr. Bennet takes a stand! The theatrics of Mrs. Bennet were laughable. Will we find out how she makes out in the Dower house?

Cimora Black's avatar

Anything is possible. 👍

Definitely!

Wow! Shrieks-A-Lot almost exhausted me with her theatrics! They were very impressive. Larkos seems to be a Wickham in dragon form. What will he do to poor John Lucas? Poor Hypnos. Shrieks-A-Lot has nearly unraveled him for sure. Hopefully the move to the dower house (I can’t believe Bennet has done something at last!!!) will allow for some recovery. Happy Easter all! Tomorrow is my birthday (a significant one). I’m gonna be eating a LOT of chocolate. 🍫 🍫🍫

Mrs Shrieks for a Living (aka Shrieks ALot) also wishes you a very loud shrill birthday. Both of you. Mr. Bennet doesn’t care.
