Hi Smurph,

Well you did again! But you did warn me this might happen so I expected it. Your descriptions of James and how he felt as he made his way to the court house is palpable and compelling. I am touched by James' hesitation to speak but he will do it no matter what it takes. He is so young to have such responsibility. Good writing here...bravo! Blessings chey

It was wonderful to see the kindness of Marie Ann's grandmother towards James. She, at least, could acknowledge that James was a victim too.


As usual, I am avidly looking forward to the next installment.

So pleased to see that your computer problems seem to have abated for a time. Hugs, d

James has found some moral support. This is very well written.With all the crowds, there should be a circus atmosphere.

This had me on pins and needles as I wait, along with James for the courtroom drama to unfold. I will be interested to hear what James has to say. He seems to be quite articulate, which I admire. I was glad you included Mac and Mr. Hurley to give him support and he didn't have to face the ordeal alone. Well done. Linda

    You caught me before I left. Thanks for catching the all too many spags. I do plan on having a nice time.

    No, I don't want you to have a "nice" time - I want you to have an "interesting" time that translates into one of your essays LOL
