Another great chapter! I love the authentic accents and words used in your dialogue. It moves the story along and really defines the character personalities. I did not notice any typos or grammatical errors, of course. Your story kept me interested from beginning to end. Thank you for sharing. Hugs and blessings.

Wow, and the show must go on. I like this part here where Tommy was denied to serve in the army because: "
'You be far too important to the war effort to be actually fighting in her, Mr Bache,' said the sergeant. We got to eat, see. We canna fight the Hun on an empty stomach, and you as a miller, along of all they farmers, be the ones to see as we do. Sorry, Mr Bache, but that would be more nor my life be worth to sign you up. You'm in what they calls a Reserved Occupation, see.'" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your next chapter.

This Chapter of the Fiction speaks the next phase of the trilogy about the description of events happened in two decades in the family, as put in taletelling with progression thru plot development, and ends with a generalized viewpoint; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR

They were hard days, and as is the norm with English industry, the foreigner's get our business.
So now we see Tom and Heather get married and have twins, talented children, too. I can see us learning a lot about those two. None of that would have happened had Tom been allowed to go to war. I like it that we are learning more about the family, even though all the original characters have now passed on, leaving the right people to continue the mill and the farm. I love this story, it's so personal, we get to know the people, their hardships and their joys. Another great chapter, Jim. :)) Sandra xxx

    Thank you for this most encouraging, six-star review. Yes future developments are likely to centre on the twins.

This promises to be another interesting and well-told addition to your story. It's good to be caught up on what happened between Heather and Tommy to bring them together. Looking forward to the continuation.
