Comment from jwsteele
You've got some good organizational skills. I learned how to transition from one chapter to the next.
I like the vernacular - with the child. (kid) "Concentroiting mates me hungwy."
Remember, I said Cordelia is an inner dowser, so she was unfamiliar with device dowsing, so I needed to educate her. She had told me she was looking forward to learning as much about it as she could. Messages just seem to come to inner dowsers. They just have a way of knowing.
Dowsing is a fascinating subject. Some people get it right immediately ...others well.
Here are some comments from this grizzled old prospector. You're writing is clear and succinct. Even though I have no idea about the storyline the chapter flowed and I could understand the fragment of the story I read. It's hard to walk into the middle and try to extrapolate from the previous writes. I get that all the time. I run with what I get.
For me, your voice is unique.
It appears you introduced the Paranormal thing. A subject I find fascinating. I'll need to read more of this. I'm wrapped up in a psychic phenomenon story now myself. The highlight of the day after that plow wiped out the mailbox in that crummy ice storm.
Nice write!

Comment from aryr
This was very well done and a great continuation chapter, Liz. I called it well done because there there was still a great sense of mystery and suspense to it. First and foremost, the fact that the ladies ate a whole tin of biscuits. Then they experienced the confusion of the chicken, who would know that they had to add particular spices. And the energies involved in the other cottages was remarkable. All of this ties together for a great chapter.

Thank you for your wonderful review. The images on the plate will show up after we and they have completely forgotten about them. A little ***Spoiler***

Ahaaaa, now I understand, Liz. You are most welcome, thanks for the 'spoiler'.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is an interesting section to your story. I think if they sensed more and said more about that plate it would help heighten the interest in their dowsing.

Thank you for your involved review. They do not know what the feeling means, any more than the reader does. It shows itself when we and they've totally forgotten the plate. But we will look back and remember the foreshadowing.

Okay, I've caught up and now I have to wait. This is very good and I've enjoyed it so far. Hope the next installment is coming soon. I am still wondering about this hiking trip they're planning and that weird picture on the plate. What's that about?

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
I didn't find this chapter as exciting as the last one I read, as to my mind not very much happened here. However, not every chapter of a novel can be like a roller-coaster, so perhaps this is no bad thing.

Comment from Judy Lawless
Ah, you've kept us waiting for things to get said, in this one, Liz. Of course we enjoyed the biscuits and coffee while we waited. lol. So we did find out about the strange chicken. But now we have a new building to wonder about, and we still don't know what the ladies had to said. Great way to keep us coming back. Well done.

Comment from lyenochka
I wonder what was it about the plate that gave them the heebie-jeebies. And what interesting information about that chicken! I guess now they will be very careful in what they purchase. I liked the funny speech with the mouth full.
One suggestion:
thus being more coherently.
(either "thus, being more coherent." or "thus, spoke more coherently."
