G'day Barbara.
Again I'm one hundred years behind the rest of the world, sorry about that.
"Are you saying if I never attend dinner parties, then I'll never have to host one?" Anderson's eyes widened. "So that's the secret I've been missing." (lol. Sounds like me. Here, even a simple BBQ, without inviting anyone, turns into a 200 people all-nighter and that's just Delia's family.)
"I don't like playing these pompous games." He buttered a biscuit." (I always like the way you just randomly put in what they are doing while they chat. Great skill.)
Another great chapter and I'm hungry now after that menu lol.
Cheers Fez

Nicely written. Liked the way the chapter flowed. Characters were believable and dialogue moved the story forward with ease. Look forward to the next installment. Mary

Comment from Sasha
I am with Anderson on fancy functions, been to a few and they are not my cup of tea. That said, I am pleased he insisted Shana attend. She obviously still feels like the fifth wheel there. I am sure in time, she will fit in quite nicely.

With Shana's culture , I have a feeling she's feels an outsider almost everywhere. Thank you for the kind review.

Comment from mbroyles2
Wow that picture made me want to go out and have ice cream.
Then you mention it again in the story along with a dinner party.
Not that I'm much for those kinds of formal things, but it sure sounds fun.
The world needs more Anderson's
Great writing as always.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Barbara, this is coming along beautifully. I loved this part. And guess what I'm having for sweet now!! It looks like one little girl might be coming to live permanently with her daddy, I hope so, that's what he wants, and I'm sure Emily will love it too. Excellent writing again, and I saw no errors. Well done! Sandra xx

Anderson does want Emily to live with him. I just hope Shana does too. Thank you for the kind review.

Hi Barbara,
Dialogue and interaction between characters work really well, and the variety of intrigue keeps me wanting more..... all in all, an enjoyable read.

Good morning, Barbara
Excellent continuation. I've said this many times before, but the dialogue and casual interactions between your characters were spot on. There's a sense of clam despite the impending storm. Enjoyed.
Take care and stay safe,
Ray

Comment from Sis Cat
Oh, oh. CPS. I wonder if this had to do with the "parties" Patricia held.
Barbara, you display a creative, steady hand in this chapter. I noticed your storytelling quality and the fine way you weave character, plot, and dialogue. I feel the social obligations that burden Anderson. I also sense a pseudo family forming. Jane is like a doting mother figure reminding me of Alice in The Brady Bunch and many housekeepers going back for generations of books and cinema. Emily is the daughter figure, and Anderson and Shana are the couple.
I also notice that you pace and vary the subjects of chapters. Some are about the painting. Others are about family and relationships, and still others are about wealth and society. Sometimes you mix all of these themes in a single chapter, keeping things interesting.
I found no spags; just polished, engaging writing.
Thank you for sharing.
