My apologies to all of you great fans for how long this story has taken-  I have been putting the word out there for a second voice to help me with some of the work but so far no luck. Soon I will add some longer readings so we can get to the end- and in the future I will keep these selections shorter! Thanks again for your patience.

Meanwhile- in the coming chapter (70) you will find The Count and his long lost love taking a long walk in the garden where they finally get a chance to talk.
