sweet
but now the storyline really does need to be completed.
Stupidity is a capital offense. A summary not indictable.
Totally
I agree....please?

Hadn't realised it until now, but yes, the normal American pronunciation *is* easy to hear as loo-tenant!
you are certainly right about American television
'ten zillion channels and nothing worth watching on any of them'
No its only in the hundreds, still nothing to watch that you haven't seen before

I agree with the above you need to finish this now as I had go back I read it all again and now you need to finish it. Great Story though.
Although it has not been
Although it has not been mentioned by name in the story, I am beginning to believe that Tim is stationed at Edwards AFB, in California. It is the primary Research and Development Base for the Air Force and also used by other Military Branches. Having been stationed there for some 8 years, I witnessed many varied and different test aircraft and also was, on a Security basis) involved in several crashes that left aircrew members either dead or badly injured. The Nurse is quite correct in her statement about those who are unconscience very likely being able to hear others around them. I was told when my wife was nearing her end in a Hospice facility, to really careful what I said around her, as it was known that people in her state of being could take something being said around them as being directed towards them personally. I'm thinking "Daddy" Tim may have said what he whispered to Becky because he has always known his son was truly a girl and should be one outside as well. Janice Lynn
That thought...
That thought that Tim knew he had a daughter crossed my mind...
One thing that surprised me was that the daughter didn't have an "ID" of her own (and needed to show it)... Had she been an American dependent of an American officer, she would have.
I do have to go back and look at the story though on one bit... Who was the Lieutenant... It would be surprising to find even a US Navy Lieutenant (Captain in the Air Force) with a high school kid... Unless said individual were a Mustang (i.e. came up through the ranks.) and that's very rare for pilots. Perhaps I should look up UK ranks... Okay a "Flight Lieutenant" is like a US Navy Lieutenant = USAF Captain... Over here, that'd be young, but I did notice (30 years ago) that officers of the same comparable rank in the Royal Navy seemed to be a few years older than someone in the US Navy would have been... Hmmmm. Still, interesting challenges.

Very nice story!
I really hope that next chapter will happen somwhere in the next 3 years instead of 5 breaking the sad trend that every next chapter takes one year more to complete...
When the gauntlet is thrown down….
Pauline gives no quarters.
But of course she wouldn't. She is British and we still use pounds, shillings and pence!

Re-read the rest to catch up first, but now I can comment!
I'm really loving this, Ang, still! You've got a lot more drama going on than I ever considered trying -- but you would, you've got the talent needed to make it work!
I'm really hoping her father pulls through fine and that the two of them reconnect.
Looking forward to part 7!

You've got the talent. Very true. This story was one that I had not got around to yet, since this author writes faster than I can read. Excellent story, and yes you have me hooked again. Please continue, your loyal subjects await you next scribblings

Princess Pauline...
...There's a crucible that is refining lives, identity and just maybe a father/daughter relationship.
You are taking the improbable and making it desirable for the characters and readers.
My compliments to the author, with warm hugs,

Not the full shillin' ?
It must be me age instead, but I often de-decimalise prices to get a second handful on the value. I mean, fifteen bob fer a pint o' milk? Outrageous!
Anyway. Pauline really needs those friends now. Life should be much simpler than hers, for someone so young.
And what a nice surprise that you picked up this story for us again Ang :)
