sauerkraut Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I'm a bit slow off the mark sometimes but I'd have commented anyway - honest! I found it very witty and I'm looking forward to chapter 2. I love wry British humour - not always available where I live, so thanks Mantaspook! By the way, in para 5 I think you mean she sees her expression in the mirror, not impression. Oh, and I'm not sure you've commented on one of my contributions yet, Mantaspook, so perhaps I should issue my own challenge Edit: hunted and did indeed find comment! My apologies!!

Hopman Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 An intriguing opening setting the scene nicely. I'm sure that the old buffer would not be at all safe with a pea shooter, let alone a shotgun. I'm not sure about when this introduction happens; I'm guessing during the summer, otherwise the source of the explosions in the trees could be seen. As for guessing at a year, I would think that the idea of a young lady in a sports car suggests a contemporary setting - maybe insert a line about the Manor being "one of the few places she could find without resorting to the satnav" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
