Thanks for caring about these characters.

There...Chocolate Brownie Thunder sounds heavenly! <br /><br />There's some really good tension in this scene - I can definitely sense McDonnell's discomfort about being separated from his youngest brother. Not knowing very much about the period or the industry, I'm curious what's going to happen to all of them now.

Sometimes they did take younger people (apprentices) along, but as passengers . . . at least that's what I've discovered so far in my research. Re the images, I find those old images feed right into my writing.

Allen's a little better each day, the old two steps forward, one back. My fall back is the ice cream -- and the writing. Relatively safe?

Children worked regularly. My granddad (early 20th century) went into the limestone mines at age 10.

At least a job as a copyist sounds relatively safe.<br /><br />That ice cream sounds divine. Of course, BLT had me thinking bacon, lettuce and tomato, so we'll just have ice cream for dessert. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515534703047572915.post-88266348331836846062014-09-04T08:28:31.786-07:002014-09-04T08:28:31.786-07:00I want ice cream now, but can't have it becaus...I want ice cream now, but can't have it because I'm on a diet. Darn. Sigh. Oh well. Back to the story. I think if they're going to be separated, at least Cat is going to be somewhere that she doesn't have to be staying with a lot of men that could find out she's is not a he.
