Richard:
This is a marvelous little piece of storytelling. You've done a great job
of weaving the story lines developed here in lugnet.pirates and meshing them
into a very clever story.
If you will allow one criticism (in the editorial sense only). In the
paragraphs preceding the one which begins "And these weren't all his
problems...", you were talking about the widower Waite, Doolittle's former
law partner. However, in this paragraph, you appear to switch back to
Doolittle without using a proper noun to indicate a switch - "his" still is
linked to Waite even though I think you mean Doolittle. I had to read it
twice because the first time through, I thought that you were still speaking
about Waite.
If I am reading this incorrectly, please feel free to throw a third grade
grammer book at me. Again, an excellent story. Keep up the good work.
Tim
