Timothy D. Freshly wrote another worthy sub-plot element.
Minor mods makes this
"Aurora gently tells Doolittle of his wife's infidelity. In the best
traditions of the understanding male, Doolittle repressed his hurt feelings,
saw his wife's issues as she saw them, and understood and accepted her
chosen path. Being a supportive male, he immediately recognised and
supported her decision by discontinuing his self-imposed support payments."
"When Waite heard about Aurora and Doolittle, he was incensed. But he was
hopping mad about Doolittle cutting off the support payments to Mrs.
Doolittle. Not only would Waite have to help Mrs Doolittle in her
vainglorious quest to become the most well-thought-of Lady in all Brikain,
now he'd have to pay for her upkeep as well. And she needed considerable
upkeeping."
Tim's original called for Waite to be giving marital advice. Lawyers giving
marital advice. I just cannot wrap my brain around this concept. I know a
lot of lawyers who have to _take_ marital advice from time to time, but
giving such advice? Come now ;-)

| Hi, By the way, just a potential "checkbook" oops--did the story begin compiling so long ago, on 5 January 1999? Just saw it on the page and was curious. It all looks magnificent, though--and the story holds together nicely. That Johnny Thunder (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.pirates)

| I am honored. Thank you. On to another suggestion. As you have already set out in the story, Doolittle sends money back to his wife in England to provide for her. However, her affair with Waite becomes more public, eventually reaching the ears of (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.pirates)
