Now I have to tweak the early pages of my plot!! Any more surprises up your sleeve about the Wake siblings?Caroline Newarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-42681564560792886652017-10-22T14:12:12.318+01:002017-10-22T14:12:12.318+01:00Now there was a very lucky and obviously very clev...Now there was a very lucky and obviously very clever and skillful knight indeed. Not only he managed to survive despite the family connections and some miscalculated steps along the way, but he also thrived and collected houses and holdings all over the place.<br /><br />I wonder if he was a likable fellow or excellent speaker or both, or what on earth kept him alive in those days when others were dropping down all around him. What ever it was, he was one of the lucky ones, or skillful ones indeed. Edward II was one man you did not want to annoy too much, nor were Mortimer or Isabella either, and Edward III was one king who was also tough if need be. And Thomas managed to survive trough truly stormy times.sami parkkonennoreply@blogger.com
