And so, the mystery and suspense continues. I enjoyed your vivid descriptions of the guests seated around the table, becoming suspicious of each other. I read Carol's Chapter 1, and forgot about it until I saw your chapter, which I enjoyed. You kept the mystery going.

You gave us good descriptions of several of the characters. I like how the mood has changed from curiosity to suspicion, and heading toward animosity as the second course is served.

Good artwork and story to go with it, Ulla. You did a good job with it. You give us a picture of these people who have been gathered together for some reason, and no one knows what it is. Max seems to be the person of interest. I like the description of Peter, "a man who didn't suffered fools lightly." *...suffer fools.

A good ending for this segment that leaves things up in the air, except for dessert. That's always a good way to end, but maybe not for this group of characters who have no clue why they are there, or is there someone who does, and if so, why?! Very well done, my friend.






who didn't suffered fools lightly.

You are keeping the mystery going here Ulla as you keep us all in suspense in this inventive story and as the tension rises then those involved become more enquiring and form their own opinions, another fine chapter in your story, love Dolly x x x

Intriguing chapter in the Emerald Isle book. Good dialog and plot that unveils smoothly. Great character development. I'm curious to find out what happens next with the guests. You always have good wine in your stories lol

Well done!

I see you have picked Max to know something, but he doesn't share what, although he seems to want the others to be worried. You have moved the story along quite nicely. You do have a few corrections to make. . . . cut into (to) the succulent . . . . . . used to be(ing) in charge . . . . . .what('s) all of this . . .

I read it and found it was well written, was a bit lost until I read the preceding chapter, then I understood it a bit more.I hope the mystery of them being there unfolds. I think that there is a typo in your 9th paragraph from the top. I believe it should read,'"didn't 'suffer' fools lightly." Thank you for sharing.

An interesting read. Look forward to where we are heading. A bit repetitious here "descended around the table while the second and main course made its way around the table."
suggest change in the first "descended (on the group) while the second and main course made its way around the table.

"(Would a)nyone [would] like some real red wine?"

I'm ready for the dessert!
"Anyone would like some real red wine?" - This sentence needs reworded. Maybe just lose the 'would' or switch 'anyone' and 'would'.
Best wishes.
