The first two chapters have created an air of mystery circling Nate and what kind of man he really is or will be. The setting is well described and sets up a good background for Nate's lifestyle and beginning his practice. Now we'll see where it takes him.

Thank you, my dear, for reading and reviewing.
Comment from GregoryCody
Again this is well written. You have a strong flow and it s obvious that you are a great storyteller. Maybe I missed it, when does this story take place? Great dialogue too!

Ok, let me give you a hint...everyone is ridding in horse and buggy. LOL I'm just teasing you Cody. It's the early 1900s. And thank you for reading.

Comment from dennis0530
In my review of Chapter 1, I said "the appearance of this brown-eyed angel portends of some exhilarating expectations.
Well, here now the exhilaration has happened and Dr. Nate handles it coolly while Margaret deals with it hesitantly.
Here is lesson in cultural norms. Being raised in different places, individuals tend to mix up responses to other's actions.

Not only that dennis, but they come from two different classes, also. Good observation my dear.

I love old-fashioned balls with all the pomp and ceremony of the era. Once I started reading I couldn't stop. Your account is very romantic, every girl's dream, I found it most enjoyable. Giddy

Comment from Righteous Riter
The writer does a good job of transitioning the events of this chapter. This writer does a good job of keeping the reader interested from start to finish. The pace is steady and consistent as the writer takes the reader where the reader needs to go.

Comment from Mark Alan Trimeloni
I like the interaction of the servant characters. I can picture them talking.
Excellent description in this part, "His aftershave talc softly greeted the downstairs air with a masculine fragrance of rum and exotic berries."
Few authors remember that the reader also has a sense of smell. Something overlooked in most stories.
You've captured the essence of your characters brilliantly. I love the local dialect and feel of this piece. A great read.
