I can't find the words to express just how wonderful this story is. I know it's been four years and you're busy, but I'll still hope for an update. You are a marvellously talented writer and every single one of your fics are gold. Just like ATiL, this is another fandom classic.

What a truly talented writer you are! I don't know if you will ever update this story, or write anything else in this fandom, but I dearly hope so! This story kept me literally at the edge of my seat and up until 4AM to finish. I am so curious and apprehensive what Sir Richard's plan is and I cannot wait how Matthew and Mary will deal with everything involved in going through a messy divorce in 1920. But even if you don't feel like updating, even if you lost interest by now, I hope you will read this review because I wanted to thank you for hours of wonderful enjoyment I got from reading your stories. I would love one day to be half as good writer as you are.

I can only assume that Richard is going to force Matthew to turn Reggie Swire’s inheritance over to him in exchange for Mary, so he can destroy Downton in exchange for dissolving the marriage. He can only want to ruin the entire family and make their humiliation complete and gratuitous. What an odious man.

This is such a wonderful story that so many of your fans would love to see completed. So, when you have the time, an update would be lovely. Pretty please with chocolate on top.

I really have enjoyed this, the tension between Matthew and Mary, the struggle between right and wrong. I hope you'll at least add 1 more chapter to tie up loose ends. What was Richard writing?

Ahhh so happy I found this update! Well done️ hope to see another someday. I know juggling motherhood, work, house etc takes priority. Take care and THANK YOU!

I know chances are super slim as I haven’t seen anything written by you in quite a while. But you are a great writer and I miss your work. If you ever found your muse again for this one, I imagine a lot of us would love to read more.

I must know what happens next! I can’t judge you for a four year writers block, I haven’t finished the story I started in 2007? But I do hope you update soon.

This is definitely not good...

I enjoy how you managed to work some of 3:1’s best lines in.

I can’t decide if im pleased Matthew has finally grown a pair or if I think he’s snapped and become a stalker...

Can’t Richard die in a stupid car accident...I’d be perfectly okay with that. Or the Spanish flu, it was still floating around the ...or he’s older than her he could have a heart attack

This can’t be a wise choice. I’m still a bit sad at the lack of George...though canon plot wise I suppose it’s too early for George.

No, no, no! Why are they so stupid?! Also, I never bought the whole love you with my last breath scene could be sadder than after seeing he season 3 CS but you have accomplished.

Hi OrangeShipper! I hope you’re doing well & may have a chance to add more to this marvelous story. Thank you very much!
