Ooo Faro! COOL! Are they going to play Whist too? Sigh, I love this time period (Regency, right?) and to play Faro at Whites... SO VERY NEAT!

OMG, Hank is going to gamble his daughter away? He needs a therapy group, right away! hehehe, and I have a feeling that Spike WILL lose at something, like Wes wanted - and it might be his heart! ;)

Great chapter luv!

Author's Response: Well, yeah, I think they might play Whist, too, just for you. And that was Vara's suggestion, which I absolutely adored, btw. :D

Yeah, Hank, as you might have noticed, has not that many scruples. Of course you're very right about what Spike will lose. ;)

Thankee for reviewing, sweetie!

I think this is the understatement of the century: "Miss Buffy Summers would be none too happy to find herself betrothed to Spike." I can't wait for Buffy to find out not only does she have a second fiancee, but he's also won her in a game of cards. This should be fun.

Author's Response: *lol* Isn't it? Although she won't discover how Spike won her hand in marriage until much later. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing!

I found my way back to your story, sweetie :) I hoped that he would win ;) I wonder what Buffy will say, but I guess her father will be more than happy to give her away... / Ariadne

Author's Response: Awww, thank you, darling! For finding your way back to the story and for your very kind words. You're very right about Hank. ;) *hugs*

Hmmmmm....I bet Buffy is gonna be not too happy about this. I could only imagine how it would feel to have someone (even your father) incharge of who you were to marry! I feel for the women of that period. I mean, could you imagine getting married off to an old geezer when you are barely of age!!! Ewwwhh! Yuck! Great chappie sweetie! Sorry for the delay in the review! Off to the next chapter now! Hugs!

Author's Response: Nope, she's not going to be happy about this at all, not like she can do anything against it though. I feel for the women of that period, too. Really, all the things they had to endure, it's just awful. And sadly, a lot of girls were married off to old geezers, very ewww! Thank you so much for reviewing, darling! *hugs*

Mmm White's, gambling for Buffy? I don't think Buffy herself will be easily won over.
Indeed... and Hank already lost. Buffy will be mad now (when she gets to know the news).

Author's Response: Hee, I don't think she'll be easily won over as well. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing. :D

Oohh, I can't wait to see what Buffy will have to say about this. She is NOT going to be happy to learn that she is betrothed to Spike. Especially since her Angel is gone and there is nothing he can do about it while he is away... And I definitely think that Buffy will be the one to teach Spike a lesson.... Awesome update hun, keep 'em coming!

Author's Response: *lol* You'll discover what she's going to say very soon. ;) And I agree she's definitely not going to be happy. ;) You are right, Buffy will teach Spike a lesson. :D Thank you so much for reviewing, darling!

Spike is defintely a man who gets what he wants. :D I never would've guessed he was going to win Buffy's hand in a card game, should be interesting to see how Buffy reacts to all this. Wonderful chapter!
Sorry to hear about your RL problems *hugs* I hope things get better for you soon.

Author's Response: *lol* That he is. I'm glad I could surprise you with that. :D And her reaction is coming in chapters 3 and 4. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing and for your wishes! *hugs*

I just adore your overconfident Spike - although I don't think ladyluck wil keep smiling on him once he get's hold of Buffy, *giggles*. And Hank was superb in this - a real win-win situation all the way around, but methinks that when the lady finds out, she will protest. Briliant chapter hon and you have some seirously great people to help you out with it and I'm not talking about me - I merely edit for my lovely hermana. Many kisses and hugs, luv u boo.

Author's Response: *lol* I love writing this overconfident Spike and you're right I don't think luck will be on his side regarding Buffy... at least not yer. ;) And she will probably protest, but I don't think she could do anything more than that, really. Yep, I have some seriously great people helping me with this story, and that certinaly includes you. I truly value all the hellp you give me, be it by editing or listening to all my ramblings, thank you for that! *love you cariño! *smooches*

If ladies of that era freaked then Buffy is going to. Nice man her father then? Wes appears to be Spike's ineffectual voice of reason. Will Buffy stand up to him more? Oh I can't wait to read more. Loved it and I hope everything sorts itself out in RL.

Author's Response: *lol* Even if they didn't freak, I can guarantee Buffy will. ;) She's not too conventional and won't take lightly to being forced to marry, even if there's not much she can do against itl. ;) Oh yes, Hank is a very nice man... not. ;) *lol* Wes is supposed to be Spike's voice of reason and as you very well put it, that voice is quite ineffectual as well. Spike won't listen to anyone but himself... for the moment. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing and for your wishes! *hugs*

Yay!! I was looking for this!! Great chapter, high stakes at Whites, a handsome card cheating rake, a young womans virtue dealt with cards. Everything I love!! I also wanted to tell how impressed I am that you are taking the challenge of writing this fic. It must be really difficult to make a good story and be time period correct, It is more than I could do. I will glady check back for the next update!! Have a great week!

Author's Response: Awww, thank you for your very kind words! I'm actually having a blast writing this story, more than I thought for sure. And I have lots of help in the research area, since the wonderful jamies_lady offered her expertise. She's the one leading me in the right direction so I do't mess up and I'm learning a lot of history in the meantime. I'm very happy you enjoyed the chapter, I hope you enjoy the rest. Thanks again, sweetie!

Still with you, still loving it!

From Hank's inner thoughts I can only gather that Buffy is better off away from him... but I worry about her reaction! A lot!!!

Hope everything turns out for the best in RL honey, I'll talk to you tomorrow,

*hugs you tight*

Author's Response: Awwww, thank you, cariño! See? You're too adorable. *squishes you*

Hee, yes, Buffy will be better off anywhere but at her house and you' do well by worrying. *evil grin*
I do hope so too, honey. Hope to chat with you soon.
*hugs you tighter* ;) Mari

Definitely still with ya. So is Angel gonna have a secret wife Buffy knows nothing about and was only courting her for her money. Can't wait for Buffy to react to what her daddy's done. lol

Author's Response: Hee, no worries, I have plans for Angel, but they will come to light a little later in the story. ;) And you'll find out about Buffy's reaction soon, very soon. Thank you for reviewing!
