Poor Buffy, I'm sure she will come round soon. Another brilliant chapter, and thankyou for the recommendations

Just FYI - I really like your quotes at the beginning of each chapter (love that!) and i love the quote by Douglas Adams about being in between a rock and a hard place - Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy is a MUST READ for ANYBODY!

Ahem - now to this chapter :D

Ooo they're getting ready to do the moonlight stroll through the gardens....hmmmm methinks that Spike might try and get a little smoochy smoochy? ( or is that my fevered brain wishing for it? Probably the latter)

Off to read, cause I can't wait!


Author's Response: Finding those quotes has been more enjoyable than I thought a first. And I found a very cool site (www.noyemi.com), very user friendly and they have quotes for everything.

*lol* You must have a crystal ball somewhere around then, because that's precisely what he tried (and succeeded) doing during the stroll. Thanks for reviewing!

Buffy trying to evade Spike's attentions is not going well, and his reveling in any response, even fury, doesn't bode well for him giving up any time soon.

Author's Response: And you'd be right on both accounts. ;) Thank you for reviewing, sweetie!

Lovely, Buffy and Fred is becoming friends :) Not so lovely is Hank's behaviour... Poor Joyce. Loved the interaction between Spike and Buffy! :) *hugs*

Author's Response: Yep, and Fred will be instrumental for Buffy to give Spike a chance to win her heart. ;) thanks for reviewing!

Another brilliant chapter! I feel so bad for Buffy, but I love how ornery Spike can be! Just adding fuel to the fire he is. I can't wait to see how the moonlit tour though the gardens ends up. I think that could go either way. Maybe Spike shows more of a gentlemanly side.....or not. Perhaps a more want...take...have senario! I cant wait until the next chappie! {{{Hugs you tight}}}} I hope things with your father are looking up. The waiting game is most definately the toughest part! Still keeping you and yours in my prayers! Hugs n Kisses!

Author's Response: Awww, thank you for your lovely revew! I feel bad for Buffy, too, just having to deal with Hank... *shudders* Oh yes and Spike is hoping that fire will burn him, turn her anger into passion. You're right moonlit tour could go both ways. And while Spike is a duke he's not that much of a gentleman. *hint hint* *hugs you back* Thank you, darling, yes, things with my dad are looking up. We still have to wait until next week for the results for the column biopsy, but we're confident everything will get better soon. You're right the waiting part is just the worse, not that we can do much about it. ;) *hugs and kisses* Mari

Good saying; I'm stealing it :)
Heh heh, Joyce couldn't me more wrong (how Hank Summers managed to convince someone to marry their daughter)
Well Buffy survived the dinner ;-)
Even if Hank doesn't know what's a proper behavior. Being alone in the garden won't be okay either ;-) I don't think Hank has to worry that William won't marry his daughter. Well Buffy would take any chance my now, now that she knows who William is :)
Good recs :)

Author's Response: Steal away! I thought it was good, too. ;)
And yes, Joyce couldn't be more wrong, but well, I guess it's understandable. ;)
Buffy survived the dinner, but... will she survive the garden tour. *wide evil grin*
Hee, yes, Spike won't back down on his offer now, no matter what Buffy or Hank do.
Thank you for reviewing! And I'm glad you thought the recs are good. ;)

How she could possibly prefer that twit Angel to Spike is beyond me , but then I didn't understand it on the show either , oh yeah she lovvvves him, Yuck, ewwww. I know you'll have her open her eyes though and take this story to a wonderful spuffy conclusion. Lovin it.

Author's Response: Well, I think the reason why she prefers Angel will come into play soon, but no worries this doesn't mean that she can't be swayed from feeling that way, does it? ;) Thank you for reviewing!

Very lovely chapter, although the 'modern translation' that accompanied chapter 3 was highly amusing.

Author's Response: *giggles* Oh yes, it was very amusing, which is why I had to share it with all of you. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing!

I enjoyed getting the glimpses in everyone's heads, reading all the different POV's was definitely interesting. Loved the chapter!
*sends you good thoughts and prayers* I hope everything goes well for your father. *hugs*

Author's Response: Yay! I'm so happy you liked that. It was a feat to mesh them all, so knowing you enjoyed it fills me with joy. Thank you so much for reviewing and for the thoughts and prayers, they're very appreciated. :D So far, so good, at least he's back home now. *hugs*

I really like your story. I like period fictions. I know it will be interesting to learn how Buffy falls in love with Spike.

Author's Response: Hee, it might take us a bit to get Buffy there, but I promise I'll try my best not too long. Thank you for reviewing!

Oh my lovely sister, this chapter was truly divine. Poor Buffy, she really is stuck between a rock and a hard place. And Spike.... such a bad man to whisper THAT in her ear - a true scandlous rogue, LOVE it.. Ughh, can't stand Hank, he's so gruff and unmannered, ick. I can't wait for the garden tour... giggles, kittens claws may come out once they're alone. Bravo on a wonderful chapter and I am always at your service. Smoochies carino.

Author's Response: *giggles* Yeah, I guess she sure is, but there are worse places to be in when one of those is Spike, me thinks. ;) *giggles* He's such a naughty boy, tsk tsk, but I do think the lady doth protest too much. ;) I don't think any of my readers like Hank much or at all. And yep, you know those kitten claws might come into play. Hmmm, actually that's a downright delicious idea. ;) Thanks again for everything, darling! *smooches*

Buffy really isn't giving Spike any chance at all but he's nothing if not persistent and her father - OMG - could he be any more obvious. Absolutely loved it.

Author's Response: Nope, no chance in hell, doesn't mean he can't try though. *giggles* And yeah, I don't think Hank could've been any more obvious, but as long as it helps Spike, well, I'll take whatever I can. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing!

Introductions and Agreements. Pawned like cattle.. expensive cattle as far as Buffy..

Waiting for more between Buffy and William.. and Angel? Enjoying.

Ahh -- Chpt. 21..

Author's Response: Yep, pawned like cattle, although that was pretty much the norm back then. *sighs*

Hee, there'll be more Buffy and William soon, about Angel, well, he won't come back for a little while. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing!

I loved this, but the review will have to be brief, cuz I'm at work :-P

the man she hadn’t been able to forget despite trying so hard to… gave me some hope *sighs with relief*, the inner musings of both Buffy and Spike really were into character, I hate Hank with the fire of a thousand suns and I can't wait to read about the tour in the gardens!

Oh, and I'm already reading 3/4 of your suggestions! lol

*hugs* I hope - no, I know - everything will go well today!

Author's Response: Hee, couldn't have Buffy NOT notice the hotness that Spike is, now could I? *giggles* And I think you're not alone with hating Hank with the fire of a thousand suns. ;)

Well, hurry up and read the 1/4 then, I promise all of them are worth your while. ;)

Thankee for reviewing and for your wishes. It did went okay, even if now I'm soooo bloody tired. *hugs*

Poor Buffy, headed off at the pass at every turn. Her father is despicable. We could wish him a foul fate, so that Buffy and her family may be taken care of by her new husband and finally treated with the respect they deserve. :)

Author's Response: Hee, yes, poor Buffy, but even if things look bad for her now, I promise you it'll get better... eventually. ;) And yes, Hank is despicable, but he's serving a greater purpose in the story, which will come into play later on. Thank you for reviewing!
