I love that poem by Dickinson - it is so encouraging to the sad and hopeless.

I think Buffy is about to receive the beating of her life! And I'm HIGHLY curious as to what Fred has planned for everyone involved, tee hee!

Great chapter honey, totally AB FAB!

Author's Response: Yeah, I agree. I really hadn't read it before, my friend Deanna showed it to me though and I just couldn't not use it. It was perfect for the chapter, imo.

And you were right about what was about to happen to Buffy. Hee, I hope you like the plans when they're put in motion! Thank you very much for your very kind words!

Spike and Fred working together to woo Buffy might just soften her up. She's already responding physically, but the emotional part is going to be tricky.

Hank is certainly loathsome.

Author's Response: Oh yes, you're very right about the emotional part, mostly because Buffy is quite stubborn and has her mind set on being in love with Angel.

Hee, that he is. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing, cariño!

I wonder what Fred has in mind... And Hank is just too much, makes me angry. I hope there's a way to get rid of him later.... ;) / Ariadne

Author's Response: Oh no worries about getting rid of Hank, at least for a bit, you'll see why in the next chapter. And I hope you like what Fred planned. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing, sweetie! *smooches*

Really enjoyed this chapter. Was good to get everyone's perspective on the dinner and the marriage.
Love the way you've written Spike - stubborn and single-minded but not cruel. Unlike Hank who appears to be a very nasty piece of work. Poor Buffy!

Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Thank you, sweetie! I'm delighted you enjoyed. I loved writing all the different perspectives, thought it added up to the story. :D

Yep, Spike is not cruel,Iactually I think the next chapter will show you all a different side of him. Hope to have more soon. :D

The riding crop? Hmmm... I could tel him where to shove it... Sorry, ranting! :-P

Honey I'm loving this!!! I'm sorry I didn't read the moment you posted, but I was a bit off, and couldn't concentrate, so I'm playing 'catch-up' now :-D

Then again, Wesley could learn a thing or two from her brother about taking what he wanted without caring for the consequences, she thought while stealing a glance at the handsome brunette man to her right. --- had me chuckling and awww-ing at the same time, I can't wait to see how exactly William and Fred will help each other,

please update soon *bats eyelashes*

*huggles*

Author's Response: *lol* I love when you rant, darling and that you're so passionate about things. :D

Oh, don't you worry about that, I understand, especially having gotten sickly with laryingitis myself. *hugs Sotia* Hope you're feeling better.

I'm loving writing Fred like this, more than I anticipated, between Spike and her, well, poor Wes and Buffy have no chance to escape unscathed. *weg*

I'll try to update this week again, muse seems to be fairly focused in this story again. :D Thank God! *giggles*

*snuggles*.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing! You always manage to put a smile in my face, my adorable friend. And yes, you are adorable, no matter how many times you say you' aren't. ;)

Yikes, poor Buffy! Fred was right about Hank, he truly is despicable... I hope he gets what he deserves someday soon. Can't wait to find out what Fred has up her sleeve. Great chapter!

Have a great week too, Mari! :D

Author's Response: Yep, Hank is despicable. And no worries, he'll get what he deserves soon, very soon. ;) You'll find out what Fred is planning very soon. :D Thank you for reviwing! *hugs*

I'm hoping Spike will dole out some punishment to Hank when he figures out what the man did to Buffy.

And what, exactly, are Fred and Spike cooking up? Can't wait to see the next chapter!

Author's Response: He certainly will once he discovers what he did.

You'll find out what they are planning very soon. ;) Thank you for reviewing!

THis is just such a wonderfully done chapter mi hermana, and I was very hapy to have helped you out of your slump. As soon as we chat and ideas form, your muse was struck with lightening and writing like crazy and what wonderful things you came up with. I adore this story and of course can't wait to help out in anyway I can with the next, filled with anticipation over the plans we discussed - squeeeeeeee. Luv u boo and another well done chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, sweetie! Truly if it hadn't been for your this chapter never would've been finished. And that chat certainly helped since muse seems to be very focused for the moment, doesn't she? At least for the time being. ;) Thanks for being so supportive and encouraging.¨*hugs* Love you, boo!

Thankee for reviewing and making me laugh wit your offer. ;) Not that I don't appreciate it, but my daughters are awfully jealous, so I'll accept the chocolate bribe. ;)

I am thankful for the update as this is one of my favorite fics. I also liked the chapter although it was much too short. I did not expect Buffy's father to beat her. I wonder what will happen when the Duke finds out. Please update soon.

Author's Response: Aww, thank you, sweetie! I'm honored this story is one of your favorites. Yeah, I know it was short, but I promise the next ones will be longer. This was mostly the set-up for what's coming during the 3 weeks that their engagement will last. I think I had hinted before that Hank beat her, and you can be sure Spike won't be too happy to learn what he did. Thanks again for reviewing! *hugs*

I`ve just read the first 6 chapters and I must say, I am very impressed. I love how Frec cares for her brother and I really like Spike`s character in it.

Author's Response: Awww, thank you so very much! I'm sooo happyI could impress you with this story and that you're liking Spike in it! I love Fred, too, she's a delight to write. :D

Oh god I'm so sorry - my computer was being really slow and I didn't realize pushing the submit button so many times meant it would actually do it, please excuse my ignorance! I won't make that mistake again!

Author's Response: Awww, no worries, sweetie, it happens to all of us, if it's not this, well, it's reviews that won't appear because of the code. *hugs* Thank you for taking hte time to review, cariño!

Loved :-D
The sooner Buffy gets rid off her father (out of the house) the better for her. I wonder what plan Fred had now. Hopefully a good one :)
A good week for you too

Author's Response: Awww, I'm happy you loved!
And I agree, the sooner she gets rid of Hank the better, She still has 3 weeks to endure though. ;) And I think you'll like Fred's plans. *giggles* Thank you for reviewing, cariño! *huigs*

Now you have left us with poor Elizabeth with her father and a "horse whip".. And if he does discipline her physically I wonder what William/Spike will say ?

Can't wait to find out what Fred has in mind..

Almost sent an email beggin' for an update.. Pleasantly surprise when I saw your post today..
BTW.. second review .. first one did not show.. hate the code..

Author's Response: Yeah, I know it was a bit evil, but I really couldn't bring myself to write it, it would've been worse and I had to show how Hank treats Buffy. What will Spike say? I don't think he'll be happy when he finds out. Downright pissed is more likely to be how he'll be.

Hee, I think you'll enjoy what she has in mind. *giggles*

Awww, thank you for that, I truly appreciate that you missed my story. Sorry for the delay, I'll try to keep up with the regular updates. *hugs*

Ugh, yeah, i hate the code, too. It takes forever to review sometimes.

I'm just shuddering at Hank right now... I can't imagine living as a woman back then.

This is a wonderful chapter, as always. I'm not crazy about Spike's behavior but I know it's essential to the story... can't wait to see how it all turns out. :) Great work!

Author's Response: Yeah, I was shuddering myself, which is why I choose not to be too graphic pertaining the punishment. Perhaps it wasn't all bad for some of the women, I guess it all depends of the station you were born in.

I'm actually having fun with Spike being like this, he's not entirely bad, but he's not entirely good either. *giggles* Thank you for reviewing, sweetie! *hugs*
