I feel like I'm learning a lot about that era and that I can actually trust the historical bits you write because you've done your research. I've got to say, this is the most fun I've ever had while learning anything. :D I'm really enjoying the whole courting process and the UST!

Also, absolutely loved Buffy barging in to the barber's shop to protect William's curls. And... Mount Erection. *gg* I'm in love with your brilliant, cheeky mind and can't wait to see whether William will agree to a game of 'strip poker'. :D

Author's Response: Thanks! I do worry that I go on and on too much about the details. It's a hard line to walk. I'm glad you liked the barbershop thing. I almost cut that bit out.

Oh, poor William. First havng to endure the lotion torture, then Buffy being upset by the play. Thank goodness she didn't let them cut off his curls! That would've been a travesty! Strip poker, huh? I wonder how much of Spike's poker skills William had already? heehee! And Buffy drunk while playing, that should tip the odds. Me thinks William may need that sheet to bunch around his hips again very soon. Lovely update, can't wait for more.

Author's Response: A confession: I wrote it that he'd gotten a haircut the first time around. I ended up ... not liking that! Thanks for your feedback. I hope the poker surprises you in a good way
