This is the beginning of a really interesting play. I can't wait for you to continue it. I am glad to see some of our old friends. I wondered what happened to Cornelius. I'm glad to see he and Jennie got married.

Thank you, Barbara for taking a chance on this. It's getting kind of a slow start. I appreciate the welcoming 6 stars!

As in life, once someone gets something trapped between one of those crevasses of their brain, it's almost impossible to dislodge the thoughts. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Ric. It's good to see you back reading my plays. This has a rather slow beginning, but it will build soon.

I've been right here all along; unless maybe there is something the site hasn't sent me. LOL. It's always a pleasure!
Comment from BethShelby
This is something different and should be interesting as your plays always are. I am thrilled to learn things have turned out well for Cornelius and Jennie. It seem young love triumphed and is lasting. It is also good to see Cillia. This saucy little sprite takes her assignments seriously. I wonder what her connection will be with Bett. It is good to see her again as well JayIII, but of course without him, we wouldn't be witnessing any of this. It seems Gregory is bit confused, but I think Cillia picked the right scribe to record this. We'll see. I look forward to this play.

You hit all the highlights, Beth and I believe are ready for me to take this deeper. I've already finished scene two and am working on scene three. I don't know yet where the play will take me. But if I did, what would be the use of writing it, right?
Comment from Begin Again
What a fun beginning of a New Year and your new post. Very imaginative and refreshing to see a different concept - at least for me, at least. It feels like sitting in the audience of a real play as the lights fade in and out across the stage. I love the concept and the story.... Bravo and good luck!
Happy New Year to you Jay!

THank you so much, Carol. When I'm working on a play and a reader says she feels like she's in the audience, I feel like I should provide the popcorn. I hope you enjoy the play. I really appreciate the six stars.
Comment from Theodore McDowell
A great set up for a play and clever bringing in Cornelius who we got to know so intimately in 2021. An intriguing beginning with a great deal of potential.

Thank you, Tim. The six is beautiful, and an encouragement. This is what I do when a play ends and I'm not yet ready to leave a character. I've got some twists ahead.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I love it that you have updated us with Cornelius and Jennie, and I'm so pleased to see them again. I love it that you are bringing in FS, this is going to be a wonderful story, I can see it already. I really liked Cililla in the last story, and I'm glad she's back as well. I'm looking forward to finding out what her mission is this time. Well done, my friend. Love it already. :)) Sandra xx

Your reviews are the kind I need, especially when a play is beginning slowly and the fans are sparse. Hopefully I can build to a satisfying second and third act.
Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
Happy New Year 2022; your creative power glows here on growing the topic, dramatic projection with appropriate setting and direction, a generalized historic plot in exploration with revelation of human nature and dramatic effect; well said, well done; keep writing. ALCREATOR LITT DEAR (D.R.)

Good to have you engaged in this play, Alcreator. I hope to see you visting it again next time.
Comment from Liz O'Neill
You have created a compelling setting: "Stage lighting is such that ... in pantomime." What's ironic is the audience becomes eavesdroppers. Your use of allusion will draw the audience closer. This is quite brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I imagined it playing across the stage. I have to give you A+

Liz you are a dear! Thank you for the New Year's gift of a sixth star. I'm glad you picked up on the audience being eavesdroppers. I hope to have you munching popcorn in the audience for subsequent chapters.

Thank you so much, Constance Mae. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this scene. I hope you come back to read another.
Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
You are a sly one--poking fun at the expense of this esteemed site. I was wondering why you had characters from different plays. Very clever! Delighted at the epilogue as to Cornelius and Jenny.

I wasn't poking fun. Gregory was. LOL. I'm glad, though, that you saw beyond that to the real intent: I'm simply having post-partum blues with my earlier plays.
