Ah, I see what you mean. Must admit, I’ve been fairly cavalier on using names, and I haven’t really bothered about allocating them from the same sex Interesting idea for Mary – however, I’ve got something slightly different planned for her, as we’ll see in about a dozen or so episodes’ time …

I’d picked up on that but unless Mary joined the army in masculine guise, I assumed it referred to Richard. (Actually, there’s an interesting plot development for Mary, in there…)

Thanks, Nicola – glad you’re still enjoying it! Regarding Captain Briers, I should perhaps clarify things – he’s actually named after Richard Briers’ daughter, Lucy, who played Mary Bennet in the BBC serialisation. Actually, that doesn’t really help much, does it?

Tux’d messages had me ROFL – and that’s not a pretty sight, I can tell you. But that’s as nothing to reading about ‘well-fit Capt Briers’. I think you should alert Richard Briers to this serial, it’s probably been a while since he was described as ‘fit’, rather than ‘much loved veteran’.

Still loving this, Jonathan.
