On the first scene of Chapter 3:
Love it -- and now I've got a new DW story to make me bite my nails waiting for installments. Gee, thanks.
One small problem, though: the English, determined to be different, don't use the title "Count" in their aristocracy; they call a man of equivalent rank "Earl" (although a woman *is* a "Countess").
The good news is I think this can be an easy fix, *and* make his lordship even more irritating than he is already -- I mean, that snatch of dialogue had me wanting to cheer every time his head hit the bulkhead. Just have Ayerton very patronizingly explain, *every* time he mentions his rank, and ignoring that Doug's been stationed in Britain for years, "I am an English earl, the equivalent of a count." After the third or fourth time, I suspect you'll want to push Doug aside and hit Ayerton yourself.
More! Give us more!
