All Comments on 'The Brass Statuettes Ch. 19'

Trudy's distrust of Gloria was justified but, as I said previously, Frank has principles and a backbone and can withstand Gloria's seduction. Gloria, like an over used courtesan of old, is not able to accept that she is "passed it" and abdicate gracefully. I am sure that she will not give up easily! On the business side, Frank seems to have things under control but can he really depend on Alvin? Further more, is he having second thoughts about Jeannette? Chapter 20 ASAP please! Pete.

""" Frank felt that certain surge of energy that came on him when he was about to lose his temper. "Why don't you call her up, Trudy?" he shouted. "Tell her that Little Franky can't come out and play because Trudy says he has to stay away from naughty people." """ <p>

""" Trudy pursed her lips and her eyes filled with tears. "It's not like that, Frank," she sobbed. """ <p>

I laughed out loud; those few lines were quite good, dear author. Trudy proves to be, time and time again, the compass steering the life and family she and Frank has; one that surpassed all expectations, expectations which they never set out to pass any way... <p>

If I remember correctly, the low opinion Trudy's parents had of Frank, it really made both Frank and Trudy become life long partners who trusted and loved each other, deeply and unfailingly, and sometimes against undeclared enemies (not enemies so much in the forms of strangers and sluts like Gloria but in the form of Trudy's faithless, prejudicial ignorance; and Trudy and Frank even took care of those ungrateful by buying them some retired condo's?) <p>

Slow but good story about both human baseness and deep loyalty....
