Loved the story - it's nice to have that particular hole filled in. I hope this will be included in a collection of short stories, or as a bonus with a novel, at some point - I want it on my shelf! Mary in MN
Wonderful. It was one of the back stories I had hoped you would do. And Spode is bad news in any incarnation.
And in other good news, my copy of Ghost Ship arrived yesterday after wending its way south and east into the Great white North. I've planned the weekend for the slow re-read, rather than the hurried "what happens next" one I've just finished.
I have been counting the days until the story appeared. Thank you once again for a delightful story. So glad to finally find out how Jeeves appeared, AND what happened to the "old" butler.Looking forward to Renovation!
Also the final ebook version of Ghost Ship is now available from Baen - webscriptions.net. Bought, downloaded, and read last night. Brilliant, thank you both for another fascinating instalment in the saga.
I had wondered what his story was. :) Thank you, and Korval again shows that it will take in strays spreading Korval's wings over them and gain rewards beyond measure from it.

I didn't know enough about him before...

Got my copies of Ghost Ship from Uncle Hugo on Tuesday (June 12th).
