Great chapter!  So interesting to get a little glimpse into Agnes' surprizing past.  Wouldn't it be interesting to be a fly on that wall?
 Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to review.  It certainly helps to know people are enjoying Agnes' adventures!

It sounds as if our Agnes and Mayor Wilkins got up to all sorts of shenanigans. Smashed chandelier! I'll bet dear Agnes was mortified. I love her more with each chapter. I would never presume to guess which way she will turn at this crossroads of hers. Her sense of propriety is so much better developed than my own.
 Yes, you've hit the nail on the head. Agnes has those very awkward things - principles - and strangely they haven't been demolished by becoming a vampire!  I think she was taken over by a very benign demon.
But I think she would have been tempted by the Mayor's offer of marriage - but she turned him down - and lived!

am pleased that agnes has a chance at a more comfortable future. am sad because if she leaves we will miss her interaction with spike and sunnydales' finest. very good read, thank you.
 I don't think you need worry too much about Agnes leaving just yet!  Wooops, shouldn't have told you that but you sounded concerned.

Creepy lawyer! I wouldn't want to be alone with him (for any reason). ;)

Mayor Wilkins? Well that was a surprise. But, in a way it wasn't. I can see how they would be attracted to each other. :D

I think that Agnes may find herself in a pickle. She has a way out of Sunnydale with a home and money waiting for her back in England. But, she now knows that Spike and Dawn are in trouble. So, does she leave or does she stay and try to help???

Looking forward to see what choice she makes. (I'm pretty sure I already know, but you never know.)  :)

 Hi, glad you enjoyed the chapter. Are you sitting behind my shoulder as I write?  You're spot on with your comments, especially about Spike and Dawn.  Decisions, decisions, but this whole story is about friendship, of course, so I think you may have guessed.

And yes, Mr Nicholas Elder - it's all in the name!

Wow! I never would've guessed Mayor Wilkens was Aggie's old beau, what a wonderfully exciting twist... I absolutely loved it! :bows: Fantastic update! :D
 Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to read and review. it is much appreciated.

Um...did you post chapter 21 twice, or is my computer seeing double?
 Sighs.  Not twice but thrice!  The computer did it!  Not me.  I can't see a way of deleting them.  The delete button on Manage Stories takes away the whole story, so I'm told.

HMMMMM - what will Agnes do with her new found wealth?  Nice touch with the seven unwilling bloods being accepted throughout the demon world.
 Thank you for reading. Happy you are still enjoying the story.

Oh DELIGHTFUL!!!!  Yes Agnes (ahem...love her middle name being Kathleen BTW) is just the sort of LADY that Mayor Wilkins would have been attracted to.  Nothing forward or loose about her...just his cup of demon.  I never saw that coming yet it makes perfect sense in hindsight...even to why she stayed in Sunnydale!  BRILLIANT!

Naturally I hope she stays in town but am so glad she has been provided for. 

Her relationship with the Mayor makes me yearn for her to meet his surrogate daughter, Faith!  What a challenge that would be to take her in hand in memory of her late love!  The possibilities are endless.

WONDERFUL,
Kathleen
 Glad you liked the middle name!   And thrilled you were pleased about the Mayor.  As my reviews for this chp are practically non existent, I fear not many people share your opinion.  But to my mind, he was the obvious person for her to have fallen for - of course, what is interesting is why she refused to marry him!

Faith - yes, that will be interesting but quite a long way in the future, sadly. Although....runs away to think.

The Mayor!!!  That was brilliant!
So glad Agnes has this chance at a happy ending.  I do hope she goes.  Perhaps Spike could visit, on the way to his re-ensouling. 

PLEASE give Agnes her happy ending.  Pretty please!!!! 
 Glad you enjoyed chapter, but we've a little way to go with Agnes yet. Now you know what's happening in the next chapter.....!
