Let Me Call You Sweetheart is a wonderful song/melody  and one of my faves!  Strange that I know both of the songs or maybe it's just age since songs were around a lot longer in the past than they are now.  And I am anxiously awaiting to see what the trio is up to.  And just how Miss Harlan figures into the equation?


Heh heh  - Let me call you Sweetheart is REALLY old.  All will be revealed after a couple of cliffhangers.  Thanks for reviewing.

Miss Harlan is a bit weird. Definitely strange with her stealing and her openness.

She's everything that Cecily isn't.  Thanks for reviewing.

The story is coming out so well that I would not hurry to finish it - better to continue on the very nice road you are on and make this the best William - maybe even Spike - that you can create. 

It really is coming out well -

Thanks so much.  I'm working on something else, but maybe I can think about a sequel.

WOW the song choice!!!!  My father used to sing the first one to my mother and I can hear him as I read the words.  The second was the one he sang to me ( I was his Kathleen Mo mhuirnín!).  You've made me cry but in a nice way for the lovely memories.  My father has been gone since 1982 and I miss him very much.

Love this story.  Your slang is a delight and I am quite interested in how this plays out.  Nice authentic feel to the original characters.

Kathleen
We had a player piano when I was a kid and my dad used to sing a lot of those old songs too, and sadly, he's gone too.  He used to pretend that he was playing the piano and my brother and I were so stupid that we believed him.  I'm so glad that you have that nice association. Thanks so much for the note.

Curiouser and curiouser.
William has jumped down the rabbit hole now.  Thanks for reviewing.

Great Update  -  your story keeps getting more and more entertaining - Love how you are bringing in all the period slang and your references to those three diabolical characters.  the "I'm your huckleberry" reminds me of one of my fav film - plus another nice touch with Cagey Leander.

Altogether a lively and lovely William Pratt story. 


Thanks as always - I'm almost regretting that I didn't work it up to a 75K extravaganza, but I wanted to focus on another piece.
