Wonderful chapter, again. Too bad Agnes couldn't have shown her fangs to that evil Pamela (There was far too much crockery out on the tables! - LOL!)
I can just see Dawn and Spike scheming to get a motorbike. I love the relationship between them.
Thanks for the update.

I was always intrigued as to where the motor bike came from they are riding when Buffy returns! Likewise Dawn's red jumper! So glad you enjoyed the chapter.

Pardon... I really didn't mean to impugn or insult you in any way. "I meant mutant" as in "no human" could or should be able to pull such a lovely character like Aggie from some throw away line in a dump.
(I guess mutant comes from my own 'green' envy coloring.)
Now I'm off to check out A and those secrets.. .
Ta!

Don't worry. i didn't feel in the least insulted. I took it as a compliment and am thrilled that you enjoy reading about Agnes. Hope you will like Arabella as much - well, no one actually 'likes ' Arabella, but she was the first "vampire" character I had written about. Please remember, too, if you will, that I wrote those 2 stories a couple of years ago, or more. They would have a little more polish these days! I hope. I was also going through a sexy story phase with CA. it shows in places!

Good old Agnes - home is definitely a state of mind a fact often only realised when as an ex-pat you come face to face with the reality of life 'back home'.
In a way I feel sorry for Agnes because although she now knows where "home" is, she is having to face up to the fact that her dreams are just that - dreams.

Really enjoying seeing the story from a parallel perspective!
So glad you are enjoying it. Great fun to write.

Can't dear sweet Pamela slip on a BBQ fork. I would have suggest a "fang," but I believe Pammy aka the "Brittle Bitter Brit" would leave a definite aftertaste. ::belch:: Oh pardon me. (I love tongue twisters.)
Would you please be so kind as to share your inspiration for "Aggie?" Is she based upon someone you've know or is she a compilation or are you just some mutant who's "gifted with a brilliant imagination"? :)
Once again "Thanks" for another great chapter.

Hi, glad you are enjoying the story. Afraid Agnes is all my imagination - based on the line from The Replacement episode, of course. I mean, how could you not want to know more about a charming lady running a teastall in the garbage dump! Not sure about being a mutant. Sounds sort of rude! Must admit some of Agnes' sayings are lifted from my own mother and godmother, but I sometimes feel Agnes was just there, waiting for me to tell her story.
I felt like that about Arabella, too - Spike's cousin he mentions once - and hence my two stories, Cousin Arabella and Three for a Secret. Wonder if you have read those yet?

Sweet! I love the way Agnes continues to evolve; she's grown so much and this seems to be the point when she finally says goodbye to her old life. Lovely story, thanks!
Yes, letting go of her old life is a big step for Agnes. She still has her new cottage in England - bought by W&H with the Mayor's money - but she has discovered that a home is not just bricks and mortar. And she is going to need all her commonsense in the weeks to come. runs and hides under bed!

A visit from not-so-friendly old acquaintances was just what Aggie needed to put her new life in perspective. I really enjoyed how Aggie handled her encounter with Pamela, I especially loved her closing line in the final scene. :) Wonderful update!
Poor Agnes was bullied all her life and only now is finding the ways of standing up for herself. And this time she did it completely on her own. Does she still need Spike's help? Perhaps.

Loved the old biddies. Maybe they could extend their tour to Las Vegas for a Wayne Newton/Tom Jones concert.
“Fantastic Modern Sculpture” - LOL! Well that explains why it was still around four months later.

Thank you! Well, there has to be some reason for it still to be standing. Dawn in her new red sweater and Buffy in the grave clothes have to climb something very soon!

Love your ending - and great for Agnes to realize what a good and courageous woman she has become - having to find your way as a vampire and still keep your humanity and spirit - well done Agnes!
Nice to see Dawn working for Agnes and Andrew as part of your story - I, unlike some viewers, always liked Andrew, he could be so bad, but I always felt sorry for him even as he did all those really bad things.
Thanks for the update and I hope we get another very soon.

Thanks for reviewing. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Andrew is an interesting character. The younger brother of an obviously adored sibling always reminds me of Dawn and Buffy, without the Key element, of course! Andrew tries so hard to fit in and we know where that ends up. But hopefully, Agnes has given him a tiny kernel of self-worth which will develop in the years to come. She's good at nurturing.

OH YES!!!!! Hooray for Agnes!!
After the last chapter, I was so worried that Agnes would abandon Spike or smething dreadful. This chapter makes it all better! So wonderful! YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!

Would she ever abandon Spike? Sadly, I think it may be the other way round. Season Six approaches!

Oh, that's so lovely! Yay for Agnes. I hope someone bites Pamela...
I don't think she'd taste very nice!

So glad dear Agnes could finally face down her 'ghosts' from the past. Good for her!
Like a lot of us, Agnes is defined by her past history but she is finding a way of living a new "life". But obviously it is going to get very difficult, very soon!

Go Agnes!! I really love this character that you have brought to life with your words. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you so much. Will write another chapter soon.

Good for Aggie realizing that she's much better off than those miserable English ladies. If Pamela could be called a "lady". Ha!
Dawn and Spike conspiring for a bike.....oh, dear, LOL.
Well, they're riding one in tandem very soon, of course. I just wondered what they got it for originally!
