Great chapter! Oh my, so she did feel something for John and apparently so did a few girls from her class. Yes it does seem that Frances will get a bit more information on our cute red head after all. So comparing John to Shakespeare poses to be quite interesting. So Frances is still maybe worried about her safety, well you can't get any safer than John that's for sure LOL.

Yeah...Frances really seems to 'have it together'. I like the way her mind works. A teacher? That's my kind of lady, and I have a feeling she just might be John's kind of lady, too. em

*grin*
Oh well I won't say that they're already feeling something for each other, but at least they're interested in each other that way, that they're curious. Though probably from different POVs. John is curious because of her behaviour, Frances because of her safety.
Nice start Lucy, waiting for more and for now... I'll keep my thoughts to myself.. first I need more information. ;D

So.... Did Frances find out anything about John...? and what is he doing...? Lucy & Chris Chapter 1 part 4 Frances chuckled to herself, the quality of the girls' essays had ranged from moderately acceptable to excellent, some of them picking up well on the tone and quality that Shakespeare might have used. Others had asked if they could use ‘Modern English’ not feeling comfortable with the literary style. She had agreed, though insisting that the girls used the proper ‘forms’. Collecting the work, many admitted to enjoying the assignment, which gave her ideas for the future. Reaching Kara’s essay which she had left until last, she read it carefully, finding out little beyond what she already knew. What she did notice was that her student had the heart of a poet… &&& John closed the meeting with his usual smile and wished his employees a good evening. Many of them were part-time workers, needing the extra cash to help pay the bills. This evening there was a charity function at a nearby Art Gallery hoping to raise funds for under-privileged children. Along with himself, only two other members of the team would be working that night, arriving home, he showered and changed into his tux, noting that the cuffs were starting to turn. Sighing he made a mental note to go and get a new one. Elizabeth van der Zandt smiled as her escort gave her his hand to help her out of the limo, a widow in her eighties, she still had a wicked sense of humour and teased him often… “So John… Are you going to be my nephew or the son of a long lost cousin this time…?” John chuckled, “Dealers choice Mrs van der Zandt, I really don’t mind…” She laughed, “One day I’ll tell everyone you’re my lover and see what ripples I make with that one.” “I’ll be the scandal of New York if you do that… No-one will use my organisation again.” Laughing she took his offered arm and they made their way inside. For a while he stayed on her shoulder, looking quietly around, nodding to his two colleagues and checking that there was nothing out of the ordinary. He was just about to excuse himself from the group, when Elizabeth took his arm. “I have a quick meeting with the curators John, why don’t I introduce you to one of our new volunteers, she’s just arrived in town and needs a few friends.” A few minutes later he was stunned as a familiar face regarded him. “Miss Mitchell, nice to see you again.” “Oh, have you two met before? Wonderful… Now you two young people enjoy yourselves for a short while. I’ll be returning home in about an hour John ok?” He nodded, not being able to say anything, the woman in front of him looked nothing like the school teacher he had met a few days before. The thin glasses were gone – possibly replaced by contact lenses and with make up and her hair styled differently, she certainly was much more attractive than he originally thought. Frances smiled, “Well Mr Kelly, you are the last person I expected to meet here, I have to admit. So, what do you fancy… Modern Art, or do you prefer the classics…?”

Oh my, so they meet again! Great chapter, Frances is starting to get to know John. Lover to an 80 year old, that one even made me chuckle, I could picture John chuckling as well. Thanks for the smile. So Frances didn't learn to much from Kara's report did she? Well atleast not as much as she may have thought!

Say, "The Classics," John. "The Classics." Modern art is a joke! I, too love his client. Anyone with a sense of humor like is find by me. Ok...so JK and Frances have run into each other again. I wonder if she'll dart off like she did last time, or if she'll stick around and give him some answers... em

His client is such a lovely lady, I like her a lot and I wonder what would happen if she'd tell the others, that he's her lover. ;D So John.. are you into Art? Could be an advantage. Jess

I like Mrs van der Zandt.....(probably because it's such a DUTCH name ;D). And so the meet again.......well...as Lucy said this would be a whole different story compared to the other stories......I assume thay WON'T be attracted, their relation will be strictly business and they CERTAINLY WON'T start a relation......so I'm very curious where it's going........ ;D ;D Sandra

Mmm... I don't think Frances will run off so quick this time..........surroundings and company would make it awkward for her to do this .......she would draw too much attention to herself and now she has the golden opportunity anyway to find out a bit more about John for herself. I also like the relationship between the old lady and John........nice touch Lucy.
Margaret
EDit: Great Wp as ever Chris

Might I take a guess, Luc? Mich and Gaby both had 'strong' entrances. Frances's entrance to TC was MUCH more subtle. That makes all the difference in the world.
