The Duck Stops Here

Chapter Ten

Look who's in a row! So, the duck stops here. Or the ducks stop here. Whichever.

Spence and Sadie have been launched. Time to celebrate!

ps: Whoever called this Labor Day spoke the truth.

Thanks, Lis! It's a huge relief. Also it was fun. Not all the head-banging stuff I went through earlier. But the last chapter is always fun because I know the people so well by now and they have so much at stake. It's lovely when it all comes together like that -- especially when they get their happy ending before 4:00 in the morning!

Hooray for Spence and Sadie and their ducks!

Thanks, Michelle! Big relief. Thought I'd have to stick a dagger through the book to keep it from going on and on and on. The last chapter wouldn't quit. They always had more to say. This from a couple who wouldn't open their mouths for months!

Wonderful ducks! and all neatly in a row.

Congratulations - and huge sighs of relief. Now you can sleep, and take Gunnar and co for walks and sleep, and prepare for your visit to the UK - and sleep!

Congratulations on herding all those ducks out the door. I'll raise a mug of tea in celebration

Congrats!!!
The ducks are so cute :)

Kate and Kathleen, Thank you! And now I've discovered that their email system was down and I went off confident that the last gasp had arrived only to learn this morning that it hadn't. But fortunately their system is back up and it's all there now! Whew!

Congratulations Anne! It's been great reading about the journey you've been on with Spence and Sadie (I confess I'm playing catch-up with my blog reading at the moment due to being unwell and my laptop breaking).

I envy your 10 chapters. At the rate I'm going (just started Ch. 7 btw) I still have another 10 chapters to go!!

Hi Sue,

Thanks. I remember not long ago when you were just on chapter four. So you've done well indeed. Hope you are feeling better -- and that the laptop is, too!

Congratulations, Anne! You must be so pleased. Such lovely neat ducks. I bet they all work magnificently together!

Thanks, Annie! The blog ducks are neater than the Spence and Sadie ducks. But at least they were making sense the last time I saw them. I just hope they continue to do so for the editor.
