I found it quite amusing that Angelique and her mother got off the coach at Hammersmith, which ironically, is the hometown of one Mr. Alan Rickman...I'm sure it is quite the coincidence...;0)
Obviously, Obadiah seems to have a soft spot in his heart for Angelique...His reaction when she fell into his lap when the coach hit a deep pothole, was priceless as was hers too.
The name Angelique, a very pretty name, in fact, reminds me of another Angelique, also blonde haired, from the old tv ashow, 'Dark Shadows'. She was the maid to Barnabas Collins' future bride, Josette Dupres. Angelique was a witch, and had eyes for Barnabas, and they had a brief affair in Martinique, when Barnabas and his father delivered a shipment to the island. Upon arriving in Collinsport, for the wedding, Angelique tried again to get Barnabas' attention, and when he refused her, she set a bat on him and turned him into a vampire. If you are familiar with the story, then you know what happens after, but if not, well, BC 'dies' after the bite, his family is unaware that he is a vampire, and he's buried in the family mausileam, until in 1967,(BC died in 1795), Willie Loomis, a caretaker for the current Collins family, unlocks the coffin, hoping to steal the family jewels, instead, he releases Barnabas from his tomb, he rises, takes Willie in as his servant, and introduces himself to the family as a cousin from England.
Forgive me for this bit of nostalgia, but the name Angelique prompted some very fond memories of one of my favorite tv shows! Also, there were, at the time, a series of novels based on the tv show, which I own, not all, but some. These were written by Marilyn Ross, who incidently, turned out to be a man!
I apologiize for the long review, but your Angelique invoked a happy memory and I had no choice, but to relive my memeories of a long ago favorite...
I am thoroughly enjoying 'Obadiah's Angel' and I assume, that the angel in question, may be Miss Angelique?
He seems to be quite fond of her!
Author's Response: Oh Thank You for the review..I am GLAD you are enjoying it! Yes I too watched Dark Shadows..Barnabas was my favorite! LOL!! Yes Angelique is Obadiah's Angel..But it will be several chapters before he finds her again!..I HOPE you will continue to read and review...Thank You...
I am new to the saga of Obadiah Slope, since I have'nt seen 'The Barchester Chronicless', but I am enjoying this story, and was quite amused by Obadiah's reaction to the girls flirting with him. Very cute!
Of course he is a man of the cloth and therefore had to behave in a proper manner, towrds his 'admirers'.
I think this is a great story so far, and I'll go check out the next chapter!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading chapters 1 + 2. The story pulled me in. The plot and narration kept my attention. The imagery took me right back to the world of the Barchester Chronicles. Find myself making predictions about what could happen and am looking forward to reading more chapters...
