Absolutely fantastic, now ive got my Gary Barlow impersonation in, Tony, i love your channel. I used to listen to get to sleep, now i get so engrossed i need to stay awake to hear the full story. ❤ From Glasgow.

The rain “drifted in like smoke and steam…and tasted of salt.” Lovely.

[@LucicPower]

This is story number 1 ill be listening to on the way to my brothers in New Hampshire on Christmas Eve, i need 2 more

[@StoryVoracious]

Happy Solstice Tony and Sheila! I hope that you will be celebrating. Thanks for this late Victorian romp, and the crack. I too thought of the Handsome Cabin Boy. Let's drink a toast to many more like who is neither man nor maid! 🍻

[@LucicPower]

The cabin boy Chris Elliot?

[@nksanbornski6687]

Wonderful! Thank you so much. Merry Christmas to all!. 🇨🇦

[@donaldmccleary9015]

Late to the show...but...better late than never! Had some Christmas preps to do! It is so hard to keep up! My favorite narrators are releasing stories at a rate that exceeds shells Russian siege guns send over the lines at night! Thanks for this gem, Tony!

[@TheRickie41]

High again from my little 1850’s sledgebed. Perfect to finish the day! Thank you. And have a wonderful Christmas!

[@yesterdayitrained]

Merry Christmas to you!

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas! Thank you for this amusing story---and the language lessons.

[@mijiyoon5575]

I enjoyed your intro & the art w/ it ... Thanks *Tony*

[@AndreaDingbatt]

This was A great deal of Fun, ~Thank you Tony!!! And we really enjoyed the synopsis as well. ...XxX....

[@HoboWorld-h5x]

That was so much fun! I liked all the action. Merry Christmas 2u-

Fantastic! What a lovely Christmas gift. Thank you

[@ronaldmussulman2735]

These are some of the coolest paintings I've seen in awhile!! ❤❤

[@mariameere5807]

I have been looking forward to this. Thank you so much ❤

[@peterbianchi6219]

Thanks!

[@dancingdingo]

Perfect for my beddy bye story tonight 😊

[@susanmercurio1060]

I am re-reading the Essay on Liberty by John Stuart Mill and he would completely agree with your statement that you disagree with the materialism that says that there is no spiritual connection at all.

[@juliadia007]

I really enjoyed that.🎉

[@meadow9]

Loved it! Thank you Tony! 🙏

[@amandine512]

Merry Christmas everyone.

[@KilronanMary]

And a Merry Christmas to you from Florida

[@StoryVoracious]

Merry Christmas from the deep South... of the planet.😄

[@yesterdayitrained]

Merry Christmas to all!

[@SusiRP]

Same to you, n a happy Solstice

[@donaldmccleary9015]

I love the philology and language analysis in your chat. I have had people question my use of root words (i.e. burgle vs. burglarize). I always think burglarized is too long and prefer burgle.

[@toscadonna]

Growing up in Texas, we had no vicars, so whenever I see the word, “vicar,” the only thing that comes to mind is Rose from “Keeping Up Appearances” and her efforts to seduce the vicar.😂

[@happygardener28]

Looking back even to Shakespeare's play 'As You Like It' and Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Watches' cross dressing thieves and runaways were a topic.

[@yesterdayitrained]

Interesting!

[@happygardener28]

@@yesterdayitrained Indeed, Lizzie Compton is an interesting RL study. (US Civil War)

[@susanmercurio1060]

I revel in discussions about words. In the US, we say, "You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy."

[@mijiyoon5575]

I watched your vid short👍👍👍👍👍

[@peterbianchi6219]

Sent a thanks. Not sure how it works at your end but hope you can put a little something in the doggies' stockings, certain they'll be hung with care. Happy Christmas and thanks for many hours of pleasure and information.

[@mijiyoon5575]

I live countryside & would not have it any other way ... especially in these days. People have turned into monsters ... some of'em

[@thurayya8905]

I could swear that she says her name was Lucy Farmer near the top of the story in the first chapter. That would add veracity to the tale. I am sure the biggest ghost is the writer, who must have been paid under the table for their Christmas story.

Smee 1st Nice Hell yea

[@mijiyoon5575]

I agree, the *ly* & the *ing* are not used or at least overused by *careful* writers

[@mijiyoon5575]

*'almost* knows it' ... guess *almost* is the difference ...😉

[@abbycross90210]

Am I mistaken? I thought the first detective/mystery novel was Edgar Allen Poe's. He created the theme of the brilliant detective that can solve anything.

[@mijiyoon5575]

Cornish manners...

[@thurayya8905]

Tony, you just tell those critics that they are full of . . . sheep. Well, just tell them that when THEY have their own channel, THEY can read it the way they want. Since most people are high on opinions and short on work, I doubt we will be hearing their accents any time soon.

[@bigpesst]

The summary/intro before the stories is so unnecessary and I can't understand why you started doing them. It would be great if you went back to the old format.

[@AndreaDingbatt]

You know there are ways of speeding past an Intro, ~rather like the off button, so you dont have to listen to the synopsis.......

[@susanmercurio1060]

Most of us are not complaining. Speaking for myself, I like them.

[@skiapod6427]

Where was this originally published? It doesn't seem to be part of the Cardewe Manor series in Cassell's Family Magazine, and doesn't read much like them.
