Decent chapter, though I'm a bit miffed that the plot itself didn't advance all that much. Still, it was enjoyable to read, so thanks for that.
Err... your formatting got a bit messed up. Early in the chapter, you seem to have forgotten to end the html for the italicized section, so a huge chunk of the chapter is in italics. I'm fairly sure you can edit the chapter and fix it.
Good luck with the next chapter.

Good catch. The error wasn't there when I previewed the submission and the terminate tag is in my master. I did edit the file so it should be fixed now. BJH
