What a good idea What if AM played the of part Roxanne?

Wow, Julianka7, what an inspired idea   It would have made more sense for Barnabas to have feelings right away if she looked like someone he already had deep feelings for.

ALSO....I'd vote for "Other" - DEAD GRANDMAMA in her coffin, smiling with her eyes open.  Oh my God.  THAT got me more than anything else in the history of DS.

     I had voted for the werewolf but I'm with you, Connie.  Smiling dead grandmamama would give me a heart attack

     We go to Vermont often.  I can't wait to go to that cemetery this summer.  Something way out of the ordinary to do.  My kids will love it.   Thanks for the info, arashi.

BuzzH----I would stop getting your info from your boss.

LOL!!  I can't *wait* to tell her she was wrong!  Bawahahahahahahahaha!

     Do you remember a Brewsters when you were growing up in Maine?   So many of the downtown stores failed when they opened up the malls.

     Yes, we have Wal-Marts in Maine.  The parking lots are packed all day long.  There is even a Sams Club in Portland.  Wal-mart is building a major distribution center in Lewiston.

     I asked some old-timers if they ever heard of Brewsters here in Maine.  So far, no one I have spoke to has heard of Brewsters.  Pecks Dept store was around many years ago.  People in their fifties remember sitting on Santa's lap at Pecks.  I don't know when they went out of business.

PS.  BuzzH----I would stop getting your info from your boss.

    Thank you, petofi.  I had never seen any DS comics.  The square jaws on Julia and Quentin make them look like super-hero wannabees.  I think Quentin looks more like Morgan Collins from PT.  Were all the characters given strong chins?

     Thanks Luciaphil.  I was hoping you would chime in.  I have read some Dickens novels and it seems even sons of the well to do can be mistreated.  I always thought that was an angle the writers might play with.  Joshua seemed to respect Jeremiah more than his own son.  He did not seem that close to Sarah either.  He told Miss. Winters in an annoyed voice that Sarah was in his library and she would only stay in the nursery if Miss Winter was with her(like spending five minutes with his daughter was torture).
     When I read the fan fic about Barnabas as a shipwright, I did not know the meaning of the word.  The way the story was written it made it seem more like he was an engineer.  After I looked it up and saw the world carpenter, it made Barnabas seem more manly. 

     I agree with victoriawinters.  I have a question about Barnabas'  inheritance.  I seem to recall Joshua and Jeremiah were partners.  Joshua could have chosen to leave his portion of the business to Jeremiah.  In parallel time, Bramwell was not part of the business.  Was Barnabas just an employee when we first see him in 1795?  Were the Collins family into shipping and shipbuilding?  I read a fan-fic once that said Barnabas was a shipwright(carpenter employed in the construction of ships).  I always thought he had a working knowledge of every aspect of the family business through apprenticeship.  I don't think he held any position of power since his father seemed very much in control of his son and any money his son would have access to.[spoiler]  Joshua treated him like an employee sending him to the shipyards in the pooring rain.  He threatened to leave him without money or the ablity to get a job when he married Angelique[/spoiler]
