Thank you for all your encouraging comments! I do intend to follow up Letty [and a foray into the catacombs of Paris], Finchbury [and a lady who is a foil for him and who will make him happy], Adam, [who deserves someone to take away his disappointment] and Edward's balloon-mad friend. Edward and Beth will wander through the pages of future stories, and as a request has been made re Molly I may have to look into seeing something for her too.
And I haven't forgotten to follow up favourite characters from other series... there will be crossovers in my stories! I've got about 25 plot outlines that intertwine planned out [and some more Jane and Caleb too]

It is a truth universally acknowledged that anyone in possession of a good brain must be in want of a good read
