The first Pause is complete.

Chapter 11 arrives here tomorrow.

Be sure to witness The Exchange between.

And with the pretty nurse in the center of the roundabout.

Will the Villas make a difference and at what cost to our FarWay girl?

Is danger close and where will the Four Companions go with the newfound treasure?

May these and more be answered on the morrow as we watch, read and wait as always for more.

Grandpa Jim

Now, in one place, you can visit all the characters in the first ten segments of the book.

Don’t miss a one. They’re all there. No one is hiding. Though some may be.

Will there be more? Only The Do’s know. Will they will be telling?

Only the names know. And they are about the game.

The Name Game ends the List of Names.

For TomMee D. HitBolt IX.

TomMee!

Oh my, that was fun.

The List of Names for The Do’s Series will be here tomorrow!!!!!

After much thought, the compiling Chronicler has settled on the appended youtube for this part of the book.

At times, the work can be demanding, tiring to the point of frustration, even for a scribe, then a game is appreciated and enjoyed.

Review the names of everyone you have met to this point in the novel, all those many different names for the many different players in the story, then take a break and play along with a song and beyond.

While you have the time, meet the neighbors and introduce yourself, swing back for a break to the Old Days and what was once so wildly popular and remains so with many today, then return next week to the New Days and the next segment of the continuing adventure.

It’s never long before the fun begins again.

And is with us even then.

Banana-fana.

Fo-Fim.

At this point in The Do’s Series, it seems clear the original work intended a pause or interlude to reflect on the story and its players.

“Pause 1” seems to be coincident with the surviving understandings of this webwork netnovel — though scholarly arguments remain as to the first formatting of the book.

The collections included here, in the interlude, start with a series of short truesays that may bridge to a newer day — or they may simply be daydreams from timepast.

As was the practice, there is at the end an appended youtube from the Old Days — though the writer of the second piece and the party appending the clipsing appear to have had access to differing versions of the tune.

Between the song works, written and sung, there is presented a rather active scene drawn on a high cliff above a roiling sea. A map is in the process of reconstruction which may shed light on where the event recounted here might have occurred.

A List of Names is itself still in the compilation stages. Particularly, the chronicler of this section is struggling with the song selection. That said, we are pushing the researcher, and this listing of names should be ready to view here at about this time next week.

Thank you for your patience and please enjoy the pause.

To write an old novel from scratch anew

Is not an easy undertaking,

Though worth the

Doing.

Readers,

We are now at the First Interlude in the webbook of the The Do’s Series.

With the spattering of futurepast writings recorded for your rest in Pause 1, you will find a List of Names describing the parties appearing in the first ten Segments of the emerging netnovel.

Both Pause 1 and the List of Names are close to final edits and should be post published on the web site this Friday, May 13, 2016.

In the interim, keep reading the first ten Segments of The Do’s Series.

God willing, more approach after the Pause.

Segment 10 of the “The Do’s Series”:

“Ms. Hoadie Carmichael & The Giselle Exchange”

“As Time Goes By”

It’s time to meet Nurse Hoadie and listen to Sam play and sing the song.

The nurse worries for the young lady with two fair names.

That she can make such a Giselle exchange.

Do the fundamental things apply?

Is it the same old story?

Old and new

For you.
