I'm pleased by the positive response to this story, but as I've said in the past, suspension of disbelief is important. When I ran this story by my good friend of 30 years - a retired FBI Agent, he just snorted. Then as I laid it out he concluded that a recluse like Robert who's only human contact was card games with foriegners at sea, might just be replaceable without anyone noticing. Once he secured the passport from an overworked consulate he was pretty much home free as long as no one turned him in. That is always the problem. Who can you trust with this secret. Why the twins? Why not? Plus Grace likes them. Two chapters and a wedding to go. Thanks again for reading. AA
