Contact Roger, and he will give you hints on how to get around this - especially using refresh/reload feature on each page you want to go to. Thank you, Laurie. I did contact Roger to report my problem with logging in. I was interested to hear your thoughts about the post that I made to answer your questions. I have been reading about Sprague and what happened to him after the divorce and I have come up with alot of information, that I posted for you. I found it most interesting that after his divorce from Kate, and a few mid life screw ups, he really led a pretty dull life. I thought Oller's quotes from Sprague, at the end of the book, when Sprague commented that he would not want to live out those early years ever again, was hilarious since, as soon as he married Dora, he came back, almost immediately from the wedding/honeymoon and ran for Governor of Rhode Island. Even into his late 60's he was trying to stay in politics by running for town council president. This man is a true study in habitual lies and contradictions. That didn't seem to change after Kate divorced him.

Mary on her husbands, or Kate on her father's? A big, hearty AMEN here, Gene! I agree 100%, especially as to the reasons she married Sprague, who turned out to be quite the TWERP in the words of another poster. Mary lacked Kate's self-control, but Kate's life was never the endless theater of loss and trauma that was Mary's lot almost from the beginning.

It is a very good read and Mr. Niven really did his homework on this one. |
