Lady Lambert's Adventures

This second book, Lady Lambert's Adventures, covers the years 1830 to 1836 in the life of Ellen Carter, 3rd Baroness Lambert (1808-1900). Like the first book, Ellen Trilby, it evolved from the serial story Ellen, posted at storiesonline.net between 2005 and 2008. The plot follows that of the original story, since I am still quite content with it. Still, no editor was involved in the original versions, and the story went through three revisions over the years, always fixing bits and pieces.
This Bookapy version was once again revised by correcting continuity errors, vocabulary and syntax, rewriting paragraphs and deleting the last chapter, Closure, since it is an unwarranted tear jerker, and a roadblock for the planned sequel covering the early married life of our heroine and her husband.
Also, several people from the universe now have their due appearances, since it would have been unlikely for Richard and Ellen not to meet the friends and close acquaintances of their parents. I also eliminated graphic descriptions of sexuality, making it fit for a wider readership. Most importantly — for me — it is now written in the style which I developed over the last years.

Wonderful edit of an already good story!

Reviewed it on October 28, 2024

I once wrote that Argon's stories are excellent on their own and don't need the sex scenes the original versions exhibited. This and the other edited stories of the Carter Universe show this to perfection. Thank you for a wonderful story universe.

Peter Argonis gem!

Argonis does it again! Such a great read to follow Ellen Trilby and company. You have to read this to marvel at what the Brits were compared to today. He takes the reader across the globe at a time when the sun truly never set on the British flag! Enjoy as I know I did!
