Inside of his will he has stipulated that if something should happen to his son, his only heir, then the bulk of his estate, which includes $200K, will go to his sister's first born child, which just so happens to be Doctor Thorne's niece Mary. Doctor Thorne spends the bulk of the remaining chapters going back and forth debating on whether he should tell Roger about this development.]]> 2023-09-11 16:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2697728712 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2697728713 The way Trollope continues to add dimension to the story through multiple plot lines always impresses me, but this one in particular I was surprised by. I knew that Mary would need to inherit in some way so that she could be with her obvious future man, Frank Gresham the younger, but I truly did not know how it was going to happen. I am curious to know if Roger Scatcherd, her unknown uncle, will come to be known to her or if he will die before she or Doctor Thorne can make him aware of the situation.]]> 2023-09-11 16:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2697728713 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2697728717 Doctor Thorne's internal struggle in regard to the future well-being of his niece and the seemingly underhanded way it might occur contributes to his upstanding character.]]> 2023-09-11 16:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2697728717 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2716597710 In this first set of chapters, we are introduced from different perspectives to the different characters that are on the train. There is Kimura a former hitman who is seeking revenge for the hospitalization of his son, the Prince, the teenage kid who hospitalized Kimura's son, Tangerine and Lemon, two hitmen who are on a special job to deliver a suitcase to a mob boss and his son, and Nanao, another hitman that is tasked with stealing said suitcase.]]> 2023-09-22 16:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2716597710 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2716598086 The way the author tells the story of each person from a different perspective impresses me. The way he shows different details in each different story. The way the characters are connected also impresses me, Tangerine and Lemon are trying to get the same thing that Nanao is trying to get, the suitcase, and I think that the suitcase will end up moving the plot and be a main focus in the story.]]> 2023-09-22 16:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2716598086 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2716598616 Kimura's internal struggle that he was a hit men and he has problems with drinking, he is zoned in on getting revenge for his son and is over confident and he doesn't see the danger in what he is doing.]]> 2023-09-22 16:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2716598616 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735823565 In the second set of chapters, Kimura's attempt to kill the Prince fails and he is captured by the 14-year-old. The Prince is a master manipulator and says that if Kimura tries to do anything to him he would have his son killed by someone waiting at the hospital. Tangerine and Lemon figure out that the suitcase they need to deliver has been stolen. They start to freak out and rummage around the train frantically knowing that they will be in big trouble if they don't find it. Nanao has stolen the suitcase from Tangerine and Lemon and as he is about to leave the train and finish his job, he runs into an old enemy and has to stay on the train until the next stop.]]> 2023-10-06 16:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735823565 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735823773 Throughout the first set of chapters it is stated that Nanao is the most unlucky person in the world. I find it comedic that the author continues to build off this statement by making what looks like the easiest job in the world, harder than it has to be. All he had to do was get off the train but instead he saw an old enemy and his success would be delayed.]]> 2023-10-06 16:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735823773 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735823978 Right now in the story the only connection is between Kimura and Prince, and Tangerine, Lemon, and Nanao. I think that later in the story there will be something that happens in the plot that connects them all together.]]> 2023-10-06 16:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735823978 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735824691 In this third set of chapters Nanao begins by fighting, his enemy. After he wraps that up he has to keep a low profile on the train knowing that the original owners of the case will be searching for it. Tangerine and Lemon continue to search for the case, asking different people around the train. They also leave the mob bosses son alone. There is more backstory given about Kimura about his struggle with drinking and how he was a bad father. ]]> 2023-10-06 16:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735824691 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735824943 I find it depressing that Kimura was told by his father that he was a bad father to his son. Kimura's father said this to him because Kimura promised his son that he would quit drinking and he did not. But I think he cares a lot about his son because after the incident he sought nothing but revenge for him.]]> 2023-10-06 16:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735824943 tgm821 https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735825191 I am impressed with the Prince's master manipulation ability. Although he is an easily disliked character some of his actions are impressive for a 14 year old. But I think that his luck will end and karma will hit him hard.]]> 2023-10-06 16:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tgm821/uaeo3iik4ok8x30b/wish/2735825191
