Still going strong and very enjoyable. I like the way that the characters of Josiah and Archibald are so well delineated by the differences in their speech. It brings a depth to the characters.
I think that some of the qualifying adverbs...

This is beautiful, a lovely tribute to a special friend. They become so much part of our lives. I hope writing this has helped a little, and thank you for sharing it.
