[Jamie Fantasy]

This is a great story! I love the character of Charles and how he views the world and people around him. It really makes me appreciate the way I grew up, not having to restrict my thoughts, feelings, actions.

The only part that made me wonder was where Charles was surprised that Maria remembered his name. They grew up together and had many conversations, why would she not remember his name?

Anyway, I loved it! I think this would make a great novel.

This story shows the differences between the rich and the poor, the free and the restricted. This has true irony in the end when we realize that even though Maria has led a rich and wealthy life she knows nothing of the world beyond her home, while the servant knows of this world and has more freedom than her.

[Pax Dei]

This story brings out the contrast between privileged and working classes very well, though it leaves to the imagination in what locality (even continent?) it takes place. It is well constructed and the dialogue brings it forward nicely. It is also thought-provoking in that Charles realizes the truth that wealth can be costly -- here he sees his own superior freedom whereas Maria has grown up forfeiting hers in favor of being constantly guarded. So, who is actually richer?
Well done.
