Here are my thoughts on what my characters might be getting up to, since I'm sure you all want a piece of the action.
Katie and I (we are in cahoots, as it happens) have been talking, and assuming her Cecilia is accepted, Nancy is going to be working for the Fitzgeralds. Presbyterians of a feather flocking together, or something like that. She won't have many relationships yet, and at the moment I'm feeling uninspired about any plots involving her. Super exciting, I know.
Mr. Franklin is presumably better known around the town, and will have more opportunities to interact with people, especially after we get some righteously indignant patriot types who want to condense their carousing and sedition into one convenient stop. Also, I noticed Betsy Tanner dislikes him, which could be interesting to develop in some way. I had also thought that he might be involved in smuggling (which he would call the 'Free Trade' and view as patriotic rather than criminal) in some small part, maybe letting smugglers use his cellar to store bales of tea. I don't want to spring a subplot on the board without others' input though, so, there you go.
