Thanks, Jenn! I'm happy (and relieved!) to be able to write it again. I think my suspicions over what was causing the block were correct - since I quit Utopia the muse has returned. :)

That scene with Bush in the prison was perfect. Perfect!!!!

It's interesting you should say that, as that little scene was the last thing to be written in this chapter, done in about ten minutes. I needed to break up the scenes at Hornblower's house, and also thought we should see Bush at least once! :)
