"Dear Da," she says a bit hysterically, "I've made a terrible mistake. I've been robbing carriages, you see, a dreadful pastime for a young lady but one I find I'm quite good at, and I made the incalculably stupid mistake of deciding to hold up the one carriage in the whole of three countries containing my employer."

NOTE:

How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made

By looking on thee in the living day

—Sonnet XLIII, Shakespeare

From this prompt: "Group: Earnest young governess/Her charge's cynical older sister; Educated women! Historical women with agency! Books! Again, pick your own setting: Victorian New Zealand? 1900s South America? Elizabethan England? I’d prefer no big age gap, please."

It's more of a Steampunk/Napoleonic Wars vibe with a touch of vague Arthuriana thrown in (look up the other name for Trevena), but I hope you enjoy!

( in dreams they look on thee )

Hello Runner (I don't think that's official, but that's what I'm calling it), & thank you very much for signing up for this year's exchange. Feel free to read (or not read) this at your own will, the few absolute hard no thank you's are already in the Optional Details section of the prompt you received, so this is just a heavy dose of Even More Facts, in case you're interested.

Apologies for recycling some of the general notes from exchanges past, & for any rambling that may ensue, we're doing our best here. I'm going to try to be Eloquent & Helpful in re Ideas & Feels, but a great deal of this does just boil down to Gosh, I Like This A Lot, Please Sir, May I Have Another.

For any ~practical evidence~ of myself, I'm here on DW at
