Great stuff
Power to the ladies of the 19th century, unfortunately it took another hundred years or more before real reforms were achieved.
Great writing Pixiehoff
If I hadn't seen this story posted here and with your name, Pixie, I'd have thought it was a genuine late-Victorian erotic novel. You have captured the essence of the age perfectly. Probably the only difference would have been the late-Victorian writer's attitude to women. As well as being an entertaining story, this chapter contains valuable lessons. There are a great number of truths about social attitudes, many of which persist to this day ("...got to admire the randy old sod..." as compared with "...she's a cradle-snatcher..."). In my opinion, your best chapter to date---shame that five stars is the limit.
The Sapphic lovemaking/sex scenes between Kate and Frances were magnificent. Beyond those, the rest of this chapter was great too. I do love that Frances plans to use Forty to have a bigger voice and increased power in such a male-dominated world. I look forward to reading more! :)
I am glad you enjoyed Kate and Frances - there will be more, much more of them. xx
I treasure that compliment - and I am glad you feel I am capturing the spirit of the age xx
I am grateful for the encouragement - it came at a moment I needed it xx
I am so glad that you are enjoying the series xxx
Your beautiful detailed writing style illuminates a period of British history that for women must have been like the industrial climate of the age; dismal, noisy snd smoggy. Thank you darling xxxx
