Tom shook his head. “My apologies, but you will have to explain that.”

“It means she is not indifferent to me, and I have hope of succeeding if I stay my course.”

“I had no doubt you would succeed,” Tom replied.

“Yes, you did.” He lifted his mug. “To success,” he said before taking a large draught of his ale.

“To success,” Tom repeated. However, his mug was empty, so the toast was not so effective as it could have been.

Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

  1. Salute! Well that guy certainly looks comfortable in that picture. He has his dog, his pipe with a small bag of tobacco, a jug, and his glass of ale. What could be better than that? That is hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
