Couple at a Window, Georg Friedrich Kersting [Public domain] via Wikimedia Commons
These two look ready to go out for a walk, do they not? Kitty and Lorcan are also set to go walking in the garden again, but first…

“I shall not be long.” She rose from her chair and hurried from the room before dashing up the stairs and down the hall to her room to grab her bonnet and make certain she looked her best.
She was just exiting her room to fly back down the stairs when she saw him, standing in the hall, near the top of the stairs.
“I wished to retrieve my hat,” he held up two hats, one stacked on top of the other. “I told Alfred I would get his as well.” He was breathing more pronouncedly than normal. “I had to take the stairs two at a time and run from one room to the other so that I would not miss seeing you.”
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).

That is a great picture choice. Bless his heart. Poor Lorcan didn’t want to miss her. Heavy sign. That is so sweet. I am a bit perturbed that Alfred will be going with them but at least Lorcan & Kitty will be together. Hopefully, Alfred doesn’t do anything to impede their walk. It would be just like him if he did. Grrr!
Lorcan wants to find out about that black ribbon. 🙂 I might just let him.
That is such a charming picture. I’m sorry I looked the artist up, though. Now I need to read way more stuff about him to understand why he took many of his paintings and turned them around and inside out. Whew. kinda burn a few brain cells there. This one painting he seems to have done at least five different variations. I like the one above the best. You find the coolest stuff!
