The Siesta (Ramon Martí i Alsina)

I chose today’s picture because these Wednesday Story Connection posts (along with the What’s Up Wednesday ones) are going to take a siesta during the month of August. My hubby is on vacation, and I plan to take a few days off to do things with him. I am also behind on writing projects, so I need to free up some time for that. I plan to pick up the Wednesday posts again in September – probably mid-month.

I was able to remember a story where Mr. Darcy sleeps in a chair next to Elizabeth’s bed, and I have extracted a portion of that story below for your reading pleasure.

Waking to Mr. Darcy is in Kindle Unlimited, so it is only available on Amazon. If you don’t already have this book in your library, I decided just now to set it to free for one day — TOMORROW, August 8 — as a totally random surprise.

Enjoy!

A Meeting by the Stile (Heywood Hardy)

Isn’t this a beautiful picture. I love this artist’s painting of horses and people. I could sit and look at them, admiring the details and dreaming up stories, for quite some time. 🙂

I thought that the name of this painting made it perfect to pair with the first chapter of Two Days in November since there is a gentleman on horseback and a meeting at a stile.

Two Days in November is a story that takes place over two days in November. They are the days after Jane and Elizabeth have left Netherfield, when Collins comes to Longbourn, and when Darcy and Elizabeth meet on the street in Meryton.

But it is Darcy’s discovering Elizabeth at the stile and hearing her sister’s tragic story of a love that was lost which turns his mind in a better direction than it was set upon going. I hope you enjoy reading about how this meeting at the stile begins. (It doesn’t finish until the end of chapter 2. 🙂 )

Enjoy!

PS. If you wish to read the full novelette, you can purchase a copy of it at your favourite retailer, or you can follow me on reamstories.com/leeniebrown or patreon.com/LeenieBrown and read it for free this month.
