He removed his hat and ran his hand through his hair. He knew it was dangerous to be allowing himself to hope as he was, but she had seemed welcoming yesterday. She had even agreed to meet his sister. Surely, if she were set against him, she would have refused, or so he thought.

Again, he took a circuit of the great old tree, and this time, as he rounded it and faced Willow Hall, he saw her. He immediately put his hat on and then took it off. He ran his hand through his hair once again and replaced the hat, only to remove it a few seconds later as he waited for her to come close enough to greet.

“Mr. Darcy,” Elizabeth called, a smile lighting her face as she approached. “I see you still practice the exercise of walking each morning, although, it would seem you have wandered very far from your home.”

[from The Tenant’s Guest, Willow Hall book 2]

Wordless Wednesday: Exams

As mentioned last in Thursday’s post, there will be no Thursday’s Three Hundred post this week as exams are being written at my school. I hope to be back the following week with a picture post on Wed and a new serial story, which is sparked by that post, on Thursday. But for now, take some time to enjoy a book and a cup of tea.
