(Just a few words 😉 I had seen a chair on Pinterest just before writing tomorrow’s story excerpt. It is the one I had in mind as I was writing. You can see that picture here if you are curious: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/89227636352488692/ )

She took a seat in the one chair that faced the door but was positioned in such a fashion that its occupant could share in the conversation at the hearth to their right or with Darcy while he sat at his desk on the left. It was a plush chair with a wide seat of creamy fabric decorated with flowers and vines.
She smoothed her skirt and looked up to see Darcy staring at her.
“Am I not supposed to sit here?” She made to move.
“No. Stay as you are. You are so charmingly arranged.”
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).

Lovely selection of chairs. Beautiful description as Darcy admired her from his desk. How cute… I bet she blushed.
She did 🙂 I love looking at everyday items and imagining who used them or in what room they might have been used.
I love some of those chairs! Thank you! I am enjoying “Thursday’s Three Hundred” so much.
You’re welcome. I wonder what the one on the top right-hand side looked like with cushions on it. The legs look nice and short so it might have been my height 🙂 My feet might actually reach the floor.
I’m happy to hear you are enjoying Thursday’s Three Hundred.
