I think it has all been said before, in a plethora of positive compliments. Another great tale of unpredictable peril from this well established team, and a surprising Deus ex Machina to thwart our bloodlust at the end. Well done, Barb, Windar and Madi!

And congratulations on the Oscar!

"LADY KATHERINE - was freed from slavery after four years. She returned to England and settled into a relatively quiet and secluded life in a small village in Kent. A young woman of boundless imagination and will, she made a name for herself writing and publishing exciting, and certainly risque for the times, tales of women in peril in exotic places and times."

Secretly taken in by a slightly older women with remarkable skills. She made her feel welcome and comforted her with generous offer. Feelings and terror are things that do not completely separate.

The stories were alight with passion and contradiction.

Silken oil shinning abreast the bounds of twinkling discovery.

The relationship was never questioned.

Simply an act of friendship.

Or so it seemed.

Nights of forbidden passion ... long days of just waiting.

And then ................

Freedom and allowing her to be her feminine self.

She didn't flee but embraced each second.

Most naked in her mind she was free to think of all that was possible.

She wrote many books under countless Pen Names.

No one is sure of her date of death or birth.

But the last line in the proven last book was...

"The sea has washed over me with wonder and I have embraced every wave like an inlet of power and delirious insanity."

May she rest in peace.

:rolleyes:

You can see why her poems and stories were so popular with the young ladies of the upper classes ;)
 
Another picture that I came upon too late to include in the story (I have actually seen the original, but didn't think of it as we wrote the story). It's by the 19th century French artist Jean-Leon Gerome and is entitled, appropriately enough, Le Marche d'esclaves. Barb, I would suggest you DO NOT bite his finger:p
