tales unwritten and stories untold

Via asakiyume: Tell me about a story I haven’t written, and I’ll give you one sentence from that story.

(Any story, about anything, not necessarily something I might actually write. Though something I would write is perfectly fine.)

Felicity and Ben, minuetting and debating!

"Not ladylike!" Felicity said, loud enough that one of the violinists skipped a note in the minuet. She swallowed and continued, more quietly but just as passionate. "It's not ladylike to take an interest in the affairs of our country?"

Across the minuet set, Elizabeth flashed Felicity a worried look. Felicity smiled at her reassuringly. She was not going to create a scene and ruin Elizabeth's first American ball!

"I apologize, Miss Merriman," Ben said. "Please loosen your grip before you crush my hand."

(So glad you're playing along! I *love* this meme--it's equal fun for everybody!)

I really liked that turn-of-the century one where the girl from a farming community in Ohio ends up becoming friends with the sister of a young raja. Remember the one? The raja is a foreign student at Oberlin, and when he arrives, he comes with a whole retinue that have to be put up in houses in the community?

"Oh, it's all splendid!" cried Violet, spinning around to try to take in all the lovely things it once. A crate stamped in strange letters, a little sandalwood table, a rich red carpet rolled up and leaning against the wall - Violet tripped over her feet and stumbled against the vast trunk. "Oh, Mother, do you think the carpet flies?"

"Maybe," said her mother. She thrust a broom into Violet's hands. "But this broom had better. The room needs to be all ready for her by the time she gets here!"

Maybe the one about the political criminal who had to disguise as a woman and attend finishing school in order to evade arrest.

"I don't care if you are an anarchist, sir," Miss Wood said. "In my house you simply can't wear a dress in that hideous shade of puce."
