#WordWeavers Day 27: Describe one of your characters from the point of view of another character.

--

Samuel was just donning his hat to leave the Browning townhouse when Isabel stopped him in the foyer.

“Are you really calling on Archie’s sister? That girl is attics to let, Sam.”

“Bella, my dear, she is no such thing.”

“You saw how she ran from the Assembly Rooms; Archie was mortified.”

“She’s frightened, Bella; nothing more. Once I know why, I can help her. She’s no different from the soldiers I help every day.”

“Clytemnestra Preston has never been in battle,” Isabel scoffed.

“I beg to differ, cousin,” Samuel said, and walked out the door to mount his waiting horse. -- Clytie's Caller

I love this site. They also have fascinating article.s This is great for those of us who love the Regency, as well as those who wear proper period clothing. This partly explains how Brummell's neckcloths were so clean! His were either superfine cambric or fine Irish muslin (he had both). To my blind friends, sometimes, the printed s looked like f during that time, hence the muflin, foap, etc.

The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies is on sale at Kobo AU (maybe other places)

Older protagonists, well-researched Regency, mysteries based on real events, some romance but the central sibling relationship shines, fun but not fluffy — grim realities of life in those times confronted. Recommend!

We see social mobility throughout Austen and the Brontës' work, from low social order to rich heiresses. Austen was very keen on telling the story of social mobility during her lifetime because she also lived it.

A non-techy friend is interested in setting up social media accounts in the Fediverse and has asked me about good startup guides. She is especially interested in sharing photographs and videos of her historical dance troupe.

Recommendations for startup guides and or instances that would suit her would be greatly appreciated.
