"Every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters" (Pearl, bc i can't be calling her Bullet here XD)

Jane Austen Sentences

"The very nature of character is to be consistent. It is only a shallow understanding of one's traits that would lead you to think so. For someone to have the capacity for both good and bad temper, does that make them inconsistent, or does it make them human?"

"I didn't make a fool of myself, did I?" :) :) Jane!

Period Drama Inspired Sentences [x] - @foreversequins

An awkward pause had passed between them when Jane had temporarily laid claim to his elbow. She quickly withdrew it, which Mr. Darcy believed was owed to her realization that he was not Mr. Bingley, and in fact a very poor substitute for a man she had grown accustomed to reaching for.

"No, not at all. Forgive me for not making my presence better known..."

He could not say that he'd ever been mistaken for Charles. His weighted silence in stark contrast to the talkative manner in which his oldest friend carried himself. In truth, Mr. Darcy was amused by it, even if it did not manifest in his look. "I do possess a serviceable arm, if you should still require one."

"I've been out of circulation so long, I've completely forgotten social niceties."

Period Drama Inspired Sentences [x] - @sanitatcm

Thus far, Mr. Darcy had noticed no blunders worthy of the other's concerns, but if being out of circulation was the impetus for social ineptitude, then what was the gentleman's excuse? He'd been wading in society for years and still he'd failed to make himself more available for conversation or encouragement. His impulse to say very little in response would have been far too comfortable of an approach, yet a certain young lady's reproof lingered in the back of his mind. If he did not take the trouble of practicing, he could never hope to perfect the art.

"Do not trouble yourself, Doctor, good manners are most often founded on consideration, and I have seen no deficiency in yours."

She stops abruptly at the other end of the hall once he makes his appearance, her heart jumping in beat when her eyes fall on him. Aisling stands there, chest heaving, teeth gritted together in a pained expression, accentuated by the tears spilling down her cheeks.

"Is it true?" Her gaze is critical, scanning his features, brain busy looking for her own face in his. "Have you two been lying to me my whole life?"

From the moment Aisling was born, he had longed to accept her as she was. His daughter, his only child. But as many arguments as he and Leona had shared on the very subject of this revelation, he had at least expected a warning—something. Now he was confronted by Aisling, clearly distraught, reasonably angry, and perhaps despising him more than anyone. He did not know what Leona had told her. He did not know anything at all but one thing... "Yes..."

Aisling storms into William's home, unannounced and without even a small knock, the streaks of mascara and pink eyes and nose all clear indications of how upset she is.

"Hello?!" She shrieks, wandering room to room searching for him. "Where are you, DAD?!"

"And we've seen a five percent improvement in the—" A heavy, suffocating silence fell over William's town home office when he heard a voice cry out. If not the shriek itself being enough to cause alarm, it was the word that reverberated and lingered, bouncing from wall to wall, that had stolen his breath. Dammit, Leona... "Forgive me, something has just come up. I'll—I'll call you back as soon as possible." With a hasty click, William was on his feet and stepping into the hallway with great trepidation.

Δ = playing with their hair. (Modern Leona with Willieeeee)

Guilt wasn't quite the word that William was looking for to describe what he felt. If he'd ever felt that, the remorse of being involved in something he never should've been involved in, had proven itself ineffective at keeping them apart for too long. He'd slept with married women before; most unsatisfied and looking for a moment of relief from their dull marriages, but with Leona, it was different. It was a little more complicated. He felt that complication even as her fingers weaved into the curls on his head, threatening to lull him back into a place of complacency. But a healthy dose of post-coital clarity came, which nearly starved the sensation of all of its usual pleasures. He lingered long enough at her side to be deemed polite before pressing a fleeting, chaste kiss upon her cheek and rising out of the bed to get dressed.

It was all hollow, anyways. She was married, and he was a bachelor who refused to be tied down. No love stories were ever going to be written for their sake.

♣ = discovering them crying. + (Now you get a sad with Lou)

It was out of the corner of his eye that Darcy had seen the young woman flee from the party. He had not been watching closely enough to make note of the cause, but his instinct was to follow. Along a corridor, where muffled sounds of laughter and music faded, until he heard the quiet whimpers of Miss Wolfe in the library.

As strained as their relationship had become after his insistence that she abandon all notions of marrying a man he could not bring himself to approve, he would be remiss to neglect her at her present moment of distress. Gently and quietly, he took hold of the door and appeared around, to the side in which she hide behind. He didn't speak a word, but his expression conveyed his concern before he reached to place his hand innocently upon her shoulder.
