Lisbeth: I’m sorry…I’m sorry…

Winifred: Please, don’t touch me. I would just like to leave.

Lisbeth: Could we just talk? For a moment?

Winifred: I don’t want to talk with you again. You’re turning me into something I can’t be. Something I’m not!

Lisbeth: That isn’t something I’m doing! Winnie, just listen to me! Please!

Lisbeth: (cont.) I know I shouldn’t have…it’s my fault. But, you said you love me. If you truly do love me as you said you do, can we please remain friends? You’re the person in this world I care most about. You’re my best friend.

Winifred: I’m sorry…I have to go.

Lisbeth: Winnie please!

Winifred: Lis…I do love you, but I shouldn’t. So please, leave me alone. Forever.

Winifred: I thought there’d be other people here.

Lisbeth: Oh, no, I only asked you. I thought it’d be nice for us to be by ourselves, not with the whole schoolhouse around!

Winifred: Oh…

Lisbeth: Are you feeling okay? Did I do something wrong?

Winifred: I just don’t believe it’s best for us to be alone together…it went badly last time.

Lisbeth: Badly?

Winifred: Please don’t act like you don’t remember. You kissed me. You’re a queer.

Winifred: (cont.) It was disgustingly wrong, yet you made me like it. I’m worried if I’m alone with you, you’ll make me act upon feelings I shouldn’t have because, Lisbeth, I love you more than I’ve loved another friend before and it is terrifying.

Lisbeth: Oh…oh

Lisbeth: (cont.) Winnie, truly I’m sorry from the deepest depths of my heart.

Winifred: But you are…you’re like that? You’re a queer?

September, 1888

Jane had hated Lisbeth; Winifred did not. In fact, Winifred found herself really liking Lisbeth. Lisbeth was able to make conversations roll and flow exactly how they should. Winifred never had that ability; Flora most certainly did, but Winifred did not. Winifred also liked the way Lisbeth laughed before she first called her Winnie. There were many things Winifred really liked about Lisbeth by the end of the school day.

And it turned out there were many things Lisbeth liked about Winifred by the end of the school day. Or at least enough that Lisbeth felt comfortable asking Winifred if she’d like to go over the next day and giving her a hug goodbye.

Flora: Wait up! Guys! // Hey that doesn’t mean walk faster!

Winifred: We weren’t going faster. You’re just slow.

Ilse: Winnie don’t be rude, she clearly has news and can’t help being slow.

Louisa: What’s the news, Flor?

Flora: Do you guys remember Emmett? Super tall, ginger-

Louisa: Yeah.

Ilse: Duh!

Winifred: Sure?

Flora: Well a little birdie told me...

- - -

Pierre: Hey did you hear Emmetts brother and sister are coming to school now.

Eugene: Who told you that? Jane?

Pierre: No- we stopped talking over the summer.

- - -

Jane: I already don’t like the new girl.

Louisa: Why? Cause she isn’t Emmett? You know he isn’t returning this year- he’s too old.

Flora: We all know you had the biggest crush on him.

Jane: It’s not because of Emmett!

Flora: You seriously can’t already hate her Jane. She hasn’t done anything to you.

Louisa: <through laughter> Maybe she’s prettier than Jane?

Jane: <scoff> She isn’t prettier than me // But Winnie, she and her brother are at your desk.

Winifred: Oh I- I don’t mind.

Jane: God Winnie, don’t just let them walk all over you.

Flora: Jane? Hey Jane! No!

Jane: Get out of my cousins desk- now.

Lisbeth: Excuse me?

Flora: Jane don’t bother them. Winnie is fine to sit somewhere different.

Jane: This is her spot, Flora. She should sit here. Besides, boys sit on the other side.

Mr.Harrison: Jane Brandt, stop being bothersome and go take a seat.

Jane: Mr.Harrison!

Mr.Harrison: Now Jane!

Barrett: Come see me at lunch, okay? Bye Bethy.

Lisbeth: Bye Barrett.

- - -

Winifred: Hi. I’m, uh, I’m Janes cousin, Winifred. Sorry about Jane.

Lisbeth: It’s quite alright; and I’m Lisbeth, but please call me Lis and anything but Bethy.

Winifred: I take it that’s what your brother calls you?

Lisbeth: Yep- either that or Lizziebeth. I despise both.

Winifred: My whole family calls me Winnie. I suppose I don’t hate it. Actually, you could call me that if you’d like. It’s less formal sounding than Winifred.

Lisbeth: <chuckles> Okay, Winnie.

Mr.Harrison: Winifred, Elisabeth- Pay attention!

Lisbeth: Sorry Mr.Harrison...and it’s Lisbeth.

- - -

Lisbeth: So I’ll see you tomorrow and after school you’ll come over?

Winifred: I’ll ask my mother tonight if it’ll be okay with her.

December 1888 | From the Bedroom Window

Winifred hadn’t hated kissing Lisbeth...

Previous | Next | Transcript Under the Cut

Lisbeth: <laughing>

Winifred: <laughing> Lis! Come on, be serious.

Lisbeth: But Prince Charming mustn’t I be myself?

Winifred: You at least need to dance nice at your sisters wedding. / But I guess, for now, you can embrace your two left feet.

Lisbeth: Come on, you know you love my dancing.

Winifred: Maybe I do, but no one at the wedding is.

Lisbeth: On the contrary, you’re invited to the wedding so if you show then I’ll have someone who loves my dancing.

Winifred: Well I still have to ask my father if I’m allowed to attend.

- - -

Lisbeth: Back to your dance lessons?

Winifred: I guess so.

- - -

Winifred: So this is how you’d dance with a...um with a boy.

Lisbeth: Why can’t I just dance with you?

Winifred: Lis...we-

September, 1888

The Lang family had been nice. Winifred hadn’t spoken to many of the boys yet or even Lisbeth’s mother, but Emmett and Barrett were both nice at school and the younger two couldn’t be awful. The only person who rubbed Winifred the wrong way was Clara. She wasn’t mean. Hell Lisbeth was a bit rude towards Clara, but there was still something about her.

Winifred: Slow down!

Lisbeth: Come and get me! | papa I’m home!

Jarvis: Lizziebeth! Hi sweetie.

Lisbeth: Hi! Hey Leo, Otis, Emmet. | I brought a friend with me.

Winifred: Hello sirs, I’m Winifred...Hayward. I’m Winifred Hayward.

Jarvis: Good afternoon to you Winifred.

Winifred: Good afternoon to you too- and to the rest of you.

Lisbeth: Mama and papa are going to love you!

Winifred: I said one word to your father and haven’t even met your mother.

Lisbeth: Well thats mama right there. She loves everyone and also bakes everyone käesekuchen so I’d say to expect some. | Warning about my sister, she sucks. All she’s been doing is laying in bed and wishing her wedding would happen sooner. | So, shall we?

Winifred: We shall.

Lisbeth: Clara go help mama with dinner.

Clara: Who’s the friend?

Lisbeth: Go help mama with dinner. Now.

Clara: Well hello Lizziebeths friend. What a pleasure it is to meet you.

Winifred: Pleasure to meet you too, Clara.

So it appears you guys like the gays????????

[strangertorpedo]

So since I technically confirmed lesbian Winnie and unlabelled Lis can I share this picture now?

[strangertorpedo]

So you wanted the songs I think would be my characters top song on Spotify? No? Well too bad I guess

All below the cut: characters included are the current main (Flora, Winifred, Lavinia, Phoebe, Pierre, Eugene, Jane, Lisbeth)

*This is songs I think would be their top on Spotify wrapped + why AND not deep character analysis songs

Flora Hayward: Hayloft by Mother Mother; Once it started getting around on tiktok, they got obsessed however their second top song is Class Of 2013 by Mitski which says a lot.

Winifred Hayward: Good News by Julien Baker; Has made zero attempts to hide the fact she is indeed gay and sad at all hours of the day. This fact is only made clearer by the fact her other top songs are by Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Boygenius

Lavinia Hayward: Hey Lover by The Daughters Of Eve; Perfectly crafted her Spotify so this would be her top song because she knew if she didn’t do this, it’d be that one song from Dear Evan Hansen she listened to for all of Quarantine on repeat.

Phoebe Hayward: Pretty Girl by Clairo; Does not give a single care that Clairo is an industry plant because her songs still slap.

Pierre Herrmann: The Calliou Theme Song; He played it for a week straight to annoy Flora and because of that one week it became his top song.

Jane Brandt: I Did Something Bad by Taylor Swift; Jane spent all her money to see the Reputation tour and will die on the hill that it was robbed of awards. A close second to her top song is Getaway Car.

Eugene Schafer: Mr.Loverman by Ricky Montgomery; Every single one of his top songs are by Ricky Montgomery. Every single one of them. In fact, it’d be more surprising if literally any other song was his top one.

Lisbeth Lang: Picture To Burn by Taylor Swift; Lizzie still yells out “and I’ll tell mine your gay”. She is essentially the country/Red era Taylor Stan to Janes Reputation/Lover era Stan.
