Seven (or, well, nine) Sentence Sunday Tuesday
Thank you to @sanguinarysanguinity for tagging me. I started the fic where Maria Hornblower gets a job!
They were sitting by the fire when Maria broached the subject. "Horry?" she asked and watched Horatio start and blink.
He was a little distracted. So perhaps her timing was not the best. There had been a spelling error in his gazette letter. She had noticed it and had decided not to say anything to him -- the damage had, after all, been done. But she was fairly certain he had seen it, too, and was now considering the possibility that it was the first in a cascading chain of errors that would end ultimately in the fiery destruction of his career.
Well, perhaps it was a good time to call his attention to something other than his spelling of the word "affected."
"Horry," Maria said, "could you tell me about the Nautical Almanac?"
Tagging: @notasapleasure @the-golden-vanity @stripedroseandsketchpads and anyone else who would like to!
