in other words, i'd very much like for you to write a lesbian novel set in a parisian literary circle of great import. (my personal preference would be for somewhere between nineteen-hundred and nineteen forty-four, although i'm not sure meredith would agree.) even just a page or a sentence would make me ever so happy, you know.

anna had been in love with elizabeth for years, though she would never tell her.

one night elizabeth invited her over for tea. she was expecting nothing from the evening. when she arrived, elizabeth informed her of how lonely she had been since her husband had died the year before.

anna offered her condolances. elizabeth unbuttoned her blouse.

the second sentence should always, always follow the first.

mm, I mized all of the ones that I got up into the same folder, so I'm not sure what I drew form what, exactly. The only ones I've drawn are the ones I posted awhile back, so if none were ones you recognised, then prolly not :/

How differently, thought Elizabeth, how very, very differently Paris approached matters than her homeland. Back in Tunbridge Wells she might have expected no more than three or four members in her literary appreciation meetings, perhaps the vicar's wife and a few elderly parishoners. She felt always that she was the most experienced of them all, leading them on to the shocking works of Mr Wilde. Yet here, she was the inexperienced one always. In its way it was refreshing: as an acolyte she was privy to all kinds of novel experiences, not the least of which were anything but literary.

mlle fanchon had always felt intimidated by madame sabrier's impressive literary prowess, so after much hesitation, she visited the good lady's salon for a discussion on flaubert's mme bovary

little did delicate fanchon know, she would pontificate on much more than the fine points of adultery (at least, adultery in the book mentioned)
