Black Lion Inn
by zanya
Seated alongside her father, Earl Edward, in the family Landau, Miranda shivered.
Slivers of wintry sunlight lit up the eastern sky.
‘Papa,’ Miranda began, ’Is Squire Dayton a handsome fellow?’
Holding his lorgnette closer, Earl Edward stared at his daughter.
‘Preposterous question. He has an annual income of fifty pounds..’
Their Landau stopped outside the ‘Black Lion’ inn.
Papa disembarked.
Miranda waited for stable boy Winston’s secret signal.
Miranda’s ghost, folklore says, still walks by the inn on wintry nights.
