My Victorian day by zanya A Typical Day writing prompt entry |
On my day off, I rise from my slumbers early.
No emails or deadlines to address. I open a window on the past through historical records and ancestry sites. Ladies in bonnets and long gowns, accompanied by their menfolk, in top hats and waistcoats come out to play. Soon I am accompanying them, up their marble staircase, into their high- ceilinged drawing rooms , to play serenades on the pianoforte. By mid afternoon the butler serves tea, with cucumber sandwiches or linen scones. Too soon they must retire to their dimly-lit boudoir. I return to modern day maelstrom.
