This was an interesting story written in just 100 words (I didn't count them; I'm taking your word for it). I wonder what became of Lady Isabel, but I like the way you ended the story. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. I enjoyed reading.
Opening the door,he announced, 'today, Isabel,divest yourself of your widow's weeds. (space after the comma after 'door' & capital 'T' on 'Today' & space after the comma after 'Isabela')
'Papa, My heart still grieves, for my beloved Sir Charles.' (either period after 'Papa' or lower case 'm' on 'my')
Rising from her seat,she exited (space after the comma)

Hello mystery writer,
I did enjoy your short story in just 100 words for the 100 word Dash contest...
Of course want to know more... where did she go??
Could be developed into a short story...

Comment from Wendy G
Unfortunately that's the way it was back then, with fathers organising marriages of convenience for their offspring who had no say. Money and social status were everything, a woman's opinion was nothing. Well said. Best wishes for your entry.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Well! I guess she took care of offspring secure the future!
Her father, Sir Edward's, footsteps echoed on the cobblestones. - I tried to think of how to fix the possessive footsteps, but came away believing it would be best rewritten: The echoing footsteps on the cobblestones were those of her father, Sir Edward.
...'today.Isabel,divest yourself of your widow's weeds. Meet Sir Malcom, an eligible suitor, whose wild oats have been sown'. - (Today) Also, the quote should be after the punctuation.
Best wishes.

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
In NYC they would say, she wasn't having it. lol She was so not interested that now all of this happens. You can't push someone to do what they don't want to do. Excellent writing for this challenge.
Best wishes,
Alex

Thanks for the accolade zanya
Comment from lancellot
Well, that's one was to address an unwanted marriage. But it also seems Papa was correct. His family died, as did their entire line. But what price is there for love.
Good story and it contains all the needed elements.

Comment from rspoet
This is an excellent, though sad, flash story for the contest.
It's difficult in just one word to have complete story,
but you've developed two characters, and the theme quite well.
Good luck in the contest.
