15 - Here and Back Again

[and after a great many months, someone is appearing much more as they should. Hair artfully arranged, and in a gown of burgundy velvet the previous three months might never have happened to the less than discerning eye. She is reclined on her favorite settee, and on an adjacent table rests a decanter of wine. With an amused smile she is reading the latest of Voltaire's scribblings]

[she bristles slightly]

I am. But there is only so far certain boundaries might be pushed.

Do you not approve of what I wear?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Course I do, just if it's stopping you from doing something, why not wear something else. Not all the time, just for when you need to.

It is different in Versailles, I think.

What might be gained in one freedom might cost countless others. Not that I have not worn breeches before. I did once quite publicly, on the stage.

Well, there you go, roller skate on stage! You can make a production of it! Would be a palace favourite I'm sure!
