This is a very good story so far.
I am hoping that Louis asks Clara to go with him to the ball, even if it seems unlikely. Hmm, I am also looking forward to some other interchanges.
I like how you fit the new characters into the same mold. I especially like how you kept so close to the original dialogue and situation but it stayed believable.
The outfits of Louis and Clara are perfect.
Even Jonathan's dialogue has a new meaning and feel without really changing.
Keep up the good work.
