I've been having so much trouble with this chapter because when I gave the original draft (which has since changed a lot) to my family to beta read, they said that Loi sounded "too British." And then I got totally in my head, and lost her voice, because all I could hear was Lady Mary. Turns out, it took writing an unrelated story from Mary's perspective to figure out the differences, and also to realise that it's ok if Lois sounds a little bit like Mary, because they're basically the same character, just from different time periods.

Hi!

Quote
It’s supposed to be the two of us, together, Lane and Kent.

I really love the irony of her saying this immediately as she finishes talking about her other man, lol.

Quote
It was probably an animal, or something… right?

lol, not with her luck!

Quote
So, technically, it wouldn’t be a lie. More like bending the truth.” I think I’m starting to like this girl.

lol

This is all still a little unreal, that I actually get to talk to people who lived through the war, that I’ll get to hear their stories, and firsthand accounts.

This IS surreal - what a cool idea!

Quote
Always start with the silverware on the outside, and work your way inward with each course.

Anna is so helpful! And I wonder if Lois absorbed any of this kind of thing form Lex? Even if he wasn't really the dinner party kid of guy.

Quote
I apologise in advance for anything my family is about to say.

I love this - I feel like Lois could say the same about her family, which is a lot of fun, since this is her family.

Quote
“But– don’t switch it now. That’s worse.”

lol Lois just can't win on this one.

I don't know Downton Abbey, but Granny seems fun!
And I just love the idea of Lois as a good influence!


Looking forward to this summer's Location Challenge! Looks like stories are due around August 1st, and then polls open for voting!

And don't forget about the 2026 fundraiser! Head over to the Fundraising page to donate or consider adding a story to the Keepsake Collection fundraising drive!

Never got into Jane Austin or Downtown Abbey, but I'm loving your take on this! Such an interesting premise, I'm looking forward to more =)
