Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold – Ch. 27 up on Patreon!

Scene 27 of Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold is up on Patre♡n! Wherein Carlisle has a proposal for Aubrey.

~

“As Lindsey has likely told you,” Lord Carlisle went on—Aubrey thought he put rather too much emphasis on Lindsey’s name minus its title, “I have a number of industrial concerns. Mining. Manufacturing. Boilers. Engines. Trains. Even muslin and, yes,” he added with another chuckle, “now pen-nibs. What, in your opinion as an engineer, do you believe to be the most interesting area of scientific development?”

The question stank of a test. Its purpose seemed self-evident; a determination of his worthiness. But how such determination would be derived from the question asked or the answer given, Aubrey couldn’t fathom. He decided to give Lord Carlisle the honest response he professed to desire. “Hydro-electric power.”

“Ah, yes, Lindsey did mention something about your work in that area upon his hunting lodge. Very interesting indeed. I wonder if, perhaps, you might wish to work upon the problem as a professional, rather than an amateur?”

Aubrey told his second lie of the interview. “I’m afraid I don’t follow.”

Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold – Ch. 26 up on Patreon!

Scene 26 of Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold is up on Patre♡n! Wherein Aubrey struggles under the burden of debt.

~

Frankly, Aubrey would rather have found himself underneath ten thousand pounds of steam pressure than ten thousand pounds in debt. At least some of the steam pressure could vent through a safety-valve. The debt had no such release.

Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold – Ch. 25 up on Patreon!

Scene 25 of Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold is up on Patre♡n! Wherein Lindsey concocts a wild scheme.

~

“I must urge discretion,” said Lindsey. He had never before shown particular attention to any lady, his sister’s friend or no, and society stood poised to seize upon any rumour of whom he might take as his bride. If it were known that he met repeatedly in private with Miss Devereaux, and did not afterwards marry her, the whispers would grow fierce, indeed. “In particular, I don’t think my sister would approve overmuch of my scheme.”

“What the Princess Rowena does not know should do her no harm,” Miss Devereaux assured him. “Besides, even if I do not become a royal bride, the mere fact I might have been considered for the post will only serve to improve my consequence.”

Scene 24 of Solar Fantasy – Aubrey & Lindsey Retold is up on Patre♡n! Wherein Lindsey and Rowena have a difficult conversation.

~

Lindsey smiled, already thinking ahead to the possibilities her answer had just opened up to him. Aubrey at future salons, certainly. But perhaps also Aubrey at a dinner party, or a musical recital, or even, if he let his wildest fantasies run on…

A ball.
