This is the twenty-eight entry out of the thirty I'm attempting. It is part of a series of thirty entries so I hope you'll read each daily post to find out what happens in the end.

Thank you for reading!

 

We're almost at the end, readers!

 

28. Frog

She was in front of Almack’s.
Reason: the frog-like ribbits of the company.
Real reason: Mr Langston’s proposal. 
Her refusal.
She wandered outside. A groom was shoving a suitcase into a carriage. Miss Charleston was there. “Miss Sheffield, can I help you?”
“No, I was just on my way home.”
Alisa was leaving when she came closer. She took her hand like a lifelong friend and dropped her voice to a whisper. “I hope you don’t mind me calling you Alisa.”
She nodded, bewildered.
“I’ll only interfere with your life once more…by informing you of Mr Hurst’s sudden ill health.”
