Description:: "I have considered the eyes of the world for so long that I think it is time that I had a little holiday from them. If one is not to please oneself in old age, when is one to please oneself?" ~Vita Sackville-West, All Passion Spent (67).
Widow Lady Maud Holland returns to England after decades abroad and reunites with lover Rose Buck. I have a special place in my heart for these two, so do expect more installments in the offing!
Notes:: Two bits counts as a series, right? I only seem to write in 'verses. The title of this series comes from All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West. Because Maud is my lesbian Lady Slane. I also doubt it's an accident the characters share the same last name.
