Five Years of Sanditon

by MissToni

Summary:

So there's another drabble challenge to celebrate five years of Sidlotte - how could I resist?
These drabbles are mixed, modern and Regency, and come along as inspiration strikes.
By the way, “A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length”.

Notes:

Here's a little change of perspective.
It doesn't make much sense though if you haven't read A Distant Country, so prior to reading this drabble (100 words) you might want to read ADC (~100,000 words). I'll leave it to you to decide whether it's worth the effort ...

PS: The prompt is "Excitement"

Chapter 1: Crocodile Tears

Becky was a very well-behaved crocodile.

She knew exactly when to flash her charming felt-teeth smile and when to hide in the crook of Hollie Grace’s arm, pretending to be an ordinary toy crocodile (which she was, of course, not).

Today, she showed her best manners. She was even wearing a pink satin bow, matching the one adorning Hollie Grace’s dress. Today was a special day: Hollie Grace’s parents were getting married.

Even for a toy crocodile, this was a grand occasion. As the loving couple spoke their vows, Becky snuggled up to Hollie Grace, shedding a tear – or two.
