A Victorian Afternoon
The sun cast a gentle glow through the tall, ornate windows of the grand estate, bathing the drawing room in a warm, amber light. Lady Eleanor sat gracefully by the fireplace, her delicate hands resting on her lap as she listened intently to the murmur of conversations. Outside, a breeze stirred the lush gardens, whose vibrant blooms nodded softly in the breeze. A sense of calm and anticipation filled the air, as if the house itself was holding its breath for the coming evening. The clock chimed softly, marking the passage of time with a steady, reassuring rhythm. Every detail of the scene seemed imbued with a quiet elegance, from the intricate lace of Lady Eleanor’s gown to the subtle fragrance of blooming roses wafting through the open window.
