John Thornton's hands shook so hard he could barely make out the printed letters on the page. He must be misreading the names, he thought to himself. "ARREST OF HALE THE MUTINEER AND PIRATE. Mr. Frederick Hale, formerly of Helstone, awaits a naval court martial on charges of mutiny, piracy, and treason." John determined to call upon the Hales to make sure there was no connection.

"And the knowledge had come too late – too late even for the bitter solace of being with him at the last. If she had not been so blind – so foolish – she would have had the right to go to him now..."

O! Let me have thee whole! all - all - be mine! » by
MrsVonTrapp
Anne and Gilbert's M-rated wedding night and honeymoon moments from my story 'Let Love clasp Grief lest both be drown'd'. From both Anne and Gilbert's perspective, this is my contribution to that romantic, impassioned time that LMM left as a frustratingly blank canvas, as our two learn about themselves and one another. It contains a three-chapter arc. And a fair bit of Keats!
