[1928] A Story About Love

Feb 04, 2009 23:21

I dedicate this story to Jake (nplusm) who will not only know which character I love best, but will also probably love the same person. (I fancy he will not be alone in this ;> but I also like to fancy that I'm not totally transparent, which I suppose is cute of me) The rest of you should read it too, and tell me what you think, or if it inspires any ( Read more... )

/gasp

I didn't know your story was about Rosa Bonheur!!!

I have no idea what that weird phrase means. I tried to google its meaning, to no avail. I wish I were smarter :P

An "off pony" (or "off horse") is the horse on the right side - the "off" part being the "off side," that is, the side opposite the driver's heart.

And flecking? It means what it almost sounds like - to tap lightly.

So she probably just nervously tapped a riding crop or light whip against the right-side pony.
