I really enjoyed this -- great portrayals of all the characters. :-)

She could forgive a drunkard for ruining her new skirt just two nights ago and she could forgive the most hardened criminal who came to her for help but she could not forgive him for the scars I still held on my heart.

Oh, Florence!

Thank you! I'm glad you think so. I seem to remember reading one of your Tipping the Velvet fics not long ago. :)

I ♥ Florence. She's my favourite character in the book and I love her more every time I read it.

I agree, that was one of my favorite lines as well. I love this pairing, and I am glad that people write for them. This was a good story, and a different way to go about it. I liked the way Nan was able to dismiss Walter, and I liked how throughout all of this, Flo was with her. She's my favorite character too.

♥ You have no idea how happy this comment made me. You are seriously too kind. Thank you so much for making me smile! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm glad I could make you smile. And to be completely honest, I've been having a horrible day and this was the only thing that managed to make me *feel* anything, and in effect save me from a downward spiral. So really: thank YOU.

*hugs* I am unbelievably glad that I wrote this, then, if it made someone's day even a little bit brighter.
