When Colonel Brandon asks Miss Margaret Dashwood for her advice, she never imagines that such a small matter will come to change her life completely - but the arrival of Miss Eliza Williams and her young son promises to do just that.

Set some time after Jane Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility' & with an LGBT+ twist, this story was first published in Manifold Press's 'A Certain Persuasion' anthology.
