I love how Mansfield captures quiet heartbreak with such grace—Reggie’s hopes, Anne’s laughter, and that final bittersweet moment. I must admit that you have widened my thinking with this piece. Thanks Victoria.
Thank you for sharing this story, Victoria. A major strength, I feel, is that within a relatively short piece, the anguish of the young man is so keenly felt and the young lady’s mockery of his feelings and character, so evident. Great writing , such a sad story of love.

Thank you very much for sharing this. I was drawn in completely by the first sentence and found the whole story extremely engaging.
Thank you, Stewart. I’m glad you enjoyed it! ✨
How timely! I am working on a post on something related to Mansfield now and have linked to your article on her. I’ll add this one as well :)
I will also come back and read this one…read it ages ago. 💜
Thank you so much, Kate 🧡
