Mmm, some lovely imagery here. Elizabeth is a very Jane Austen/Kate Chopin character, I always thought-- just waiting for her chance to break constraints and act on her own terms.
Like others, I love the comparison of Will as a real man, as compared to the primly dressed, hoity-toity types, as well as that of sword-fighting to dancing.
No musicians of her father’s hiring can match the powerful symphony Will plays on the orchestra of her flesh with his lightest touch. What a sensual description, and perfect in its simplicity and subtle hints.
Liking the 'reluctant jealousy' as well-- after all, no matter what upbringing you have, everybody really yearns for an adventure, to do something so memorable.
I love your drabbles-- you have such insight that it's made it impossible for me to look at the characters the same way!
