The Solace of Solitude - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - Nov 11th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Every day, at 4pm, Lisa Rogers made sure that no calls, save for emergencies, got through to Mr Waverly. For fifteen minutes, she fielded everything and everyone, allowing the Old Man a small amount of peace within his day. He hadn’t asked her to do it, but appreciated her for it all the same.

Whatever was happening in the world, whatever disaster or looming terror, Alexander Waverly was grounded by this daily ritual. It was a simple thing, the importance of which had been instilled in him from a young age, by his mother. He rarely missed his afternoon tea.

wow this sounds like the opening for a great story!

Oh no, it does doesn't it? I suspect this might turn up at the beginning of something else one day, lol.

I do like Waverly fic and this was very sweet. The man deserves a break.

Thank you :-)
He's a man with the world on his shoulders, so he gets comfort where he can.

Aw, it's nice to read a positive story about Lisa. She is often the 'butt' of many stories. Great job!

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Thank you :-) She's not like by many, but I believe she is protective of Mr Waverly.

Good work, Lisa! Well thought, and very Waverly.

Thank you :-)

Englishmen must have that tea, and it is a ritual I completely agree with

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's a bit of a cliché, but it must be done. I enjoy afternoon tea at the weekends :-)

Lisa Rogers is a treasure, keeping THRUSH safe for 15 minutes a day.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Ha! I never thought of it that way :-D

Now I'm curious about what tea he prefers.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

I can't decide whether he'd have something expensive and top quality, or if he has some bog standard British stuff sent over :-)
