OOC...This is an attempt to tell a small story of abduction in two different styles. In this thread Abigail Brighton a young woman of high society whose carriage has broken down is abducted by Lord Nicholas Booth whose appetites run in very dark channels.
In the contemporary version Abby Brighton the spoiled daughter of a wealthy family is kidnapped from her car by Nick Booth an allround bad boy and hell raiser.
The action in both threads will parallel each other.
My accomplice in this is mya who once set my pulse pounding long ago high in the jungle canopy.
Others may be invited to participate as the story develops.

IC...Lord Nicholas Booth frowned out the window of the carriage as it rolled out of the City towards 'Evergreen' the manor house he'd just purchased and was already tiring of. Country life was paling for the handsome young aristocrat. His evening's gaming at Harwell's Club had been cut short when Sophia Lane that horrible American actress had had the gall to burst in and accuse him of some 'breach of promise' thing, with threats of courts and barristers. It was shocking and terribly embaressing but finally the trollop had been ejected to his satisfaction and the amusement of the other members.
The evening had been sullied however and never one to moderate his tempers in the least, Lord Booth had left the club in a foul mood.
The night was dark, and the road full of ruts and there was an hour still in this swaying, bouncing misery before he was home, where at least he could lose himself in a pipe and possibly rummage the new maid, his father had sent over. At that thought he brightened somewhat. He brightened even more when Peeke his driver called down...
"M'Lord, a conveyence ahead, it's thrown a wheel looks like and there's a young lady standing by it."
Nicholas craned his head outside the window and it was indeed just as Peeke had said.
A stylish little buggy, lopsided in the ditch and a very, very pretty young woman standing beside it in some distress.
"Stop Peeke...I think it is only proper that we render aid, don't you?"
Abigail watched the carriage stop and wondered if she should be frightened.
George Tumley her companion had gone marching off to town over an hour ago to find a wheelwright and had left her, saying she would be quite allrght for an hour or two until he returned.
Now this big black carriage had pulled up with a gaunt thin man in the drivers seat and...
The door opened and Nicholas stepped out.
What a handsome young man!...perhaps it would not be a such a bad evening afterall
