"About July 21, 1620, the English voyagers at Leyden leave that city, where they had lived near twelve years, being accompanied by most of their brethren to Delft Haven, where their ship lay ready… At their parting, Mr. Robinson, falling down on his knees, and they all with him, with watery eyes, commended them with most fervent prayers to God.’

Admittedly a bit nervous, as this is my first public fic to feature any sort of romance. (And I'm also worried some of my ideas don't ENTIRELY come across here.) Wanted to post this all the same, and I hope y'all enjoy :3

But there was one time when an unleashed St. Bernard got into the house and began chasing and terrifying all the other cats. When the huge dog sniffed Leyden, the tiny cat batted its snout with an angry hiss, then pounced on the canine's shocked face. Leyden was a hissing fur grenade until a human plucked him off the dog, who ran out with his tail between his legs. To this day, when that dog's owner walks him past our building and he sees Leyden sitting in the window, the dog is terrified.

Note that Leiden is sometimes spelled Leyden in English.
