“I feel like a poodle in a dog show,” Phineas chuckled as Phillip’s hands straightened his back. He had asked to be taught the basics of ballroom dance. With how well-known the circus was becoming, he figured it was only a matter of time before he’d have to dance at a party or some other function. No one had ever taught him, and he wanted to leave a good impression.

So it was that Phineas found himself alone in his one-man flat with Phillip, all the furniture pushed against the walls to give them enough room, while the younger man taught him the proper posture. Both of them were dressed only in their shirts, trousers, and shoes, to make movement a little easier. Phineas honestly appreciated that - his flat was poorly insulated - as well as Phillip’s willingness to teach him.

          IN HER WILDEST DREAMS, ANNE NEVER THOUGHT SHE’D BE ON BOARD A SHIP. adding to the fact said ship was travelling to england for an audience with the queen? she was almost ready to pinch herself. her reservations surrounding phillip, while still most necessary, had possibly been a little harsh considering the string he’d pulled to get them this far. pulling the shawl around her upper body more, she stepped out onto the deck. immediately, she glanced up at the countless ropes and perches that were practically begging for her attention - although risking upsetting the wrong people this early in their journey probably wasn’t the best idea, especially in broad daylight. as she wandered closer to where phillip was sat, anne took a deep breath. ❝ i never thanked you, ❞ she announced her arrival simply, standing to the side of the on deck bench to look out over the waves.

ROMILDA LIKES PARTIES. she likes everything about parties; even ones like this, where everyone is poised and polite and dead inside. she likes dressing up, she likes socializing, and most of all she likes being what she is--------loud and scandelous and yet so alarmingly charming--------and watch the looks, looks of awe and disdain and shock and admiration, that she recieves. she RELISHES in them.

how did i only just find this browsing through your tags omfg kill me ? but ye s i fully support this idea

(( hehehe heck yeah

         ANNE’S FEET WERE ACHING. having been up since before sunrise, fluffing the pillows and ironing sheets ready for the hotel’s new influx of guests, then moving on to waitressing in the hotel’s ridiculously fancy restaurant - seriously, she couldn’t pronounce half of the menu correctly after working there for the past few years even if she tried - and finally into the lounge. as dim as the room was, owing to a relaxed evening atmosphere, after the few hours extending into the early hours of the next morning? she was most definitely heading to exhaustion. and the ridiculous uniform shoes she had to wear, with their tiny devilish heels most certainly weren’t helping. with a frustrated huff, she swiped her cloth over one of the last few remaining tables while watching the majority of her co-workers leaving in a huddle of laughs. she guessed they were going out drinking, probably to come in tomorrow and complain endlessly about headaches and not feeling great. anne would be fine with that if it didn’t mean she had to pick up any slack.

um excuse you i didn’t ask to cry today?? how dare?? i’m scandalized

Have a home somewhere ? a family - a husband ?  No, she loved her life with her family  now with Barnum & Phillip . He had defied society , his parents,  the news & most of the southern states to kiss her during a performance - the real  scandal  than just a woman with a beard & a tall Irish man or the two black trapeze artist . She hadn’t meant for HIM to become her  dream
