Complacent

Governor Swann contemplated the parchment before him with great satisfaction and a stir of anticipation.

Young Post Captain Norrington was made Commodore at the tender age of thirty. No doubt about it, the boy was marked out for great things. Admiral, in due time, of course, and then… Who knew how high such a man might rise?

Now, with this promotion in his pocket, Norrington would (finally) ask for permission to address Elizabeth, Swann was sure of it. Well, he knew what his answer would be.

Then he could retire, with his darling child advantageously settled.

An excellent match indeed.

Nicely done--it fits perfectly with Swann's portrayal.

Thank you! I like Swann; I guess it shows, eh?

Ah, Swann, what little you know. Hehe.

(I'm glad you like my comments, I like leaving them.)

Yes, poor man - he had it all settled in his imagination and then poof.

(I love them! Finding a stack of comments in the inbox makes my day.)
