Hi! Thank you so much for reading my story! I'm kind of in love with it, so...
Don't be afraid to leave a suggestion via the comments; I take your feedback to heart. It's great to have an outsider's opinion on a certain sentence.
To start, I'd like to let you know that this is a Victorian-era story. And with that comes slang indigenous to that time period. I sprinkle such phrases into dialogue to create realism, but you will probably have no idea what they mean.
Never fear! Here's the link I used to acquire my slang: http://mentalfloss.com/article/53529/56-delightful-victorian-slang-terms-you-should-be-using. I also used this one, particularly for the pirates' dialogue, so check it out as well: http://www.pirateglossary.com/namecalling/.
Again, thank you for deciding to peruse my story, and I hope you enjoy it and leave comments when you feel comments are needed! :)
