Airborne - the Hanover Restoration
“Not as I had in my dreams of Maia soaring above the rooftops in London. Not with the satisfaction of accomplishing the miracle of controlled flight by myself. But my twinge of envy as we rose high above the park was overwhelmed by my admiration for Rochefort’s genius. From my seat to Julian’s left, I peered out the airship’s front panes of glass and watched Hertfordshire unfold before me. Sheep, cows, fields of grain, oddly irregular hedgerows, clusters of trees. Farmhouses, villages, church sp...ires a trifle too close at times, causing my heartbeat a hiccup or two.
It was glorious. For the moment, I must be content to put aside my own dreams of flight, Perhaps when life was calmer . . .
