Persuasion - Jane Austen
And Now the Storm-Blast Came
by AMarguerite
Anne Elliot stays in Lyme to nurse Louisa, and starts collecting fossils. While looking for these curios on the beaches of Lyme Regis, she and Captain Wentworth get caught in a thunderstorm, search for shelter, and pine a lot. Coleridge's 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' gets quoted frequently, though only Anne and Benwick ever recognize the allusions.
