Description

The papers called him her ‘Able-Bodied Footman’.

He wasn’t anything of the kind, mostly because he wasn’t paid, but he wouldn’t want to be paid for his services, anyway. Services which were varied and numerous but pertaining mostly to her, which was why the papers called him her ‘Able-Bodied Footman’ in the first place. He liked it, but he didn’t tell her that. A footman knows his place.

Read the whole short story here .

(Iz with Finney in Chicago, early 1928.)

(Finney was created by nehi .)

This is so beautiful and it captures the mood of the time period so well! What medium do you use?

I'd also love to know more about Iz and Finney since I came from another one of your deviations that also had a little excerpt about them

I love the effect that you get with that process! It's really fitting of their story too somehow. 
Oh that's so cool that you're going to have a site for them. I admire people who can do that and hope to do that someday too. 
And I totally understand that their story probably has so much more depth that can't be squashed down to one comment! I love that!
Theirs sounds like a story that would take you on an emotional roller coaster haha which are the best ones, the ones that remind you you have a heart and then proceed to wrench it out. ;-;  
I look forward to seeing more!
