Ah, lovely, lovely. I am drawn in so much by the details - the firelight glinting off the coins and the single, tiny bead. I also love your Jane - and how Will seems to like having strong-minded women around him *g* I also love how she made the boots (the pirate boots, no less ;D). Well, as the saying goes, if the shoe (or boot) fits...

Wonderful. You always make it look so easy and effortless when you write - and I know damn well it isn't. Whatever you write is always such a pleasure to read, not only because it is good, but because your sentences and speech patterns have a great rhythm. It just works.
