The Tale of the Flower Thief

While roaming about the grounds of Jane Austen's garden Liz decided she simply must have a souvenir of the botanical variety.  The bright and fragrant flowers were too tempting for her to resist. 

After carefully looking around lest a museum official should catch her in the act, she plucked a flower from its stem.

Carefully  pressing it, she then slyly concealed it in her belongings.  Liz was not brought to justice for this crime.  The Flower Thief remains at large.  

I can't say I blame her for this blatant thievery.  Jane Austen's flowers were quite beautiful, even as they were beginning to wilt with autumn's approach.
