And you try to catch the twilight

As the day is quickly fading

You try to corner shadows

To soothe your ragged feelings

<...>

So you ramble on about life

And the truth that you are gaining

But you know that all the answers come out wrong

it seems to me that this is a rather unpopular pairing, but I like to think about them...

Swashtober 9 is Prudence Tremaine, from Georgette Heyer's absolutely wonderful 1928 romance novel THE MASQUERADERS. When Prudence and her brother have to hide out because of their father's involvement in the Jacobite Uprising, they drag up and go into London society, where Prudence keeps finding herself having to fight off folks with swords, while her brother spends his time flirting with everyone. The romantic lead is great, too - he's basically Mr. Darcy as played by Dave Bautista.
