“I simply cannot understand,” Lady Agatha was saying to her nephew, Reginald, who was in the midst of attempting to stifle a yawn behind his newspaper.
It was a rather unremarkable morning when the scandal of the century, if one could call it such in a modestly sized village like Upper-Todborough-on-the-Wimp, unfurled itself like a poorly folded napkin at the family breakfast table.
Lady Agatha Hatherleigh, the matriarch of the esteemed Hatherleigh clan, sat regally at the head of the table, a woman whose influence extended beyond the village to the farthest corners of the neighbourhood, and whose opinions were treated with the reverence usually reserved for royalty—or perhaps the occasional well-bred dog.
Her powdered wig rested atop her head like a carefully sculpted piece of confectionery, and her sharp eyes never missed the slightest ripple in the social fabric.
Eol Stoltio, a self-proclaimed wordsmith with a penchant for the preposterous, Eol dreams of penning the next great English novel, complete with swooning maidens, dashing heroes, and enough social climbing to make a Kardashian blush. Armed with a thesaurus and a healthy disregard for modern grammar, Eol tirelessly crafts tales of high society, convinced that the world is desperately awaiting his insightful commentary on the finer points of cucumber sandwiches and the importance of a perfectly tailored waistcoat.
