Tillingham, a town so small that if you blinked twice, you’d miss it, was the kind of place where secrets were as rare as an unsweetened scone at tea time and almost as offensive.
It was also home to Mrs. Hortense Frobisher, a widow whose pride was as unshakeable as the finest oak tree, though, admittedly, with a slight tendency to snap when under the slightest pressure. Mrs. Frobisher, ever the society matron, believed in only one mission: the marriage of her children to the most advantageous suitors, of course, if they could be persuaded that such decisions were their own.
Her late husband, Reginald, had never been quite what one might call a “strong-willed man.” To his credit, he had been a darling of the town if you considered a man who passed every opportunity to take charge “a darling.” His gravestone, much to Mrs. Frobisher’s dismay, had been engraved with the phrase, "Here Lies a Man Who Did What He Was Told," which, in her estimation, was about as fitting as a cabbage in a ballroom.
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.
