Chapter Eleven

Town Tattler

Time seems to be flying as of late, as it always does at this time of the Season. So many rumors are swirling about without a shred of evidence to back them up. Evidence, you say? Yes, I say! Evidence! Wild stories and speculation get us nowhere as a society. Even if they are endlessly entertaining. We should demand truth or at least hope to seek it.

However, there are a few things I can report with accuracy. One, the strange infatuation between Lord Blackthorne and Lady Miri Bexley does, in fact, appear to be genuine. I still maintain that they would not suit in the long term, but if this is only a Season-long flirtation, I see no harm in such a thing. After all, both of them are notoriously private and circumspect, even the dashing earl for all of the rumors that still swirl about him and the possibility that he might think to prostitute himself. Rubbish, I say and again, until I see evidence to the contrary, rubbish it shall stay.

As for Lord Blackthorne's sister, Lady Anna? Well, being this Season's recipient of The Letter does seem to agree with her. She has been gadding about all over London as of late, dancing with so many handsome gentlemen it would make anyone's head spin and thoroughly enjoying herself. As she should. She is young and beautiful and, if the rumors of a potentially serious suitor are true, then her days as a debutante are numbered.

In other news, there does seem to be some mischief afoot regarding Lord Lansdale's business holdings here in London, though I am assured that both our favorite Bow Street Runner, Mr. Greer, and the so-called "barrister to the peerage," Mr. Jacob Beeston, are on the case. I have no doubt that any issues will be dealt with in short order and propriety restored. The same, unfortunately, cannot be said of Lansdale's sister, Lady Pearl Weston. Though she is of English blood, she will always be an American at heart I fear, and her behavior does tend toward the wild side. Can she be tamed? Perhaps by the right sort of man, I suppose, provided she does not strike out at him first as she did poor Mr. Randall Witherson. Only time will tell in that case.
