A neat little sketch of Howard sitting by a window in his home

Well, nice to hear things are staying busy. If I can ask another question. This is for both you and your assistant. What is one thing you dislike most about Llyndun? I especially heard at night is a nesting ground for trouble.

"No more trouble than one would expect for such a lively city..." His flat, disinterested tone shifts as a lopsided, sharp smirk creeps onto his face.

"You'll never be starved for a story so long as there are streets in Llyndun. The shadows here are remarkably fertile."

"The gossip... the rumors spread like a blaze to the wind. Always waiting for someone to slip up, or for a single misstep to be displayed to the whole world. It's... suffocating, sometimes."

To start off simple, how does an average day in your life usually go?

"I wake, I work, I bleed the day dry, and I sleep. A perfectly cyclical monotony. I am a terribly busy man, and the clock yields far too few hours for me to spend them cataloging the minutes for an anonymous spectator. Good day, sir."

"Oh, my, it would seem the Doctor is not in the best of moods. It has been a long day. In truth his day is quite interesting as opposed to the average 'work grind' described here! You see-"

'WE. Are busy.'

Dr. Harold James Howard

Howard is a Victorian physician/surgeon and news publisher who runs in high circles, presenting himself as a distinguished gentleman and a scholar. He's a proud, smug, and stubborn man with a poet's tongue and a strong wit. He views the world through an analytical lens, with a warped and sometimes misguided perception, ready to judge or ‘correct’ anything deemed ‘unfit’, ‘unruly’, or simply ‘inefficient’. Not even God’s carefully crafted nature is exempt from his scrutiny. But he’s not just a man of words and debate- no, he is a man of action! Actions brought forth by deep-rooted insecurities and a nature most unsavory…hidden just behind the tailored mask of high society. He’s the product of an illegitimate marriage when his mother -the daughter of a wealthy Earl- fled the husband arranged for her to be with a common man. Harold’s ongoing battle for acceptance from his elite kin, and peers against the commoner stain on his physical appearance have made him, in some ways, cold and bitter behind his mild-mannered social demeanor. But don’t fall for the victim game. There’s an animal under that suit.  !!!SENSITIVITY WARNING!!! Dr. Howard has many views and behaviors that would be considered politically incorrect in our time, and even morally corrupt in ANY time. He is very vocal and prone to debate, so if you can not handle that in a fictional character, avoid sensitive topics or simply choose another character to interact with.

Dr. Granby Staunton Howard -- Scallywag of Carleton Place

Carleton Place Building. Thanks to Jaan Kolk–Hey Linda, the 1888-9 Ontario Gazetteer you referenced actually has an ad for the Grand Central Hotel on the page following the listing (p.225) with a drawing – and it gives the location as directly opposite CPR station– Did You Know we Once Had a Grand Hotel? The Grand Central Hotel building is on the right on Franktown Road in the distance.- Shane…
