Jane Scott finds Lady Agatha’s violin performance most disagreeable but forms a bond with her wife, Lady Leticia, and Prudence Varney, the wife of a prominent lawyer. It doesn’t hurt that they’re both dreadfully inexperienced with cards, and Jane makes a little pocket money. Mrs. Varney insists that it’s highway robbery and is only half joking.

Juliet Bikker indulges in her favorite hobby - flower arrangements. It might be a little gauche to decorate one’s own home with one’s own labors, but Juliet is secretly determined to “accidentally” dump tea on the crotch of anyone who says so.

Slowly but surely, I’m putting together my Victorian hood. I’m still working on the backstory, so this is a rough draft. Probably won’t be this dark, but it’s fun!

Welcome to Simsmouth*, a town where industry and tradition clash. With the discovery of a rich vein of coal up on Henge Hill and the resulting boom in business, many residents - old and new - would do anything to get a piece of the action. But as the excavation closes in on the old henge overlooking Simsmouth and the lower classes contemplate their future, a sense of unease has crept into town. Is the fate of Simsmouth already a foregone conclusion?

*Yes, that’s a Lovecraft reference. It was suggested as a joke, but I kind of like it.

The Scott family - Charles, Jane, and little Elizabeth - have moved into 1 Pontiff Place, located in the Park District and two blocks away from historic Waverly Manor. They represent the new banking interest in Simsmouth and have already profited greatly from the excavations on Henge Hill.
