The Nightingale's Nest cher529s
Lord _______ , the patriarch of the _______ family and the host of this charming gathering, is the quintessential patrician: the pinnacle of sensible, albeit not necessarily fashionable elegance, who enjoys a warming sip of rum and a game of cards in the evening.

Lord Browning Godric Hattin, 7th Earl of Adare
He was unaware until that moment that his mother was not, in fact, the late Countess Dowager, but a 17 year old upstairs maid with whom the late count had a brief affair. Since the countess had not provided an heir, the child was seen as a solution to a problem and raised acordingly. Unfortunately illigitamacy and inheritance are usually mutually exlusive.
