THE HOST Lord August Wulfstan Hastings, 7th Earl of Ashbourne AmoretTHE HOSTESS Lady Xanthe Rosmunda Hastings ishildTHE DUCHESS Her Grace Agnes Lucrezia Grenville, Duchess of Somerset WillowBelleTHE DUKE His Grace Hadrian Antinous Grenville, Duke of Somerset WordsmithTHE SOCIALITE Zahra bint Ismaael al Su'ud aPersonTHE ACTIVIST Miss Prudence Margaux Yeats WordsmithTHE APOLOGIST Mr. Zebulon "Zeb" Dexter Davis IV MasonThursday


In Colonial America, the original Zeb Davis, Mr. Davis' great grandfather, was involved in a pre-Revolutionary movement in South Carolina (as suggested by WillowBelle).He was captured and summarily executed by the British Colonial Governor, and his property was confiscated. The Davis family has never forgotten this grave insult to their honour, not to mention their wealth. They swore to take vengeance, even if it was to be exacted centuries later.In 1910, the Colonial Governor is long deceased. But Zeb Davis has learned that one of the Colonial Governor's descendants would be present at the Hastings' party, and he arranged to be there himself.The descendant in question is Sir _______ _______ , who has no idea whatsoever he has made a rival of Zeb Davis IV. He has never step foot in America: in fact, he had not stepped foot in his native England in months before coming to The Nightingale's Nest.He has spent the past several months big game hunting in British East Africa, and was intending to stay for longer - but something cut his trip short, and he raced back to England. But whatever trouble he was fleeing from might already have found him...Unsurprisingly, he is the best hunter in the party. _______ lives for the thrill of the chase, and it's not just big game we are speaking of. He is widely known as a libertine and smooth operator who ensnares unsuspecting hearts.But it seems that _______ is out of his usual turf. For if anyone has caught his attention at the party, it is the Duke of Somerset.Sir _______ "_______" _______ _______ , BaronetFirst name: the name of a fictional Byronic or Gothic hero which lends itself to the two-syllable nickname he goes by among friends.Middle name: a French surname.Surname: any name from this list - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extant_baronetcies#Baronetage_of_England_(1611%E2%80%931705).BONUS (optional, just for fun - I may or may not take inspiration): What draws Sir _______ 's attention to the Duke of Somerset, and could their interaction hold any significance in the context of the murder mystery? 🕊️❣️🌻💌🌻❣️🕊️masculine list: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/191050/124079
