It is the September of 1890 in Bath, Somerset, and Major ________ ________ - a newcomer to town - has just wed the lovely Miss ________ ________ in the grand Bath Abbey, with photos of the happy couple decorating the papers.
Miss ________ - now Mrs ________ - is the daughter of the most respected solicitor in Bath and his wife, a prim and proper socialite. When they met, nearly forty years ago now, Mr. ________ was a young man completing his Grand Tour in Italy, and the future Mrs. ________ was a fiery suffragette born in Italy to English parents. They have both mellowed out considerably over the years: but until very recently, they had their hands full with their spirited, independent daughter, who, as a young girl, stole a violin from a shop display and would refuse to disclose its location until her parents agreed to get her a music tutor, and is now a virtuoso.
Major ________ is the scion of a family that has owned a textile mill in British India for generations. While his elder brother inherited the family business, ________ had to seek his fortune in the military, where he quickly clambered up the ranks of the colonial establishment. With his biting wit, commanding presence, and a figure that cut a pretty picture in uniform, he waltzed into a Bath ball - his first foray into his motherland - met ________, and never left.

It is the September of 1890 in Bath, Somerset, and Major Urian Blakeslee - a newcomer to town - has just wed the lovely Miss Verona Pitman in the grand Bath Abbey, with photos of the happy couple decorating the papers.
Miss Pitman - now Mrs Blakeslee - is the daughter of the most respected solicitor in Bath and his wife, a prim and proper socialite. When they met, nearly forty years ago now, Mr. Pitman was a young man completing his Grand Tour in Italy, and the future Mrs. Pitman was a fiery suffragette born in Italy to English parents. They have both mellowed out considerably over the years: but until very recently, they had their hands full with their spirited, independent daughter, who, as a young girl, stole a violin from a shop display and would refuse to disclose its location until her parents agreed to get her a music tutor, and is now a virtuoso.
Major Blakeslee is the scion of a family that has owned a textile mill in British India for generations. While his elder brother inherited the family business, Urian had to seek his fortune in the military, where he quickly clambered up the ranks of the colonial establishment. With his biting wit, commanding presence, and a figure that cut a pretty picture in uniform, he waltzed into a Bath ball - his first foray into his motherland - met Verona, and never left.
