My Dear Readers,

The days are warming up nicely and much to my delight so is the gossip. Some in Society are calling the latest news about the Duke of Rathburne a scandal while others are saying it is perfectly innocent and the gentlemanly thing for him to do. I will leave it up to you, dear Readers, to decide for yourselves which you choose because it’s fact not rumor. The duke has moved out of his home in St. James for a few days in order to accommodate his ward, Miss Fast, and her companion while their house undergoes an inspection. I’m not usually one to give credence to anyone who misquotes Shakespeare even by a word or two, but I do think I agree with the person who said he thought he smelled a rat.
