this first son fled (quite literally) a career in the Law, you see the luck perceived by others was to him quite a bore. Sometimes one needs to travel far, to reveal the familiar.
PLEASE BE UPSTANDING
The Portraits' latest fragrant arrival. His scent, incensed (though, not like the rest!) warrior in a sweet-scented garden of sage wisdom and wit.
BROTHERLY LOVE
Hot tempers and sibling rivalry. Arthur and his younger brother, Lord George, meet again. Does Lord George remain the head of the family? You decide…
A KINDRED SPIRIT'S COUNSEL
A word to the wise from Changing Constance. She’s been a valued confident to Arthur ever since they were first acquainted, at the matrimony of Lady Blanche and Lord George – their respective siblings. Truly, it was Changing Constance who persuaded Arthur to escape the talons of tradition and head East.
