“ I would tell you if I remembered, but I’m not quite sure is was POISON. From what I can recall, they were just ACCIDENTS. “ And Sibella didn’t make it a point to actually go out of her way to think about it too long. Everyone was allowed their suspicions, all the same. The blonde just would find better use of her time. “ After all, it was spoken that they were actually cursed long ago, but no one EXPECTED them to actually drop dead. “

❝ —on some, yes. ❞

Christine, being inquisitive by nature, would like nothing more than to sit here all afternoon and pick this young woman’s brain.   Though she tries to avoid getting all caught up on the off-stage drama of the opera house, it’s a refreshing change to have someone her own age to share grapevine news with… and, though she’d never admit it aloud, a bit fun to be the one with the information regarding what rumors are being spread.

          “ It never hurts to talk about it now, would it? I understand, I understand. It’s INTERESTING to hear what words travel along these days anyways. “

And then, she was silent once more to make way for the explanation. All filled with speculation and thoughts passed through a couple people, to which none of them actually gave Sibella a scare. To think that this woman would have had heard something that would have done something like that.

              though of course, one was never hesitant to proclaim uniqueness, to decide they were different from all the rest. monty, in that respect, was an ordinary fellow. though, to have captured and kept the attention of sibella, he did not imagine he would soon be able to forget the high standard at which he held himself. the earldom was a second thought: cunning his only ever brought him here because sibella had ( in vain ) provided to him the motivation to take it for himself.

              “ i would wager to guess that some men are much worse than others. it is always the dullest and most notoriously terrible men that seem to be the most boastful and irritating. i’m sure a certain man with whom you are well acquainted is a rather decent example. ” had monty ever missed an opportunity to be spiteful towards lionel holland? most certainly not: jealously, though it had proven itself quite obsolete, occasional bested monty.

               It wasn’t as if she liked to think about the what if’s. If anything, she dreaded it. She was doing so well, as a WIFE, of all things. It just didn’t hurt to think of easing the slow drag of her life with something, or someone, a bit more exciting. And that is why she was thankful for Monty. To which most of the time she didn’t have to think about anything else when she was with him.

               But as he was speaking again, more than just a faint smile appeared on her lips then. “ You’re despicable. As if you were to know, Mr. Navarro. “ It was a scolding that one could hardly call it. It was not unfamiliar to hear words of those sorts leaving him, even more so since he has become an EARL. Having grown older, it seemed both of them were bold enough to sneak away with one another, an inevitably talk ill of her HUSBAND.

“ there is an old saying, ‘murder will out.’ i am really unable to see why thus should be so. at any rate, it is a statement impossible to proof, and one which must always remain a matter of opinion. because certain clumsy criminals have placed themselves in full view of that dull dog, the law, we are asked to believe that crime is inevitably awkward. the logic is not very obvious. i am convinced that many a delightful member of society has found it necessary at some time to remove a human obstacle, and has done so undetected and undisturbed by those pangs of conscience which society, afraid of itself, would have us believe wait upon the sinner. ” roy horniman
