#symonnet desjardoux
the intimacy of reading together..
Something was going on with the scion of House Desjardoux. And it was about time, too. The young man, despite his eccentricities and bookishness, was quite a catch; handsome, from a good family, and in line to inherit a decent fortune. Yet every match that had been arranged for him, he had turned down.
But rumor had it, he would be attending House Montpelier’s soiree with a plus one.
Who could the lucky girl be? And how many of Symonnet’s turned-down, would-be brides were sharpening letter openers and seam rippers to stab her in the back as soon as they had an opportunity?
Imagine their surprise when he arrived with, of all things, a malemiqo'te on his arm. There were at least three ladies on fainting couches and another two who got quiteembarrassingly drunk that night.
