Description summary:
The description varies based on your value of Comments on the Vivacious Marchioness.
Comments | Description |
---|---|
1 - 9 | The Vivacious Marchioness had many friends once. Now she keeps only a few intimates, all else are contacts or circles – to which she makes unflattering references to Dante. |
10 - 19 | The Vivacious Marchioness once had friends who traded in honey. Of course, when they were hauled off to New Newgate, they were merely acquaintances. |
20 - 29 | The Marchioness has been married at least three times, and has a regular box at the Royal where she entertains. It's said she acquired at least two of her husbands at the opera. |
30 - 39 | The Marchioness has enemies in the Palace. The origins of the feud are murky, but all agree it involved a late night card game in the servants' kitchen. There is a maid who wears a string of red moon-pearls, worth more than her wages for a century. |
40 - 49 | The Marchioness has met the Captivating Princess only once. It was agreed that, from then on, they would co-ordinate calendars to ensure that they never appeared at the same event again – for the public good. |
50 - 59 | Mr Wines knows the Marchioness; she is forbidden from the Parlour of Virtue and has a guest suite in the House of Chimes. |
60 - 69 | The Marchioness has never hosted a party, but she has attended more than six thousand […]. It's said she keeps every invitation and dance card […]. A missed invitation would, apparently, destroy her collection. The postal service lives in fear. |
70 - 79 | It's said that the Marchioness once owned half of Devonshire, but lost it in a game of bowls. It's said that she returns to the Surface once a year […]. It's said that she's never left the Neath and there's not a soul above looking for her below. |
80 - 89 | Only one of the Marchioness' weddings was in London. It was held at St Fiacre's and the Bishop of Southwark presided. It's said that her entry into the marriage registry was penned in violant ink. |
90 - 99 | The Marchioness has never died, or if she has, it has never been recorded. She uses this as an excuse, refusing to visit the Tomb-Colonies (even […] for her own reputation), on the grounds that she wouldn't wish to upset the almost-dead. |
100 | The Marchioness owns no property. She only rents. She moves once a year, and never returns to the same place. The list of agents in London who'll deal with her diminishes by the year. |
