WEEK 2 - CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

[maladied]

Let's retire in the countryside
Just as you wish it

Welcome to Hillbury

You come to in an intricately decorated dressing room. For those familiar with it, the style seems to be that of a Victorian manor house, and to those that aren't, even you can tell this is a stately room fit for the elite. In fact, you too, are decorated to match, fully dressed in luxurious suits or dresses, elegant and perfectly tailored, but still somewhat breezy and lightweight for the time period and class it belongs to. Looking outside, you get a view of a rolling and bright countryside. In the far distance, fields of crops and grazing cows can be barely spotted, but all of the nearby landmarks are elegant manors presumably similar to the one you stand in.

Heartening to hear they seem to like our area, then. More competent local allies will benefit everyone here.

What is it that has drawn them, I wonder?

Word is that Lady Henrietta is in poor health. They're hoping that the country air will do her some good.

Given what I hear about London's air these days, I reckon it surely might!

I wasn't aware she was doing so poorly -- I suppose she might not make the gathering today. We'll have to find an opportunity to convey our regards.

But being away from both the city air and water should indeed help.
