and Sir Walter's handwriting again in this finale:-- "Heir presumptive, William Walter Elliot, Esq., great grandson of the second Sir Walter." Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; vanity of person and of situation. He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did, nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society. He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy; and the Sir Walter Elliot, who united these gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotio

My blood turned cold. > “Yesterday, the world called Thea Vane a hero. But a secret source has revealed that the 'affair' at the cabin was a staged play. Thea Vane was not a victim of a scandal; she was the director. She manipulated her husband, Elias Vane, and used a fake affair to distract the police while she stole files from her parents.

He'd whisper, "That's Mrs. Parker, and that's the representative from Versenne." With him around, I could face anyone with ease. Now, he was gone. I couldn't tell who mocked me and who pitied me. Murmuring an excuse, I slipped backstage into an empty lounge. Yet even there, the voices seeped through the walls. "Who's she fooling? Fiona bragged about that wedding dress she hand-sewed with three thousand pearls, and now it's just trash." "Who knows where Vincent went? Probably found someone new already."

Richard preferred to lose his business throne rather than touch Vanessa ever again. Vanessa stared at her own reflection in the wet windowpane. Her beautiful face looked exhausted, lined with a profound sense of defeat. All the dirty plans, coercion, and intrigues she had meticulously built over the years collapsed completely in a single night. That man would never look at her, even if she were the only woman left on earth. "Damn it... I give up," Vanessa whispered softly, her voice breaking into a bitter chuckle laden with resignation. She gulped down the rest of her champagne, then grabbed her handbag. For the first time, the cunning woman walked away without looking back, accepting her ab

“Mmph–” Vanessa’s voice was instantly cut off. The rancid stench of the rag shot straight up her nose, making her vision go dark as her stomach churned. However, the nightmare was far from over. After gagging her, the two matrons exchanged a look. Then, their fists and boots rained down upon Vanessa like a relentless storm. From that day forward, the person “Vanessa York” vanished from high society. In her place, in that old, isolated manor on the island, there was only a crazy, blind, and crippled woman whose sole purpose was to scrub the manor’s chamber pots and filthy toilets.

So Proserpina moves on to the next row, then the next one, and the next one, on and on until she was literally kneeling like a child on the floor when she finally comes across a book third to the last on the bottom row in between a skinny book and leather bound one; the book was silver-gray, small and light in her hands and the cover seemed to have some sort of glossy material in it as it twinkled when she turned it here and there… ‘Kind of a child’s storybook,’ she noted. The book was almost as big as her palm and seemed to have pages as what one would expect from a novelette. She carefully opens it up to the first page–not wanting to have a repeat of another destroyed book because a destro

I am in love with you and you are very beautiful, but she didn’t have to blah it round like that. I gasped in disbelief, but at that moment, the other doors opened and in climbed Vera and Fennella. How should I digest that information? And then I wondered if the flattery wasn’t part of the softening up process. Was it possible that Giles and Fennella were playing a clandestine game with me, pretending to be on our side, while actually still lusting after the three hundred thousand which my plan had taken from them? Or was Giles being sincere? He has the hots for me and will help me in order to enjoy the company of a young woman. I can live with that, so long as I don’t have to string him alo

"Hi... I'm Vic, short for Victoria." "Hello Vic, please join me." she invited the young girl to sit beside her. Agnes avoided the guest who arrived every day by hiding under the elm tree behind the Bern mansion. She brought with her a blanket and some books to spend the time alone. The girl flopped beside her. Victoria stared at her intently, "You are prettier in person than in the newspaper." Agnes smiled, "Thanks..." "Your Agnes Walden Duvier---" she said, stating the obvious.
