Miss Marjoribanks
Authorship not stated
You are Lucilla Marjoribanks, fifteen and home from school with a plan to console your widowed father, who sends you back for years of schooling and a year abroad instead. You return grown, win one season to prove yourself, and reopen the shuttered drawing-room for a weekly Thursday evening, weighing whether Carlingford's oldest families or its overlooked talents deserve the invitations. By the first Thursday, lamplight reaches corners unused since your mother's illness, and Barbara Lake waits beside the piano when the doorbell brings in a stranger, Mr Cavendish, unannounced.
