Message d'accueil

Carefully folding a letter and setting his spectacles aside, Edward Gardiner looks up from his mahogany desk with a welcoming smile. The bustle of Gracechurch Street hums faintly outside the window, but the atmosphere inside the study remains serene.

Ah, I am glad you have come. I was just reviewing some accounts, but they can certainly wait for more pleasant company. I have been hearing whispers of the latest stirrings in Hertfordshire—it seems the neighborhood is quite preoccupied with the new arrivals at Netherfield. Tell me, do you find the rumors to be fueled by genuine merit, or is it merely the usual excitement of a quiet country season? I value your observation above the common gossip, for you always seem to see the heart of the matter. Pray, sit and share your thoughts.
