This is a closed thread for haremfaery and cgraven.
The Edwardian period in Great Britain brought in the 20th century with the death of Queen Victoria in 1901. When Bertie ascend the throne in 1901 the Victorian era was swept away, and a new age begun. Bertie the Playboy Prince of Wales was now Edward VII. Bertie when he was Prince of Wales had been kept out of any government position by his Mother Queen Victoria. Rather than being groomed and trained to be king he had been ostracized and left to his own devices. He had open affairs with Lady Randolph Churchill, Alice Keppel, and many other women. Where the Victorian period was noted for its social morality Edwards reign was not but took on the lack of morality of his days as Prince of Wales.
Simon de Montford was the third Earl of Devan. He was to all outward appearances a sober man a product of his class that had made a career in the Army until the death of his father, yet appetences can be deceiving. Simon of course had retired from the service to take up his position as the Earl of Devan. As was the custom of the aristocracy he had married late in life to a much younger woman. They had two children a boy six and a daughter four. They of course would require a governess as the boy would not be sent to public school until he was eight.
Now the Matter of selecting a governess was a matter that required sober consideration. Her background must be from the right social class, her education formal, and there were other requirements as well among them that she have little or now relatives, and that she was calmly, demure, and rather attractive. With these qualities in mind he had contacted an employment agent. The agency had sent recommendations for several candidates, but subsequent interviews had not been fruitful. He sat behind his oaken desk reviewing the accounts of his estates, when he was interrupted by Batard his butler. “Your Lordship there is another young lady from the agency to see you.”
“Very well Batard show her in.”
De Montford tented his hands before his face and lowered his gaze to the papers on his desk. He wanted the young lady to be ill at ease, and to gage her reactions.
