THE CALENDAR
April 1811
 

CURRENT DATE & WEATHER
Thursday, April 11, 1811
Dry, cloudy but with a few snatches of blue sky to be seen. A brisk wind is blowing, keeping the temperature on the chilly side and threatening to steal ladies' bonnets.
 

OF THE MOMENT
CHARACTER

Blake Pritchard
Played by Lin
Darkly handsome with a biting wit, the Marquess of Emerson is notoriously marriage shy, which makes the bet he and his ward, Elise Hampton, especially delicious. The Pritchards are known for their stubborn streak, but Blake also has his French mother's passionate nature working against him. Only time will tell if this nobleman will lose his heart...and his horse.

PLAYER
Alex
A relatively new addition to the board, Alex has quickly integrated herself into the game so that it feels as though she's always been here. A wonderful writer, she's the mind behind Lord Foxford, his sister Lady Rosalind Fairmont, the Duke of Leighton, and his brother Lord William Gosling. Great members like Alex are one of the things that makes The London Life so enjoyable. Thank you for playing, Alex!
