🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.

The Antiqua family was considered odd among the London set for three primary reasons: their uniformly red hair, their preference for books and riding over the elegant parties of the ton, and the unusual distinction of four unwed daughters of marriageable age. Idalia, Isodel, Lydda, and Gwynyth had all been ‘on the marriage market’ for several years, each debuting at court when they turned twenty-one--yet all four of them remained noticeably unattached, preferring the company of each other to any of the young socialites roving the balls in search of a wife. The viscount and his wife had regularly commented that each of their daughters was a blessing, and hoped they would wed happily, blandly daring any of the gossipping mamas to argue with the notion that any child, boy or girl, deserved anything less than to be loved.

Of course, the ease with which the Antiquas brushed aside convention owed a great deal to the existence of their youngest and only son. By the time Liefred was born, Navar and Theria had the household well under control, save perhaps for explosions of temper--he had been almost completely free to explore whatever interests caught his eye. Much like the rest of his family, he inherited a passion for reading, a penchant for history, and a love of country rides at their sunlit estate at Stroud. Unlike his sisters, however, he had the ability to pursue his studies through university and travel abroad, save for the somewhat unfortunate necessity of returning to Albion every spring for the court season.
