Catch up post for MUSG. Getting further and further behind, sorry folks!

The Musgrave Ritual

Author:: [livejournal.com profile] tweedisgood

Inheritance

G



From father to son, inheritance: a ritual; a treasure; a great and ancient house; a seat in Parliament.

Another father, another son: myself. Talents aplenty, but why should I be given the meanest field for their exercise?

Musgrave's mother was an earl's daughter; mine, a Welsh housemaid. His father died honoured, in bed; mine, a thief in his master's cellar.

Note: If you think I might be being a bit unfair to Woking: in my defence, I grew up there. It's a dump.



A mean railway town; bare heath whose only fruits are the overblown red-brick villas of the nouveaux riches.

A mean little crime to go withal. Money before affection; a lie wearing a smiling brother's face.

Miss Harrison, however - a stout heart and a valiant. Lucky Mr Percy Phelps, to find the inner strength he lacks amid those prizes and preferments.
