The Musgrave Ritual

Author:: 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.

Very clever and entirely plausible.

Thanks. I was struck by the line: "wronged her, perhaps, far more than we suspected", and extrapolated from that.

Now that's an interesting place to go with MUSG! I like the kick at the end. Ouch. The inequities of the class system and the shame of family history are both illustrated very clearly here, in so few words. Nice work, indeed.

And don't apologize for getting behind. As long as you're posting, we're all happy. :)
