I live in a remote castle in Cornwall, how can I attract a lovely young wife?
-From a Lonely Bachelor:
Ah, yes, the age-old dilemma—how does one meet a nice, suitable mate? It’s especially difficult if one lives in a remote location where eligible partis are thin on the ground. You may need to visit London during the Season, or at least turn to relatives who may know of single young ladies who would suit. In one respect, you are in luck—you possess a castle in Cornwall. Haunted, no doubt, with a dramatic vista down to the crashing sea. Well, horrid novels are all the rage this Season (as they were last Season, and the Season before that), so many young ladies are looking for just such an abode to have for their own. Such a thing happened to my dear friends Lord and Lady Royce, when Lord Royce was a lonely bachelor such as yourself and Lady Royce was Miss Cassandra Richards, fresh from the West Indies. They are now happily ensconced in their own Cornish castle, with three children and numerous ghosts. (A Loving Spirit)
