Quote of the Day:
“Whence have we Lead? It abounds most in England: the best mines are in Cornwall, Devonshire, Derbyshire, Northumberland, and Durham. Cumberland has a mine of the best black lead for pencils. This mineral is quite different from lead, and is called Plumbago.”
~ Mangnall’s Questions, 1830

Etiquette & Espionage: Finishing School Book 1
PICK YOUR VENDOR!
It’s one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It’s quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to Finishing School.
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper manners–and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine’s Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
Congrats and well deserved! Have fun at your programs this weekend! 🙂
