HelpAri's Murder Mystery CAF #3
THE HOST Lord August Wulfstan Hastings, 7th Earl of Ashbourne Amoret
Lady _______ Hastings , Lord August's wife, will be our hostess for the evening. Poised, elegant, with head-spinning charm and a sharp, mischievous smile, she seems nearly as devoted to her husband as she is to the garden surrounding The Nightingale's Nest. Though the shocking revelation at dinner (as suggested by Ohad Yigal) that he owned the largest opium company in colonial India, selling it to China and creating generations of opium eaters, might sway her affections...
Lord August - a paragon of tradition - insists nothing be changed about the house he inherited from his dear grandfather, and fussed even over the addition of his and _______ 's wedding portrait being hanged among the likenesses of his ancestors, but his wife has free rein of the gardens. And what wonders she has accomplished there!
There is the French garden, trim and manicured. There is the English garden - artfully unruly. There is the hedge maze, with a statue of Janus commissioned by Lady _______ in the middle. Most saliently, perhaps, there is the poisonous greenhouse, whose visitors are instructed always to wear gloves - this is where Lady _______ grows an arsenal of poisonous and venomous plants. She gave all the visitors a tour before dinner - anyone could have slipped in and cut some leaves of foxglove. Is it just me, or does the soup have a bitter aftertaste?
Lady _______ _______ Hastings
First name: means "white", "fair", "pale", or "blond".
Middle name: Germanic (https://www.behindthename.com/names/gender/feminine/usage/germanic).
BONUS: (optional, just for fun - I may or may not take inspiration): Why, in particular, is Lady _______ so shocked and offended by the revelation that her husband, Lord August Hastings, owned an opium company in colonial India?
