13. Benedict and Sophie’s Bogus Adventure

Sophie [f25] is now happily married to Benedict [m33], living in the country and apparently bored, because she keeps playing matchmaker for her half-sister Posy [f25]. This time, Sophie has set her sights on the new vicar, Hugh [m, age unknown but in possession of all his hair], and invited him for tea. However, tea is not drunk, sandwiches are not tasted, and roses are very scandalised.

This week, Lady Danbury hears from Jolene, the heroine of Mimi Grace’s Along for the Ride, a contemporary romance about why you should never offer to help anyone move - you might end up on a road trip with a very hot, but very insufferable passenger. You can find more information about Along for the Ride and buy links here.
