He is not, as far as we know, a seducer. I know, I rambled. She is from Antigua, and her father, before passing, left Mr Sidney Parker to be her legal guardian. Not nearly so much fun I think. All care toward making things accurate to the period was forfeited, and Charlotte, this common-folk visitor girl was allowed in every conversation and situation.
