Current for the return of Team Xanadu to Amber.

One of the favorite ladies of the court has recently suffered a sudden illness. This column, like so many observers, wishes her a speedy recovery.

Another favorite lady of the court, and a very highly placed one, has been suffering from a different illness. Sources report that it may be of the type requiring an expansion of the castle’s nursery facilities. If that is the case, this column offers congratulations to the lady and her husband.

A lady of the Rebman court has been paying a great deal of attention to one of the Royal nephews of late. Although there were suspicions of a liaison with a different member of the Royal family at the coronation masquerade, the lady seems to have set her cap a little less ambitiously than originally assumed. Either that, or she assumes the other gentleman is extremely forgiving.

One of Amber’s favorite art patrons is again in dire financial straits. If he displayed half the passion for finances that he does for music, he’d be rolling in it. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

The Queen has, at last, formally named her ladies-in-waiting. High on the list were several Regency favorites, including Lady H———- and Lady S——-, and the King’s close female relatives, but conspicuously missing was a certain Regency social climber whose ambitions have finally been thwarted.

Rumor has it that one of the best-known courtesans at the Red Mill is preparing to buy out her contract, or for a gentleman to buy it out for her.

Behind the doors of one of Amber’s oldest social clubs, a revolt may be brewing. Expect some changes in the upper management of the club in question, as a group of younger members takes over from the old guard.

For a fourth week, this column can report that no firm suspect has been named for the murder that took place during the King’s coronation masquerade.
