Family Affairs

My sister has again crossed my boundaries, said information was passed onto me from the angular creature that works for Caspar, her thin lips barely contained her glee as she dripped her news convinced her sarcasm was a form of wit. I cultivated this creature so that I could keep an eye upon his various relationships but unfortunately she was not bought by bauble or tip, her avarice was being in the inner sanctum of my bed. Caspar’s tastes were as indiscriminating as his client’s taste in designs and he would bed anything that came his way, male or female, but I wondered if he ever dared to risk the sharp planes of this creature. His seductions were often a source of great amusement to me as I became aware of one instance where he slept with both the husband and the wife of a function he was designing.

My sister had for some obscure reason decided to visit minxie at her place of work. Caspar was not on the premises—either by design or coincidence, I take it as design and believe Caspar is never as obtuse as he leads others to believe. Her visit displeased me greatly as both of them are aware I was not accepting any interference in my plans for minxie.

Liselle, again only to confound me, had come to offer my precious advice about dealing with me and I would have ensured she had felt the full vent of my fury however it appears she advocated immediate surrender. I am not devoid of intelligence and I realise she did this out of some misplaced concern, or perhaps because she saw something of herself in minxie at that young age when she had dreams of a life with the baron.

Of course her life was rudely interrupted by me when I informed our father that she was dallying with some inferior being from the town, not that the baron’s family were hoi polloi but they were not of Dubois ilk. This was my revenge for my sister abandoning me for some muscular college boy for there was a time when she was mine to dally with and I never learned to share. It was many years ago when I had last felt the pangs of emotional concerns and I have amused myself since by destroying the relationships around me as I desire. It pleases me that the fear of Gervais has been thoroughly instilled in my darling and she is just as I wish her to be, mine for the taking
