It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Winston Rutherford III, the wealthiest landowner in all of Hertfordshire, as well as completely unattached, should have fit this universal truth quite splendidly.
It was not that he was unopposed to the idea of marriage at all. It is just really hard to be taken seriously when you claim there is a little green floating man following you around that only you can see. Most women feel they can do better than Mr. Rutherford and the Great Gazoo.
Brief Conceits will be moving off of Blogger onto a WordPress-powered site. The transition will happen later this week. The web address will remain the same, and if you are subscribed to the RSS that should remain the same as well. Thank you!
