Dearest Gentle Reader, It has come to this author’s attention that a few truly prized treasures remain in my possession, though I suspect they shall not for long. One must make haste, for this is the final opportunity to secure such fineries! Pray, get lost in the very world where I, your faithful solicitor of gossip, reside. The first novel of our chronicles awaits to transport you to the heart of Mayfair. While you indulge, cozy up with this exquisite, soft blanket. Do take care not to spill any tea upon it—at least, not the liquid variety. Should your thoughts become a burden, or should you wish to emulate the brilliance this author has so proven, try your quill at this one-of-a-kind faux leather journal. Finally, I have included a faux undated planner, so you might prepare for my next edition and any scandals that unfold at the next ball. A lady must always be prepared for a surprise. Yours Truly, Lady Whistledown
