Certain characters at the Court draw controversy around them like a shawl. Perhaps their hope is that if they are scandalous enough in public then what they do in the shadows will remain quiet; of perhaps they are just too boisterous for the wings, and naturally seek the centre-stage, only blooming under the effects of the limelight.

Clearly Raven1207 is one such creature; for the second time today he is the subject of Lady Pettigola’s mailbag. This time the change is minor larceny; an erstwhile host of his alleges that, after being treated to a fine dinner, Raven made his escape with a pair of elaborate silver candlesticks ensconces in his stately robes. One might think that such a lack of moral judgement is a disqualificatory characteristic, but given that the subject of discussion is the Court of the Doge, your correspondent is inclined to consider the affair borderline unremarkable.

Still, from my mailbox to yours, as always.

Lady Pettigola
