AS - Stefano Giovanni (7)While taking in the seaside air in Palermo, Italy Hattie fell madly in love with the caretaker of the property she had rented. Not only was it reciprocated, but Nate fit in wonderfully with his four children, being right around the same age as the middle ones. As summer drew to a close she couldn't bear the thought of being parted from the fellow widower, and so asked him to marry her and move back to England with them. Cesare accepted quite happily, and though his children were upset to be moving away from everything they had ever known they came along anyway, despite offers of an embroidery apprenticeship for Marcella and for the rest to stay with various family members.
The shock that echoed through 'proper' society when Lady Elliston returned from abroad with a foreign husband and four adopted children still makes the new blended family chuckle on occasion.

Her parents had given her the choice to get married or not. Strangely enough, her new fiancé was not high class...he is a mere Italian farmer, and even while many people gossiped and "tsk-tsked" whenever they saw the pair together, they had fallen in love anyway and stayed together. They have planned to get married in a few months, and the whole family celebrates with a party. Everyone shows up, but only because they had to.

Following Mark's death Philip shut down everyone even more then before and he rarely talks to his family lost in his other world that is in books. At the age of five Henry could barely understand what was happening around him, but he understood that daddy is not coming back. Within the next year Jemima remarried to Idris Pritchard a childless widower factory worker. He is a good man and especially Henry took a great liking in him.

Yet one man has not been driven away by the scandal. His friendship has offered great comfort to Eliza in her time of trial - more than comfort, it turns out, as she and Iestyn have recently announced their engagement.Marianne and Roderick have now married, and happily welcomed twin daughters. The sons of the family, however, remain single - Anthony has yet to find anyone who will catch his eye, and Simon seems to have someone new catch his eye every few weeks, but it never lasts.
---Two requests, if I may?
Could you continue to link to the number generator?
And could you continue to have English namebanks? I went back to ladt round for this because I don't want kids from the earlier couples to suddenly have Italian names, but that isn't so sustainable.
But it's your game, so feel free to brush these off.

Deborah and Agostino
It's 1872, and another tragedy has befallen the Lacey family in the last five years. Just when they were beginning to heal from the death of Owen, Agatha passes away in her sleep at only 4. No one is sure what caused her death, and Simon and Deborah are convinced it was somehow their fault. Owen's death has taught Simon not to retreat into himself, and he spends most his time at home with Kitty, Phoebe, and Henry. While they sleep, he begins work on something he hopes will lift them out of their bad financial situation - a children's book called The Adventures of Sir Birdwhistle, dedicated to Owen and Agatha. Deborah copes in a different way - she takes on a paramour. A rich man she does laundry for, Agostino DaCorte, took pity on her and began inviting her in. It was never her intention to cheat, but Agostino makes her feel safe. She can pretend she lives a different life, with a rich husband, no job, and all her children. Four years later, she still isn't willing to let go. Agostino loves her, Deborah loves Simon, and she doesn't know if she loves Agostino or loves the man she imagines he is.

The Honorable Amy Edwards [12]Sally and Edmund have been blessed with two beautiful daughters, Frances (after Frances, may she rest in peace) and Rebecca (after Edmund's mother, may she rest in peace). Owen and Amy love their nieces and Harry and Peggy adore their granddaughters. Around the time of Frances' birth, however, Edmund took a mistress, his Welsh secretary, Llinos Jones. All of Sally's family is unaware of this relationship, but Frances has noticed her father returning home later than he should smelling like roses, while her mother's perfume smells like lilacs. Of course, she pays it no mind. She IS only four, after all. It seems as if Owen and Amy's first impression of Edmund was closer to the truth than the others thought...
