EXTRACT SEVEN
From Steven Neil, the author of THE MEREST LOSS
A story of love and political intrigue, set against the backdrop of the English hunting shires and the streets of Victorian London and post-revolutionary Paris.
A Hint of Things to Come
No doubt the reader is looking for some clue as to which way the story will go, at this point in the novel. No certainty yet, but in chapter thirty of The Merest Loss a strong hint is delivered.
Chapter Thirty
Last Chance
Wroughton, England
Paris and La Celle-Saint-Cloud, France
1863
And so it is that at noon, on Friday the fifth of June 1863, Harriet Howard, Melliora Findon, Lavinia Lampard, and Princess Mathilde present themselves at Vefour restaurant on the rue de Beaujolais, beside the Palais Royal in Paris and order a jeroboam of champagne. They are all attractive women, around their fortieth year, but there the similarity ends. Mathilde wears the most extraordinary purple and white striped, half-domed, crinoline dress, with a French lace shawl. It is an awkward construction and it takes the assistance of two waiters to arrange her at the table. Beside her, Lavinia���s black, mourning dress in the style of Queen Victoria, and Mellie���s beige, tunic dress, merge quietly into the plum-velvet banquette. Harriet���s fuchsia-pink, crinoline dress, in other circumstances strikingly bright, looks a model of restraint beside Mathilde. Suffice to say that the four women make an impression. Even Vefour, all gilded mirrors, chandeliers, inlaid carvings, gold ceilings, and painted neo-classical panels, seems muted in comparison. It is fair to say that the afternoon goes downhill rather swiftly and four hours and three more jeroboams later, the ladies, now the only diners - if that is the right word - left in the restaurant, are in philosophical mood.
The conversation moves through various subjects, but the condition of the male of the human species is the one to which they return. Mathilde, who betrays a certain disdain for the men in her life, of which there have been many, is moved to announce that ���men can never be trusted.���
���I think that may be too sweeping,��� says Lavinia. ���My dear husband was always as good as his word. He possessed many positive qualities.���
���I am happy to hear it. What would you say was his best quality?���
���He was a very kind man. I think that is a characteristic often overlooked.���
���Indeed, but what about passion? Surely a relationship cannot survive on kindness.���
���I think it survives very well. Passion is fleeting and capricious. I would never trust passion if that was all there was between a man and a woman.���
���Perhaps that is where I am going wrong. What about you Harriet: kindness or passion. What would you have?���
���I aspire to both.���
���Nicely said. And you Mellie. You are quiet on the matter.���
���I speak little because I know so little. Men are not my specialist subject. I am happy to listen and learn.���
Melliora���s reply slows Mathilde for a while: she is not sure what to make of it. However, she is soon back on track.
���Harriet, let us not skirt around the subject any longer. Is it true you will be reconciled with Jem Mason at last?���
Lavinia and Mellie sit forward and rest their chins on their forearms as if choreographed by an unseen director, their eyes fixed on Harriet.
���And what does Jem Mason have to commend him, after all these years?��� adds Mathilde.
���He was the first man I cared about and that emotion never left me. He was always his own man. I admired his independence. He put into words what I felt, about making my own way in life, when I was a young girl. That stayed with me.���
���When will the great romance be reinstated?���
���There are some small obstacles to be overcome. I will tell you all about it when I can. I think it really will be our last chance, but we are determined not to fail this time.���
���How marvellous. I can hardly wait.���

Excerpt from Fairytale Birthday
The Good Gnome joked, ���Next month, you���ll be one-thousand years old, and I don���t believe you look a day over two hundred.���
The Good Fairy gave him a scowl. ���I���m not amused. Hope you���re working hard on a surprise, and it better be a good one.���
He retorted, ���You���ll have to wait and see...won���t you!���
���������
The birthday committee met in secret at the Treasure Fairy���s castle. The Good Gnome, even though he was the smallest person present at only ten inches tall, opened the discussion. ���I���ll be in charge of the entertainment. I���ve pulled together an orchestra made up from the animals that live in and around the forest. We���ll be rehearsing in a meadow, deep in the heart of the Dark Forest, and close to the bubbling brook. They���re really good. You���re going to be amazed.
���Treasure Fairy, how���s the cake coming on?���
���It���ll be ready. It���s going to be a rich black forest gateau with extra cherries and whipped cream on the side������
The Tooth Fairy, who was the youngest, and a couple of inches shorter than her sister fairy, interrupted, ���What���s my job?���
���Your job is to keep the Good Fairy busy while we do all the work. When the time arrives, find a pretense to bring her to the meadow without telling her it���s for a surprise birthday party. That���s the most important job. If she���s not astounded, all this work is for nothing.���
���My job���s important?���
���Yes, it is.���
The Tooth Fairy started to play with her necklace made from baby teeth, wrapping it around her fingers and smiling with pleasure. I���ve finally got a key role to play...no longer the junior partner.
The Treasure Fairy asked, ���What about the Wicked Witch? She���s sure to find out, especially as she has that magic cauldron. I bet she���s watching us right now.���
