The Golden Charm

From abandonment and kidnap,

To the London social scene,

Eve… a child of hidden talents

,Grows into Evangeline.

In the early 1850’s

‘Ones good name’ is everything,

Gossip of a well-known scandal

Carries with it quite a sting.

That ‘sting’ will taint Evangeline,

If the truth remains unknown,

Any hope of marriage prospects

Will sink… like the fabled stone.

And that scandal also marks her

As a villain’s easy prey,

Will her foresight save her virtue?

Or will evil get its way?
