Lord Lister No. 0009: Om goud en liefde

In the glow of an autumn evening, the guests of Lord Clifford's grand hall gather after a hunt, only for the atmosphere to shift when a striking young woman, Miss Florence, meets the enigmatic Marquis di São Balbo. Their conversation crackles with uneasy familiarity, hinting at past encounters and a tangled web of obligations that bind them. The hall, ornate and seemingly empty, becomes the stage for a delicate dance of pride, longing, and hidden sorrow.

As the evening unfolds, the Marquis offers a tender, almost desperate promise to ease her grief, while Miss Florence wrestles with doubts about his true intentions. Their exchange reveals a veil of aristocratic intrigue, where honor, family legacy, and unspoken desires intersect. Listeners are drawn into a world of sumptuous estates, whispered confidences, and the fragile hope that love might blossom amidst the shadows of duty.
