Through the Postern Gate: A Romance in Seven Days

A gentle, sun‑dappled garden becomes the stage for a tender, off‑beat courtship. A modest young man, known only as “the Boy,” has spent two weeks watching Christabel Charteris pour tea and linger over the grace of her hands, his affection growing in secret. In a moment of sudden honesty he declares his love, asking for just seven days to prove his devotion.

The story is divided into a week‑long series of small, intimate episodes, each day offering a new chance for the suitor to win her heart. With witty, slightly awkward dialogue and a blend of genteel manners and earnest yearning, the narrative captures the charming uncertainty of early‑twentieth‑century romance. Listeners will be drawn into the delicate dance of proposals, misunderstandings, and the promise that a single week might be enough to change everything.
