Welcome, dear reader, to The Everly Papers. I am Lady Everly—your ever-so-gracious guide to the delightful absurdities of society, served with a healthy dose of wit and just a hint of scandal.

As one who has long observed the comings and goings of high society (and often made a note of them), I have come to the conclusion that the world could do with a little less self-seriousness and a great deal more humor. After all, what is society if not a stage for drama, a theatre of the ridiculous, and, occasionally, a magnificent opportunity for a well-timed retort?

Here at The Everly Papers, I bring you the finest observations, musings, and, dare I say, gossip from the halls of high society (disguised with just the right touch of Regency grace). Through weekly dispatches, satirical prose, and an occasional word of wisdom, I shall guide you through the follies of today’s world with a steady hand, a raised eyebrow, and, of course, a sharp quill at the ready.

Why, you may ask? Because it is a truth universally acknowledged that the best way to survive a world full of folly is with a bit of cleverness and a well-brewed cup of tea.

So, pour yourself a cup, settle in, and join me in what I like to think of as a much-needed retreat from the madness. After all, the more we laugh at it, the less likely it is to ruin our bonnets.

Yours ever faithfully in wit and wisdom,
Lady Everly
