Dearest Gentle Reader,
It has come to this author’s attention that whilst society concerns itself with soirées, scandals and suitors…
there exists a far more pressing matter.
Stress.
For what good is a promenade through life
if one’s shoulders are raised to one’s ears,
one’s jaw clenched tighter than a corset,
and one’s mind racing faster than a carriage at dawn?
Indeed, many a lady of this fine town finds herself quite overcome by the demands of modern society.
And so…
Might I suggest a most civilised remedy?
Massage
A treatment most restorative —
where tired feet and clenched jaws are tended to with care,
frazzled nervous systems are coaxed into calm,
and even the busiest of minds are invited to soften.
No tonics.
No dramatic declarations.
Merely skilled hands, quiet moments,
and the gentle art of allowing the body to rebalance.
Should you wish to secure one of the final March appointments,
I advise you not to delay…
For availability, much like a desirable Duke,
does not linger for long.
Yours in wellness,
Lady Kirsty Hutchuns
of The The Time to Be Co.
