Lady Bluefooted’s Society Papers Vol.1
It has come to the attention of this Mrs. Bluefooted that the Queen has selected a few new creatures from this current crop of femme fatales to be her standard bearers. One such mouse, Miss Freya Uki, is the youngest daughter of Uki. She was seen receiving the queen's blessing and dancing with a certain rabbit rake, a favorite of the court, among others. Many previous favored birds were unable to capture the queens favor this year causing a stir among the senior officer corps.
Will Miss Uki be the one to finally win his heart, or will he once again leave the season as the most eligible bachelor for the third year running?
One could only hope that newly promoted Captain Andrew Bell will finally settle down after his long tour as the leader of the scouts. After all, if anyone should be able to find their match, who better than a scout.
This Mouse could be the carrot of his eye, but Lady Bluefooted’s sources have indicated another rabbit, Miss Holly Bun, recently seen on a promenade with the good Captain. Miss Bun and Captain Bell would make a power couple between his holdings and whatever portion of the family estate she receives as dowry. Truly the two rabbits have something in the cards for us. After his truly meritorious service, any rabbit he picks must be exceptional.
Lieutenant Muk Chin-Hwa, coalition quartermaster, and Mr. Da Seung the idle boot baron have both been seen with chaperones in the presence of Miss Uki. This Lady has been told that the two were rivals during their academy days and that now they may have become rivals again. Inquiries into the aftermath of their time with Miss Uki have yielded frustratingly little results, once again the tip mail is open.

Madame Leng, modiste fantastique, longtime widow, and favorite of the court has been seen dancing with her dance partner of many years, Mister Francis Seafoam. Perhaps the occasion will finally give cause to the good Mister Seafoam to finally complete his years-long sewing project, otherwise, it may be time for him to give up his needles. If he cannot stitch himself to her after this long, then perhaps that is the right course of action.
Madame Oceanrunner, the underdog in this year's food contest for the three blast furnaces was recently seen at the annual food contest, giving out life advice to the vendors. This Lady believes that perhaps the mouse herself should bake some more sweet rolls before she calls a scone a scon. She inherited the blastfurnace and was able to keep it through this years contest.
Additionally, with the few foxes seeming to pair off into dating pairs during the first dance of the season, this year's hot item seems to be Lord Henry Richards, the irascible sword designer, and manufacturer. His thin rapiers are the talk of the fencing nobility and I’ve heard that they look as good as they perform in battle. He has been spotted more than once with Lady Abigail Smith, the newest fox debutante, and the Lady Bluefooted has put her eye on this couple as a possible match by the end of the season.
Finally, Lady Bluefooted would like to note that the Cobbler brothers are still both single and at large and that perhaps after this season, if no suitable match is found, they should aim a little lower. The Poor Lady Cobbler would do well to remind her sons that gaudy ties are not the way to a woman’s heart. Perhaps, they should take a lady to see some theatre, while it is in season.
Now to speak about the various bird and mole matches [article continues on the next page]
