Important
announcement from the Courier Editors
We'd like to take this
opportunity to introduce the newest columnist for Mohicanland's premiere
periodical - the wonderfully haughty, refreshingly no-nonsense, and
conveniently well connected Miss Cousin Eugenie. Cousin Eugenie, who has
graciously agreed to share her pearls of wisdom with the lower classes
that inhabit Mohicanland, has a bachelor's degree in fine art, which the
unidentified bachelor has allowed her to keep, and is an accomplished
graduate of a London finishing school where she specialized in the study
of witty applications of the feminine gifts and how best to manipulate them to
one's advantage.
Following an illustrious career as
Snob and Tea Hostess among London's rich and famous, Cousin
Eugenie sought a more meaningful purpose in life. After much
thoughtful deliberation, she decided to set sail for Boston. "I have always
desired to
teach tea etiquette and proper speech to the cabin trash of the
colonies," she said, "so I joined the Teas Corp. My interest in
wretched colonials is somewhat philanthropic, somewhat Pygmalion. You know, let's
offer them crumpets and see if they can
learn to be civilized. It's not only rewarding, but great fun!"
When not canoe-cruising or practicing charity
in Mohicanland, Cousin Eugenie resides in Boston where she must suffer the presence of
such ill-bred men as Samuel Adams and Thomas Paine. "It's rather
revolting but I get on
alright. I just remind myself that they are a breed apart and that
comforts me." Learn the preferred ways of the Yangeese and hear
delightful secrets of the Munro family. As Cousin Eugenie says,
"That's the way of it!" |
