Potential Weakness

Miss Linda's delight at being applauded for possessing a powerful husband was evident for all to see. 

She was extremely proud of the huge fish she had managed to catch, especially given that the fish was oh so much larger than she could have ever imagined.

How could she have ever known she would manage to snag such a prize on that particular afternoon?

The tale of how Miss Linda had managed to seduce Parker Heeat was an interesting one.

It was on one inconspicuous afternoon, after learning of the Heeat family's delegation arrival in Caira that Miss Linda had decided to lay in ambush in one of the regular paths the visiting young lord was known to frequent, where she hoped to catch her prey.

At that time, she of course did not know of her future husband's identity and was only fishing, trying to land any man who could help her escape this sinking ship.

The fact that the Margraves were not doing well was clear for all to see.
