Submitted by a Russian columnist in a prominent fashion magazineInternational gossip mongers were shocked earlier this week when it was revealed that the Lady Jessica was spotted in Austrian occupied Venezia earlier this week in the company of a man who looked not unlike the Archduke Ferdinand. The Lady Jessica is the wife of High Admiral A-ron of His Majesty's Navy, and is widely believed to be descended from Mary, Queen of Scots. Her marriage to the High Admiral shocked many in the upper echelons of English society last summer, as many felt that this English rose married beneath her station. Her arrival in Venezia coincides with Venitian Fashion Week, and the Lady Jessica is well-known throughout Europe as one of the most fashionable women in England.
When queried about her presence in a foreign country during a time of war, the Lady Jessica smiled and replied, "But darling, even if the war ended next week, Venetian Fashion Week is still only happening right now. International diplomacy means nothing if I don't have the best dresses for next season."
The man who might be Ferdinand proceeded to accompany the Lady Jessica to several of the week's shows and to several of the designers' ateliers. Shopowners throughout Venezia noted that the Lady's companion was unusually stoic for a man on a wardrobe expedition, and restrained his eyerolling to only those moments when the Lady Jessica was in other rooms.
It is believed that the Lady Jessica purchases several new dresses in anticipation of the upcoming season.
