Moonglow's masquerade season opened at the Lycaeum on an evening that produced one duel (concluded), one betrothal (contested), and the disappearance of the guest list itself — a document now more sought-after than anything in the reagent trade. The Gazette has obtained a copy. The Gazette is accepting offers.
Witnesses describe the night as “flawless until midnight,” at which point a gentleman whose name rhymes with several prominent families removed his mask to reveal a second mask. What lay beneath the second mask remains unknown; what is known is that two ladies fainted strategically, within clear view of eligible company, and that the orchestra played through all of it, professionals to the last.
The Governor's office declined to comment, which the Gazette prints as confirmation.
