The Winstringhams
The castle Hedresham
The grandchildren
The Friday balls
The Wingstringham-Dalingridge ball
Helewise's realisation
The grandchildren
Everything started out fine: each family stayed in their sweets and every morning the grandchildren would meet.
Sometimes they would play, other times they would sing and practice dancing but most of the time they argued.

Two opposing teams would then be created: all the girls against Edwin and Jocelin. Lawrence rarely picked sides fearful to pain someone. If the fight got out of hand he would tell his parents to the anger of his brother and cousins.

Lawrence and Helewise were very close, she was only two years older than him but she hated when he acted so innocent and pure.
She was the only child of the stranger,  after all she was a Strangewayes. It was hard for her to feel at ease, she'd grown up with different views on the world and a whole other education.

Lawrence was the ideal for everyone, until he showed what was considered a sin: feminism. The Wingstringham being a very traditional family would never accept someone with such flaw. Silvestre considered him as a disappointment, all he could've done was washed out by some foolish feelings for the wrong gender.

Silvestre had divided opinions about Edwin, his curiosity would reinforce their bond however when he spent time with Jocelin it was as tough he were a completely different person.

His younger sisters were very different even though they were twins. Millicent was a cheeky little one but her beauty made it all right.
However her younger sister Philippa was nor pretty nor nice which made her the most hateful of all grandchildren. No one truly enjoyed spending time with her or even talking to her. She had no real talent and excelled in nothing, her parents and close friends told her what she wanted to hear which gave her an excruciating ego.

So who really was Silvestre Wingstringham's favorite grandchild?   Well, Silvestre himself didn't even know...
