[One]
It happened that, in the town of Twitterton, there was a family by the name of Angelyne. They were a father, whose given name was Charles but who only answered to the deplorable Chuck, a mother, Addam, who was as kind as she was gentle, and a pair of siblings.
Michael was the son, and the eldest. He was tall and handsome, and quite popular in the ton. It had been rumored at one time that his father would allow him to join the service, but this never came to pass. What the local gossips were sure of, however, was that Michael Angelyne had been raised all of his life to take on the care and upkeep of the family estate, which was named Kansa-by-the-Sands, though nearly everyone referred to it as the Kansan.
The younger brother had not inherited the elder's serious and thoughtful disposition. Castiel, called Cassy, was thought to be flighty by his mother, and incorrigible by his father. His precocious nature was notorious and he was often on the very brink of scandal. His brother knew that he meant well, however, and was always there to smooth the way for his younger sibling. After all, he was nearly eighteen, and was expected to make his debut at the beginning of the season, which was days away. It was hoped that the series of social gatherings in the ton would procure at least a few marriage prospects for the wild young Cassy.
And so life was idyllic, all in all, for the Angelyne family, until one day Mr. Chuck Angelyne came storming into the breakfast room, his face quite red, and threw the weekly pile of letters upon the table.
"What is it, sir?" Michael was taken aback, for his father rarely lost his temper, and never in front of their mother. He was even more distressed when his father said not a word, but only passed one of the letters to him.
Cassy watched his brother as his face fell, and knew immediately that something terrible was afoot. "Mikey?" said he. "What's going on?"
"We have been disenfranchised," Mr. Chuck said furiously. His wife laid a pale, cool hand upon his shaking arm, and he collapsed into his customary chair at the head of the table. "We are ruined!"
"Surely it cannot be as bad as that," said Mrs. Adam.
"It is, Mother." Michael's expression was drawn, and he felt a chill of dread run up his spine beneath his morning jacket. "There is an entailment upon the estate, and I...I am ineligible to inherit!"
