Lady Mapleshire is quite the absurd woman. She has no husband, she lives with her younger sister, and she owns a house? How offensive! She is the author of many books set in the future, exploring topics like glowing paintings and "gender equality". Some think she's from the future. Men come to her house sometimes to scold her, and they usually dissapear and a new chicken appears in Lady Mapleshire's pen. Its probably just a concidence! #fgganything #victorian #historical #henfordonbagley
