The Cutting Gazette

A little sound makes the scandal better. Try the music box or the bell.

“People become quite senseless when they are envious.”

What it sounds like

Envy can make people lose their sense.

What it really means

“Sophie is supposedly jealous of Rosamund and irrationally tried to ruin her debut; Araminta frames the accusation as pity.”

Said today

“Poor you—you must be so jealous that you’re not thinking straight.”

What was happening

Rosamund claims Sophie hid her mask to spoil her debut, though it was found under her dressing table. Araminta backs Rosamund and uses false sympathy to make Sophie seem envious and unreasonable, then insists she apologize.
