I mean not to harm or offend anyone in this story. I have tried not to make any racial slurs in it but the story itself is set in an era where such slurs were common. I know I am possibly risking getting  foul comments by posting this story but I feel as if the historical factor needs to be known. Everything mentioned is based in the Victorian Era (1800) therefore all language will be alike what it was back then. Thank you.
