When the Quinceys settle in Rushmore Park, near the village of Redding, much commotion emerges from many families neighbouring them. Each has a daughter to marry, and despite a want of great fortune, they all are exceedingly accomplished, and speculation begins as to whom might be the lucky one to win Edward Quincey's heart (and his fortune).
His sister, Miss Magali Quincey, observes discreetly from a distance, match-making and dissuading any imprudent associations until she meets the new vicar of Redding: young, well-bred and ambitious.

(ADOPTED) 𝚆𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚕𝚞𝚜𝚝 - After the End ASOUE FanFic
(Adopted by @UniversallyStolen / Callie) Dear reader, If you are here to mourn the sad cliffhanger in the Baudelaire orphans' lives and the separation of the Baudelaires and the Quagmires, you are in the wrong place. I am here to tell you what happened after the Baudelaires and Beatrice II set sail for Briny Beach. I cannot tell you much but it involves an unexpected encounter with a lost relative, a man with hair but no beard and woman with a beard and no hair (or vice versa) and of course, the search for the stolen sugar bowl Wanderlust is a word which here means "a lust for wandering;" but if you have read the exceedingly long novel of Leo Tolstoy entitled 'Anna Karenina' then you know that a rural life of moral simplicity, despite its monotony, is the preferable personal narrative to a daring life of impulsive passion, which only AND always leads to tragedy. If anyone asks you "Is a safe life really enough?" Take my advice. Look away from this sad tale. And answer yes to the person who asked you. Ships are: Klaus x Isadora Duncan x Violet (dont really ship this but the story wont make sense) Quigley x ??? Some mild swearing. All characters except for Sophie belongs to Lemony Snicket. 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱: april 15th 2020 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝗱: october 10th 2020 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱: nov 17. 2020Complete
