Suggested by vermelld_queen
It all began with a honeymoon in the Caribbean. The 19th century is dawning, and two former privateers decide to reform their lives by creating the perfect, influential family in their perfect empire: Antoinette's Trick. Everything was going swimmingly until that day arrived. Where is the firstborn son who needs a wife right now? Well, they don't know, nor do their guests: those young ladies who longed to know the secret of a dandy whose family history was practically unbelievable. Now it's time to unravel this mess, relying only on the best possible precision, exaggerated proportions with a dash of rabble involvement, culture clashes, daring proposals, swashbuckling encounters... What more could one ask for? Or dream of? Satires period dramas of all types.
