<p>Get into the stag, everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Join us as we commit Season 4 Part 2 to its final resting place and mark the passing of another year in the ton. </p><p><br /></p><p>With our black veils on, we’ll be dancing in honour of a beloved Scotsman, mourning the loss of a not-so-beloved Featherington and weeping at the graveside of our Vicus hope and dreams. </p><p><br /></p><p>And with our class-crossed lovers facing (mostly) insurmountable odds, we’ll be helping a thief in the night pack her bags for an escape to the Americas. If only we could find that pesky necklace… </p><p><br /></p><p>But with a jail break in hand and a maid running free, we’ll be gathering at the grandest night of the year to spin a fantastical tale about the love match of the season: Miss Sophie Gun and the brother to the Duke of Hastings. </p><p><br /></p><p>It’s been one hell of a year, dearest listeners.
