EVALYN WILLIAMS FLEES RUMORS OF SCANDAL |
The name Evalyn Williams is no doubt unfamiliar to many of the Prophet readers; those who do know of her probably have heard her name spoken of in relation to the recent Dueling Tournament, as this apparently perfectly average and perfectly respectable middle-class woman was able to advance quite high in the tournament. Apparently, her proficiency for spellwork is not the only thing seemingly unremarkable Miss Williams has been hiding. When asked about her occupation during the duels Miss Williams stated that she was a florist, with little hope to marry, due to her somewhat advanced age of twenty-four. Upon further investigation, her age may have been the only true statement; Miss Williams has never been a florist, at least as far as this reporter can tell. The scandal--which I'm sure you have been waiting for--comes from Miss Williams' apparent association with the character of a Miss Rose Ashcroft, a self-proclaimed "scandalist extraordinaire." An anonymous source stated that Miss Ashcroft's services involve spying, blackmail, and, in some cases, crimes such as forgery, trespassing, or theft. Miss Ashcroft "uncovers dark secrets and then shares them for a price," the source said; "If there are no secrets to be found, she invents them." Although not stated explicitly, our source implied that Miss Ashcroft would even at times resort to _____________________________________________________________ | seduction in order to create a blackmail-worthy scandal around a given man. The source also stated that Miss Williams, whom we now know has lied about her occupation and details of her life, may have some connection to the enigmatic Miss Ashcroft. Unfortunately, before more could be discovered, Miss Williams, apparently catching news of the investigation, immediately took off for a trip abroad, to an undisclosed location and for an indetermined amount of time. Miss Williams did not comment in person but had a note left at her small apartment (where she apparently lived quite alone) stating that her health had recently taken a turn for the worst, and that she was seeking solace in a more temperate climate. It seems obvious that her health was not the primary concern, here, but rather the budding news of possible scandal; as such, with her sudden absence, it is unclear how deep her connection lies to this Miss Ashcroft figure, or if the connection is really there, though Miss Williams' sudden departure seems quite telling. Community members are warned to keep an eye out for any news of this Miss Ashcroft; she is likely still among us, practicing her malicious art. Anyone with news as to her whereabouts or goings-on is encouraged to contact Yente Ventus at the Daily Prophet, so that we can pin down this malice more fully.
