CHATBOT: On the morn of November twelfth, the London streets were no less bustling and teeming with whispers of the scandalous rumour that had shaken the foundations of upper-class society. The Tippetall twins, Rosamund and Edmund, walked along the cobbled path, their eyes not betraying their newfound infamy that had befallen their family; no, for they were determined to maintain an air of all-embracing decency.
