Strangellous McMorbidly
Oldest son to Squire Drummel and Lady Hopelyss. He was the pride and joy of his grandfather Judge Malleous. He provided condemned prisoners their choice of final neckwear, custom made to their size and supplied from his own shop. He was also quite the suave ladies’ man. No one ever saw those ladies again of course. There is now a present-day mystery as I have uncovered several gentlemen’s dress accessory companies with product names tying back to this deranged maker of menacing neckwear. One company’s motto: “You’ll leave them breathless in a Strangellous EZ Knot Necktie.” Could this eldest son have survived the burning of his home a century and a half ago?
