Drabble Challenge
A Morning with The Matriarch
Been a while getting to walk up the great drabble street. If you’re new here, a drabble is a story of 100 words. Take your tie looking around. Remember to drop a comment to let me know what you think of the story. Enjoy!

Twister: First sentence is, “I’m not going to the reading of the will…”

His mother, the dowager countess, didn’t blink once. She folded the paper she’d been reading and laid it down.
“Fine,” she hissed, burning him with a look. “And when you meet your father in hell, ask him why I deserved the stupidity of two Fitzroy men in one lifetime!”
With that, she rapidly gathered her voluminous skirts and left.
