Brightest Woman in Toston
A parable of social cleverness in a cosmopolitan afterlife tale. The narrator, Leston Lerald, recalls a woman deemed the brightest in Toston after a worldly suitor introduced her to society. Her wit rose and fell with a bevy of Parisian influences and a witty husband, sparking speculation on the origin of cleverness.
