It was during the last of these appointments that he met an untimely end at the bottom of a well. Foul play was never proved, Lord Cox-Bramley's more industrious second son took his place in the line of succession, and everyone was satisfied.

A town-twinning arrangement that absolutely nobody cares about, not even the town councillors who performed the ritual. (From Böthen, a stereotypical name of a small village in Germany, and Hampton, the same in England.)
