January 25th, 1892 — Dempsey Estate Ireland

'Can you believe it!' Belle exclaimed loudly and dramatically entering the library of the family home - the paper in hand.  Her father having passed it over to her after Breakfast.  'The muggle Primeminister Gladstone and his liberals are going to try and bring about home rule for Ireland!', with a dramatic flair she slapped the paper  the Dublin edition of The muggle Times newspaper onto the table, its headline and Gladstone's grim face staring up at them. 

The brunette in her neat blue gingham day dress and her hair neatly arranged by the senior house maid ministrations, flopped down on one of the equisite couches in the main drawing room, taking a spot near the windows, that overlooked the houses palatial lawns and the woods beyond.  Her usual seat. 

'A muggle Parliment sitting in Dublin!' she exclaimed, her voice taking on a dreamy and far away tone, as though announcing Santa Clause was coming tomorrow or a knight in shining army coming to whisk her away.  'Wouldn't that be exciting! - MP's from Ireland, sitting in an Irish Parliment - perhaps Papa should go out for it, if it passes!'
