Ice & Ichor
Pitch

Opening
Every summer felt more like an ending. Lydia and Kitty danced like mad, as though every party might be the last one. Mary begrudged every engagement that drew her away from her books. Jane spoke seriously of the future, but never for long; Lizzy turned jokes with white-knuckled mirth. Ichor flowed in the Merrytown speakeasy, and if not so pure as the booze in the cities, it had the benefit of being as plentiful, and in less risk of raids breaking up a roaring good time, seeing as how the good Constable Jones was more often than not at the centre of the party himself.
