The Time: Manchester, England. 1884. The Place: Manchester, England. The Year: 1884. Who is this man? And why do you fear him? He is Edwund Fistchwitch. He is a swine and a cuckold. He eats mutton for breakfast and swills wine all day long. He was once a promising baritone for the London Swing Chorus but his buffoonery and callousness got him expelled from the chorus. Now he tends bar at a local pub called, “The Slug & Berry.” He carries a switch with him at all times and wields his switch whenever he please. Be ye an orpan?! He will give ye lashes with his switch! Be ye an hobo? He will give ye lashes with his switch! Why? Because he’s a callous and unfeeling human with a piece of black coal where his heart once was. A lady took it from him. Her name? Lady Wendellia Winderhinder of Kentingtonington. She is the daughter of Ivo King of Danemark!
