Once upon a time there lived a Young noble man, let’s call him lord something-or-other, who was the earl of the village. He lived in a big house, or rather a castle, which he had inherited with a large fortune. As Jane Austen would say, he was in want of a wife, but let’s start explaining this in detail. This young lord was incredibly handsome and charming, he had a smile that... ok, he was very much like Dan Stevens in Downton Abbey, but his marriages wouldn’t last long, and there laid his secret. Like a Dorian Gray of sorts this man never aged, although he didn’t have a portrait to age for him, no, he had wives; a new wife every ten years or so, and he sucked the life of them, like a vampire but without all the inconveniences of being a vampire, plus he ate and breathed like every other man. Every time one of his wives (of course one at a time, polygamy is illegal) went old before her time he gave her a big sum of money and let her go. That’s scary you would think, but he was irresistible, I mean, he was Dan Stevens in Downton Abbey! No woman would dare say no, and they didn’t want to, beside memories fail and as soon as the “old” wife was sent away, they’d forget her. Years and wives came and went... until one time he wanted to marry one particular maid who was in love with someone else, and when he proposed she said NO. The lad tried to persuade her, gave her reasons as wealth, houses, horses and cats (who can resist cats?), but the answer was NO everytime. You would suppose he would abduct her or force her, but he didn’t, he was really charming... like Dan Stevens... you know how it goes. Matthew Crawley wouldn’t do it.
From the moment she said her final NO he closed the doors of his castle and refused to see anyone ever again. He never took another wife, he became old and bitter... some say he died, I don’t know. I think he’s still there, flesh and bone or ghost, we’ll never know.
By the way, the girl got rejected by her loved one and after a few weeks in tears she moved on and started over somewhere else.

As evening settles over 17th Street NW near R Street in Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle, the city’s character shines in warm light and bold colors. These historic red-brick rowhouses—some with turrets, bay windows, and cornices—have been lovingly restored and now host independent businesses, from Julia’s Empanadas to neighborhood cafes and services. A softly glowing pharmacy sign, twinkling interior lights, and a covered outdoor dining area create a cozy urban rhythm.
The turreted red building near the corner captures the eye, not only for its architecture but as a symbol of this area’s vibrancy and cultural richness. A U-Haul trailer on the side hints at the constant ebb and flow of city life, while a rainbow pride flag and painted crosswalk reflect the neighborhood’s deep ties to LGBTQ+ visibility and inclusion. Leafless trees frame the block, and bike lanes and pedestrian signage show off D.C.’s commitment to walkability and urban design.
This photo celebrates the intersection of history and modernity: 19th-century buildings reimagined for 21st-century life, a community that embraces change while honoring its roots. Whether stopping by for empanadas, gathering for conversation under heated lamps, or simply strolling home, this block glows with the quiet joy of everyday city life.
