Duchess Hit & Run!

I was standing in the skating pond when Gryffin appeared and offered me a ride on his flaming flying piano. Yes, that is me in the billowing skirts, as we flew over the Northern sims. We got as far as Wellsian before a "forced" landing...I suggested taking a ride in the mining car as I had not done so before. It operates itself, and does so at a breakneck speed! As I held on for dear life, I caught a glimpse of the Duchess Primverness walking a bit too close to the tracks on a curve. We heard a sickening thump and an "Aaiieeeee! The pain!!" as we whizzed by! Oh no! I believe we ran over the Duchess! I swear it was an accident! She was gone by the time we made a return trip and to my credit, I did send her cupcakes, hoping they would aid in her recuperation...
We continued wandering the Northern sims, exploring the new sims of Brigadoon and Cape Wrath. I always find the first houses in a sim very interesting, although we all know the new owners will take them down almost immediately...
