Clearly, it's about cats that invent the art of Tennis.
-- I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien

Something tells me I shouldn't tank my connection to the Duchess anytime soon.

Obviously, it's about Cats playing Tennis with Sigmund Freud and Dr. Watson. Oh wait, my mistake. A thousand pardons.

Really looking forward to it! I have yet to do this month's story, but I should get to it soon. Too bad I won't be able to get my exceptional friendship back until mid-june

Right now I'm picturing cats having a legal battle, and it's just adorable. I doubt that's what the story is about, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.

More cats is always a good thing. Unless you're a dog person. I've always adored how FL pictured and written its cats, those little cute secret keepers. Will we judge a cat offender? "Court" does ring a legal bell to me, and it's a great idea, I think! The court hereby sentences you... to death by starveling cat!

Is the court: The royal court? (Most obvious, but I'm pro-Duchess so this is my vote) A tennis court? Or another British sport arena? (the only thing I can think of is basketball, which seems unlikely for many reasons) A court of law? (Adorable and not implausible) A romantic tale of a cat being courted? (Probably not) Cats courting attention? (Very out of character)
So many options...

Could be a croquet court. The conversion of croquet clubs to tennis took place after the Fall, and in any case croquet had a minor resurgence in the 1890s. Being a more intellectual and precise game, I imagine it would be more popular among cats than tennis.

Will we be judged by cats ? That would be... stressful.
Even weirder : maybe we'll be courted by cats ! Oh my...
