Sir Benjamin Slade is 79 years old, has two castles, and one problem: no one will inherit them if he doesn’t manage to have a son soon.
That is why he published a list of requirements that seems straight out of another century. The candidate must be taller than 1,67 centimeters, be twenty years younger than him, not be an Aquarius, and must never have read The Guardian. He also does not accept women from countries whose name begins with “I”, which rules out Ireland, Italy, India, and much of Europe in one stroke.
In return, he offers 60.000 euros a year, a house, a car, and a pheasant field on his estate in Somerset, England. All to ensure that his baronet title, inherited in 1962, does not die out with him.
