Constance Mayfair

Constance Mayfair

Born and raised in Savannah, Georgia in 1899 to Matthew and Maryanne Mayfair, Constance was predestined to be a Southern Belle of Savannah. She was blonde and beautiful; the jewel of the town. While she loved the attention, she cherished her independence. Constance kept suitors, debtors, and her teachers at bay by being mischievous, charming, and mastering the art of disappearing.
Constance dreamt of a life away from Savannah. She wanted to see Paris, Rome, and London. She wanted to travel the world and leave a string of broken hearts in her wake. Her dream would never come to fruition.
Matthew was a Lawyer, but not a very successful one. He made enough to survive, but not much more than that. His shortcomings as a Lawyer bled into his duties as a father, neglecting and berating Constance for her lively spirit. Constance and Matthew had a falling out after he struck her across the face for badmouthing him and his career.
On October 21st,1922, Constance disappeared for the final time in her father's car with nothing but his revolver and $50. She drove as far east as she could, somehow winding up in Boston where she got a job as a secretary for the curator at Boston Museum of Natural History. She found herself a tiny apartment near the slums and bought herself a sofa, a sauce pan, and a mattress. She didn't need much. She was planning on leaving soon. She set a jar up on the windowsill marked "Paris," and put whatever cash she could spare inside.
Constance was determined not to stay put for too long. Her adventure called her from across the sea.
