"Dearest Reader, this author finds herself compelled to share the most curious of news. It seems our diamond requires a closer inspection. As such, an even rarer jewel of only the most remarkable brilliance, fire, and luster has been unearthed. Her name unknown to most, yet soon known to all, is Miss Marina Thompson.
This author is left to wonder whether Her Majesty might reconsider the high praise she once afforded Miss Bridgerton for we all must know what the Queen despises more than anything... Being wrong. And the drawing room at Bridgerton house currently appears to be emptier than the muddled head of her dearest King George.

Her brother Jasper distracted the four suitors who had paid her a visit with a charming story of his days spent at school. "I believe my suitors have fallen deeply in love with Jasper."

"Have I told you recently how much I love you?" She wrapped her arms around him as she quietly squealed into his shoulder. "I shall leave quickly. If you should need me, you know where I will be."
"Take care." She glanced at the men young men still distracted by her brother and quietly snuck out of the room. She was greeted by Bailey in the foyer and she smiled politely at him.
"Leaving Miss Aurora?"
"Yes, I'm due for a visit to the Bridgerton home." She informed him.
