How to Hate the One You Love.

Time For a Picknick

It was a sunny Saturday and all the families were promenading through the park and some taking a carriage ride to enjoy the flowers. There were boatmen on the lake taking a turn with their lady's.

AS The Bridgertons set up their blanket and the food to be arranged Violet noted Portia and her girls walking eyeful along. She quickly sent Daphne to work her charm.

Daphane: Good Morning lovely Featheringtons. My I am afraid my cook has over done the baskets this day. Would you care to join us on this lovely morning for some food and a little chit chat? You are most welcome are they not dear family?

Greg and Hyacing were nodding in joyful agreement. Then Mrs. Violet Bridgerton stood up and offered her hand personally to Portia.

Violet: Yes please do join us. IT is so dull of late and some stimulating conversation is sure to be had! She smiled warmly and Portia was delighted to be talked to by the Bridgertons but to be personally invited by Lady Bridgerton was a personal Boon for sure!

Portia let out a laugh of glee. Indeed. We are neighbours after all! Prudence, Phee and Where has  Penelope wandered off to now?

Violet: Oh Not to fret join us. Eloise will find her I am sure!

Eloise and Colin both made their greetings then were off to walk about in hopes of finding Penelope.

Sure enough she was under a tree and reading a book of botany it seemed. AS they got closer they were about to greet her when a scream was heard from the pond. Penelop was up to her feet and looking at the water. IT appears a little girl had fallen in and was now in trouble of drowning. 

Faster then any could react Penelope had Run to the pond and dove straight into the cold waters. She swarm so swiftly even wearing a dress and petty coats and reached the girl in record time. By this time a small gathering was collected by the pond. AS Penelope came from the water carrying the little girl. She laid her by the sure and quickly she told Eloise to bring her blanket from the tree. Penelope's then wrapped the girl to warm her.

Penelope: Its all right! You are ok now.  But pray what were you doing just now? Can you not swim?

Suddenly a grand lady in White and Red appeared along with her son and daughter.

Lady: Oh gracious: Fleur ARe you ok?!!! What happened?

Flurr: I am fine mother. Just taking a dip ahaha.

Lady: Not funny in the least Fleur Rosa Sterling!

Flurr looked at The nice  lady who had recused her. Oh oh.

Penelope could not help but softly laugh: Full names are never a good sign when quoted by a worried mama?

Lady Sterling: Thank you for saving her...she can get up to no good sometimes We are very pleased you were so quick to act. May I introduce my family: I am Elisa Sterling and my daughters Fleur, Rose and of course my son John Sterling. We are in you debt Miss?

Penelope gave a slight courtesy and said: Good day I am Miss Penelope Featherington. My Mother Portia and my sisters Prudence and Pee. I am glad that you are ok Fleur. But it seems rather odd to have almost sunk in so little water.

John Sterling: That is my doing I am afraid I had teased her about catching the frieze bee I did not think her brave enough to venture into the water like that.

Penelope eyed the gentleman. He was tall and broad shouldered with golden brownish hair. His eyes dark brown. AS Penelope eyed him she spoke up.

Pen: Yes well Pleased to meet you all! But perhaps in future it would be more beneficial to teach you sister to swim before catching a friz bee.
