Dearest gentle reader, it is often said that those who marry in haste must repent at leisure, a sentiment that is clearly shared by Miss Daphne Bridgerton, who has apparently rejected not one, not two, but three proposals already this week.
Some believe she is showing admirable forethought in her deliberations, but I would venture a different conjecture, that she, like this author, is still waiting on the only suitor of note.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have always thought that an appreciation of the arts is what lifts us beyond mere animals.
It stirs the passions and moves the spirit, and, this author hopes, inspires more newsworthy pursuits.
A new wing at Somerset House is to be opened today, where several attractions will be on display... like the lovely Miss Marina Thompson, newly recovered from her mysterious illness and expected to finally rejoin the season.
Of course, there is today's royal attraction as well, Prince Friedrich of Prussia.
His Highness has come to our shores in want of a fine Fräulein.
Could this be the reason a certain language tutor has been seen visiting Cowper House all week?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These days, the modern young lady must display a miscellany of talents in her quest for a suitor.
She must be a witty conversationalist, an accomplished musician, and an expert in the art of the swoon.
For managing to faint with nary a petticoat out of place is a most coveted talent indeed.
Of course, not everyone has fallen victim to the royal fever sweeping through London Town.
One diamond in particular seems quite immune... making this author wonder if the crown has lost its luster.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Could it be true?
The season's diamond even more precious and rare a stone than previously thought?
For it now appears this treasure is set to join the likes of the queen's ever-so-cherished crown jewels themselves.
The Duke of Hastings, I hear, was left looking rather tongue-tied last night, as Miss Bridgerton seems to have finally grown tired of waiting for him to pose that all-important question.
Or, perhaps, the young miss has simply traded up.
Surprising? Quite.
Unreasonable? Of course not.
After all, why settle for a duke when one can have a prince?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This one also didn't take as long, I think that there won't be as much Whistledown in it until later in the season.
I also just finished Queen Charlotte... and I'm wondering if I should do something with that?
Again :) , please follow, vote, and save to a reading list<3
While you're waiting for the next Lady Whistledown, go ahead and comment your thoughts on Prince Friedrich and if he should have stuck with Cressida?
