Lilith POV

With My Grandmama Charlotte, Lady Danbury and my sisters looking at the necklaces the lots of Mama's have gifted her to have Grandmama chose their daughters as the next diamond and they were a lot

"Evidently, diamonds are not so rare, after all." Me and my sisters nod in agreement

"Which is exactly why I am not choosing one, no matter how many jewels anxious mamas might send."

"So you are unperturbed by what Lady Whistledown has written?" Grandmama chuckled softly

"That she thinks I am afraid of choosing a diamond? Why should I be? I hear my choice last year, Miss Edwina, has made a splendid match abroad."

"Certainly, Your Majesty. So why not continue with your success?"

"And give Whistledown exactly what she wants? I will not. Besides, I have not seen nearly enough from this year's girls. If I am to grant someone my favor, she must do more to earn it."

"I see. I shall simply choose someone... Who... sparkles?"

"Precisely."

"Hmm."

"My sparkler shall make the best match of the season, and then Whistledown will be reminded once and for all. It is she who should be afraid."

"Hmmm."

"Very afraid." Spoke my younger sisters

"Exactly my musical jewels."

Adagio POV

Back home in our room as we read lady whistledown while our maid brought us some cold tea

Gentle Reader, it is said that fools rush to judge while the wise watch and wait. Years ago, Miss Henderson, once thought to be on the shelf, triumphed over many a deb to marry Earl Fraser. Miss Dunham had been doomed to spinsterhood until she married Baron Ely. And Miss Kathani Sharma, at the ripe age of six-and-twenty, still managed to capture the heart of none other than the Viscount Bridgerton. The truth is... that which some dismiss as common rock, time reveals to be precious stone. A fact the new Baron of Kent and his family are learning this very week. At other times, what appeared to be priceless, under pressure, shatters like glass. What this author knows to be true is that diamonds are not the only gems that sparkle.

"Hmmm very interesting indeed." Said Aria

"Truly but soon will know who she is." I spoke

Theodore POV

Me and my brothers Langdon and Mattheo were walking with our aunt Eloise and uncle Benedict and Colin

"Oh. Would you prefer to be promenading with your fellow debutantes?"

"Would you like to watch grass grow? And it is not me they are eyeing."

"I do not understand the limits of your new outlook. You're snug with Cressida but have no interest in other debutantes. You wear a ribbon in your hair, but where is your fan?"

"Why must I be the object of your curiosity? It is not me whose outlook has most changed."

"Mmm."

"Did you not promise Anthony you would give society a try?"

"I shall see you both later." Uncle Colin leaves

"Oh... Perhaps one of those ladies has a fan I might borrow. Looks like it may become rather warm."

Elizabeth POV

At night with my husband getting ready for bed

"Beauty never looked as you do my love." He kissed me behind my neck lightly
