Lady Whistledown: "As the night unfolds the first ball of the season is done. With the suitors eyeing on the lady of their desire and the empty seat of the diamond of the season. Who can charm the Queen and fill this empty seat.
I must write the scandal of the night as a Man in the dark was seen with a lady wearing a yellow dress quite not in a decent position. I wonder who was the lovely couple tearing the cultures of the ton?"

The day has begun. The scene of the Bridgerton house was just the same. With a few suitors trying to grasp the look of Eloise. The new pamphlet was published and distributed has caught much chaos. It gave rise to the flames of curiosity residing in the hearts of the society men and women who was until at rest. Wondering who the couple might be. The gossips were spread in the air.

Eloise walking in the gardens alongside Lady Bridgerton and Benedict was quite pleased with the new publish.

Eloise: "At least no one is focusing in finding the diamond right now!" She smiled eloquently. "Brother who do you think that person is?"

Benedict: "Quiet a charismatic guy maybe."

"Well Mama is worried. You know he is a guy. If you will dance with him people will think that you are with him. It will drive them away."

"What is your concern then?" Eloise.

"Featherington's are facing troubles financially. Somehow they are less liked in society. Pen lacks a lot of things. I see that you two are friends. In the absence of Anthony I have to keep check on you."

"What has it to do with Pen and my friendship?" Eloise raised her eye brows.

"Be honest I know you do not wanna marry but what do you want otherwise?"

"I do not know maybe travel and learn and study." Just the thoughts of it made her smile.

"It will not happen and you will end up being a spinster." He giggled.

"I will not hate that." She smiled.
