Beauty and the marquess! Lady Eva Hastings story

Beauty and the Marquess, Eva, The Hastings. Book 1

Chapter 15

Eva silently walked down the stairs into the dinning room for breakfast with the clan!

Alexander was reading his paper after being at parliament with his fellow lord's.

Elisabetha sitting down to porridge, fruit and yoghurt. Eva decides toast and English marmalade with orange juice.

Elisabetha spoke to her daughter about stopping. We have much to do today dress shops, haberdashery shops for ribbons and decoration! Oh and shoes maybe a little perfume Elisabetha says with a small wink at her daughter.

"But mama you said I was not allowed perfume? Well I have changed my mind darling."

Eva grins amused at her mama's change of heart questions curiously "why?" "Magdalena is allowed by her mama and I thought your only young once. So I have relented a bit but not on others her mama reminded sternly."

You are never having a low bust line dressing like a upper class trollop is not very refined. Even for people like us her mama gritting her teeth in dislike. Dressing to impress male attention for a good match is absurd. You are my daughter and you'll be dressed the innocent english way, your cousins family goes to far. Her mama addressed Eva serious.

"But mama" cried Eva "that is the rage at the moment a low bust line is flattering for a young girls bust"

Elisabetha turned her head to her daughter, eye to eye before snapping politely for Magdalena that style is perfect for large breasted girl's but you my sweet have nothing up top!

"Thats okay mama" full of dejection "I think my breast's are to small for those type of dresses Eva wickedly states back to her shocked mama."

"Eva hasting you don't talk so common to your mama, Alexander did you hear what your daughter suggested to me With disgust lacing her voice? Alexander responded bored "yes dear but that is your domain not mine so you clear it up" Rattling his morning paper.

"Ohh" Elisabetha clenches her hands disappointed in her husband for not helping with their troublesome daughter.

Why did you ask me such a question her mama inquired? "Well Lena, has a much larger breasts than I so she would look much better with a low bust line. Lena is French mama even though her mama grew up in England. The children were born and grew up in France thats my argument mama!

Elisabetha sighs in defence "okay, okay maybe your right, but I think your perfect just the way you are."

"You don't need low neckline dresses to help you look attractive because you are my beautiful daughter as all my daughters are her mama says smugly."

Just be yourself my girl thats all I want for you with manners their mama mentions with no ifs or buts tone.

Let's hit the London streets, we might get an ice cream and a walk through Hyde park Elisabetha excitedly told them.

"Is Bonny coming along as well?" Bonny smiled like the cat that got the canary and the cream At her sister.

"Yes she is Eva you girls must learn to co operate with each other or you will both be fighting this whole season!"

Eva shrugs her shoulders pretentious "whatever mama"

Elisabetha shakes her head in defeat "I need a miracle she decides"

They leave Alexander to his paper and parliament then takes Eva and Bonny shopping!

Hoo hum mutters their mama under her breath.
