It appears that the new Viscount L—’s first order of business was to procure a bride. A report from Gretna Green tells us that our Miss A— wore a single pearl on her dress. In related news, our Viscount E— has been spotted in his well-turned-out phaeton. Alone. Although with whispers (of the Original nature) circulating about E— (among others), we are hopeful for a viscountess in his near future. There is one pair, however, who are even more eager for the naming of this Season’s Original. Sources tell us that the rivalry between a certain Lady G— and the Marquess of Th— is fairly combustible when the two are in the same room. On the topic of combustion . . . an odd series of events brings our attention to Baron H—. After his recent bout of clumsiness—the sore-slipper debacle in Dame F—’s ballroom, the infamous quizzing glass incident at Sir G—’s garden party, and last evening’s flaming candelabra mishap in Lord R—’s dining room—one must wonder if H— should be dubbed Baron Catastrophe instead.
