The Further Observations Of Lady Whistledown (Lady W 1) - Plot & Excerpts
This Author personally detests the holiday. A girl must take the measure of her worth by the number of cards and bouquets she receives, and a young man is forced to spew poetry as if anyone actually spoke in rhyme.It’s a wonder the holiday hasn’t been banned from the capital. Or the nation, for that matter.But This Author supposes that there are those with more sentimental hearts, because Lady Shelbourne’s first (annual? This Author prays not) Valentine’s Day ball is sure to be a massive crush, if the number of affirmative replies is any indication.And since this is Valentine’s Day, This Author would be remiss if the question were not posed—Will any young couples make a match of it? Surely Lady Shelbourne cannot consider her party a success if the words “Will you marry me?” are not uttered even once.Or perhaps that will not be enough. After all, what is a proposal without the proper reply of “I will?”LADY WHISTLEDOWN’S SOCIETY PAPERS, 14 FEBRUARY 1814Anne slammed the Atlas of Britain closed as her father entered the library.
