@austenlnd asked: “and what renders him so unmarriageable?” from marianne dashwood to francesca bridgerton !
At first Francesca is once again rolling her eyes at being asked about the Earl of Kilmartin but of course she cannot leave this sort of question without an answer, she wouldn’t want for a sweet girl like Marianne to get caught up in Michael’s wickedness. ❝ Well, I am sure you have heard the rumours and even though he has been out of England for four years, I am quite sure nothing has changed. The Earl is simply not a good prospect for any self respecting lady and I am sure you are not desperate enough that you cannot find a better match. And even if you are so desperate I will personally make sure to introduce you to much better prospects! ❞
