Could you imagine if Penny or Georgiana Crane are named the diamond?
What would that do to their parents?
Poor Eloise would actually have to participate in Society. Balls, garden parties and Tea.
Phillip would have to beat off the men with a stick and actually look people in the eye.
Amanda and Oliver would still be lil' shits even though they are almost 30.
Poor Fredrick is probably left Home Alone. Like Macaulay Culkin.
Nevermind the trouble the girls would create with Handsome young men.
I don’t doubt that Eloise and Phillip considered actively raising Penny and Georgiana to be hoydenish termagants just to avoid such an outcome.
Though I think Eloise and Phillip wouldn’t dislike the events of the season as much since they have each other to hang out with, it’s really the matchmaking that scares them.
I think Phillip would have no difficulty looking suitors in the eye so long as he’s giving them a death glare, with Oliver 3 feet behind him doing the same (Amanda’s having too much fun out on the horse farm with Charles to bother with the season)
Frederick would probably be hanging out with his cousins John, Richard, and George and getting into a whole separate set of shenanigans.
Meanwhile I’m sure Penny has a checklist for potential suitors that she has no qualms with filling out in front of their faces, meanwhile Georgiana is regretting that she got talked into doing this by Penny and wishes she did what Amanda did lol 😂
