BRIDGERTON VERSES FOR SOME BABES !!
This Author must apologize, it's been a month since Miss Catherine Morland was presented, and yet I haven’t said a word about her, thinking there was nothing more to be said about fresh faced girls from the country. They are a dime a dozen these days, there are only so many times I can write about their artless manners and sweet faces. Well, Miss Morland decided to surprise us all. A birdie told me that she is now the sole heir of the Allen fortune (the couple she accompanied to London this year). Mr. And Mrs. Allen have no heirs and apparently decided to bestow their entire fortune to her. I was apparently not the only one who heard this news. Mrs. Allen, who so far had no one to amuse in her drawing room, had to send her servants to buy more milk twice this morning.
There are two tragic things about Miss Emma Woodhouse -- her life story and the fact she still hasn’t realized she is no longer a big fish in a small pond. We all heard the dreadful story -- lost her mother as a child, and her father suddenly passed away last year. Now that she is out of mourning, she is experiencing her first London season. We all heard the rumors about her -- the most accomplished girl in her town. While that may be true in a small town, she is no match for these seasons finest girls.
Rejoice! We have another prince on our shores! Adam Barbot de Villenueve is the Crown Prince of a small kingdom and he is here to meet England’s finest young ladies. Where it is located exactly is debated by several mamas -- some say it's near France, while others claim it borders Russia. It doesn’t matter -- he is a Prince and extremely handsome. HIs manners are said to be impeccable and he dances very beautifully. This author hasn’t had the chance to see him for herself yet, but his blue eyes are described as jewels and his mouth is often compared to a ripe strawberry. And no, I don’t know what that means either.
Charles Bingley may not be the richest (or most titled) man in the marriage-mart this year, but he is considered to be a favorite by everyone he meets. Handsome, kind, and with a great affinity for dancing and talking, he is invited to every party and soiree. And most surprisingly -- he shows up to every event with a smile on his face! It’s a pity he is usually accompanied by his sister, who is not a favorite of this Author.
The Tremaine sisters are once again back in town, which means the Featheringtons may rest -- they are no longer considered the worst dressed family of the ton. They are accompanied by their mother, who despite her age, is still considered the most beautiful woman in every room she enters. They are staying at the Perrault Family Home, but Ella Perrault, the daughter of the family, stepdaughter to Lady Tremaine, is once again absent from every function the sisters attend. Lady Tremaine has said she is at home resting -- she is sick again. Some whisper that Lady Tremaine keeps the poor girl locked up due to her great beauty and that she doesn’t want anyone to upstage her daughters. I don’t quite believe that theory, for the greatest threat to the sisters is their mother. Still, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the sight of the elusive Ella Perrault.
