We all know the great lengths a young lady would go in pursuit of a proposal, and apparently she will travel great distances too.
Lord Anthony Bridgerton appears to be inching ever so closer to selecting his Viscountess, and to that end, has invited our diamond to join him for an excursion at his ancestral home, Aubrey Hall.
Country air indeed, clears the mind, and invigorates the body. Might this be the final gust that pushes the Viscount over the precipice of a proposal?
Lady Whistledown's society papers,1814
“A week, at Aubrey Hall, how marvelous” I exclaimed, looking out the windows of the carriage we were currently riding in.
“Perhaps, I’ll wear my pink silks at dinner tonight” Edwina wondered
“Whatever you wear, you will look beautiful, Bon” I smiled at her
“Do you think Lord Bridgerton will like it?” Edwina asked us
“Of course he will, Bon” Kate assures her
“ you need not worry about the viscount’s favor, Miss Edwina” Lady Danbury tells her “ It is an exceedingly good sign, that he’s invited us to spend a few days with the family, before the rest of the ton arrives for the real party” we all chuckle
“Perhaps by then, you will have an engagement to announce” Mama cuts in, my smile dimmed ever so slightly, before I brightened it once again.
“ he will be assessing me, I know. Considering how I may perform as Viscountess” Edwina said boastful
“And he should not be the only one” Kate advises “You too must consider, if Lord Bridgerton is everything you want in a match as well”
“Of course he is, Kate” I argued “ The viscount is a wonderful person” I nodded
“How would you know?” Kate questioned “You have not spent much time with him”
“Perhaps not” I agreed “ but we send each other correspondence too often, he is most definitely everything i- Edwina, wants in a man”
“He sends you letters?” Edwina asks confused “ Why does he send you letters?, he does not send me letters” Mama and Lady Danbury sent each other looks before looking backa t me, expecting an answer
“I- well- I do not know Bon” I murmured evading their eyes “ You know the viscount, he prefers action over words, and we talked about you, your likes and dislikes, I was helping him in his desire to know more about you” She nodded, more content after my explanation
“Besides,” I started “ Anthony and I are friends as well, it is not a crime to share letters with your friends now, is it?”
“Anthony?” Mama asked “You call him by his given name?”
“It is not a big deal, mama. As I said, we are friends, we should all pass the week with open minds” I gave Kate a look
“ I should be the very picture of amiability” Kate agrees
“Very well,” Edwina smiled “ pink it is”

“Now, the only reason to endure such a journey” Lady Danbury exclaims as she steps out the carriage, us stepping out behind her
“You remember Edwina and Kate” Mama said to Lady Bridgerton while I looked around
“ And Y/n” I bowed when I was called
“Of course, how nice to see you again, sweetheart” I smiled at her
“Thank you, once again, for coming over for tea last week, Eloise was most happy that her new friend could join us” She thanks me
