Once Lydia and I were downstairs after freshing up in our room I went to the ballroom where I saw the musicians they were tuning and practicing there instruments then I gave them a few suggestions of songs that they could play when the guests want to dance or when George and Lydia open up the dance first then followed by Peggy and General Arnold.
Then I was in the lobby area with Peggy she was in her best gown and we linked arms as I saw Lydia hold George's hand for comfort I can tell that she's super nervous but I always do this when Edmund has a party or a ball at ourplace, so as guests began to arrive at  the Mansion and saw Lydia and General Washington shaking there guests hands and say a few hellos before they were in the dining room to take there places at dinner as for me I was speaking with Peggy about Arnold since he's speaking to Mr. Hamilton.
Then I saw George whisper into her ear and said"Don't be nervous I'll help you through this evening Lydia just take a deep breath and have confidence," then Lydia took a deep breath before we had to greet there next guest Alexander Hamilton and John Adams very good friends of mine.
