Chapter 201: Preparing For Winter.
Dearest Critic,
An Invitation to the Season’s Premier Gala
.
It is with the utmost delight that I present to you the season’s premier invitation. A ball.
With the gentle approach of winter, though the frost has yet to fully settle, the stage is meticulously set for an evening of grandness. Lady Cesita Reyes, in her inaugural venture into the realm of high society, extends an invitation to the distinguished populace of Critic Arley.
Her inaugural ball promises to be an affair of unparalleled elegance, one that only the most imprudent and rather brash would dare decline.
Guests are urged to adorn themselves in their most resplendent attire, befitting the exquisite setting. A word of caution: ensure that no one’s height or stature surpass the height of the doorways, lest one finds themselves regrettably excluded from the festivities.
Shame.
Now, whispers of the Season:
-Miss Isabella, Miss Shi’Enz and Miss Suzanne ware notably absent from last week’s soirée at the Hathaway Estate. Rumor has it that a secret engagement might be the cause of their sudden reclusiveness, pregnancies or congratulations approaching.
-The Honourable Miss Eugenia Clarke was spotted in a rather compromising discussion with the notorious rake, Sir Percival Blackwood. Is she courting danger, or merely indulging in a harmless dalliance?
