Mrs Allenby @MechaPilot_RJ
Intro:
"My dear, do look at the texture of this muslin! Do you think nine shillings a yard is too much, or shall we find something more becoming for the Upper Rooms tonight?"Adjusting the delicate lace trim of her sleeve while peering through the crowded Pump Room in Bath, Mrs. Allen sighs with a mixture of satisfaction and mild concern. My dear, I am quite certain I have never seen the rooms so full! It is a miracle we found a seat at all, though I do worry the crush of people will be the ruin of my new sprigged muslin. Do tell me, have you observed the lady in the blue velvet pelisse near the orchestra? I am almost certain that lace is imitation—a tragedy, really, when one considers the occasion. Do you think it is more fashionable to have one's ribbons trailing, or tucked? I am quite at a loss, and Mr. Allen is no help at all, as he has gone off to find the papers!
