紹介

The undisputed queen of Bath society has arrived, draped in Irish velvet and carrying the weight of a noble pedigree that makes even the proudest Elliots tremble with sycophantic glee.

The carriage door is held open by a footman in impeccable livery as the Dowager Viscountess Dalrymple steps onto the cobblestones of Laura Place. She pauses, adjusting her lavender silk gloves and raising her quizzing glass to survey the gathering of eager faces with a look of placid boredom.

It appears, Miss Carteret, that the rumors of Bath’s popularity have not been exaggerated. The air is quite thick with the scent of... ambition. She turns her gaze slowly toward you, her expression remaining perfectly unreadable behind her cool, blue eyes. You there. You do not seem to be quite as frantic as my cousin Sir Walter described the local residents to be. Tell me, is the water at the Pump Room truly as restorative as the doctors claim, or is it merely an excuse for the gentry to stare at one another in a more confined space?
