" i was not expecting a gentleman caller this morning . " the dark haired woman descended the stairs of the cavendish manor . it had been many years since helena had last stepped foot inside and had been in the process of changing everything . " were we expecting you ? "

[odvttes]

an almost wicked grin graced her lips as she reached down to run her right hand through his dark locks before she gained her grip on the strands , pulling her head back slightly , " such a good boy , following my instructions . now , how should i reward you ? " a soft hum left her lips as dark hues gazed downwards at the male .

without hesitation, colby finds himself on his knees peering upwards at the woman, a wicked grin stretching over his mouth, brow raised awaiting her next move. ❝ anything you want, my darling. ❞

@dukescharming asked: “ i think you should kiss me. “

the smile on daphne's lips dims ever so slightly, considering the thought. while she would not admit such a thing aloud, she found herself wondering if she intrigued him the way he fascinated her — his smile, warm and effervescent, could easily convince any young lady to do just about anything. herself included. her eyes quickly flicker down to his lips before meeting his eyes again, a slight smile returning to her lips. "—you do?" she asked quietly, as her heart rate began to pick up pace.

Dearest Reader,

Although my recent issue only recently printed, the toll on which the ball seems to have had on many, has condoned a more regular appearance. This week has brought many feelings, of which we have observed from members of the ton, and below.

As always, I write to share the comings and goings of many, to the delight of some, and to despair of many.

Our dearest Daphne seems to be lovesick, clearly Prince Luis has caused quite the stir. Despite the recent loss of his father, Prince Luis has wasted no time in courting Mis Pendlebury, being caught kissing in public as of late. A lovely display of affection. However my mind wanders -- how did he end up with a black eye? Perhaps we should ask Viscount Bridgerton, who appeared to support Daphne in her honour. This is both honourable, and idiotoc. Despite Daphne's woes, it was noted she was in attendance with Colby Ledger. Though, it needs to be noted , his tendency to indulge with women of the ton, having being spotted with Primrose and Grace, and perhaps more.

Dear Primrose appears to have a pick of two men, seemingly caught the interest of Owen Thornby. Though, his first love is back in town, perhaps this makes their love story more complicated? I do wonder if Delilah knew of Owens involvement in her previous proposal, encouraging his former best friend to do so, despite his love for her. Selfless acts, both sweet and rather unsettling.

Returning to Prince Luis sister, Princess Isabella. Whilst hurt by the death of her father, she has kept busy in the company of her brother's right hand Patrick. Rumours are easily spread, and the closeness certainly emphasises this. However, I did note jer closeness with Drew also, who knows what is to come?

Returning to the Pendlebury family, they have had their fair share of scandals. Starting with the oldest brother, Graham, his wife Aurora has returned. It is fair to say their marriage is far from smooth sailing, in fact, they appear to despise each other. Though, Graham's attentions seem further away. It was noted he entered Lady Eleanor's boutique and spent a long time there. I doubt he is in search of fine clothing, do you?

Now, onto the younger brother, Arthur. He certainly seems to have gotten himself into difficulties. Whilst Amelie was kidnapped, unbeknownst to him, he was indulging in his housekeeper Defne. Scandalous, and has certainly caused a lovers tiff. Though, we know Amelie has been rather close to new arrival Hamish. Those in glass houses, should not throw stones.

Remaining with our new arrival, Hamish seems to have a rather complex past. Do you think he's aware that his past is closer than he thinks? In the Cavendish Manor? The daughter in which he has been looking for, perhaps she is unaware her father is within reach. Perhaps fears arise when meeting a daughter of which , he will know nothing about.

Returning to the Bridgerton family, dear Benedict has returned from his art retreat. We dare not think of his ongoings , however, it was noted he was with Odette Reeves, apologising profusely for his manner in which he took her to bed. Trouble in paradise? Though, it seems more complicated, more than one woman in your life, it seems. He seemed rather flirtatious with Princess Ana.

Dear Francesca is also guilty for indulging. She was spotted entering the Sterling home, and not appearing for some time. We could begin to question your intentions, or your purity.

We also noted Colin and Penelope are newly courting, very sweet. Though has Colin waited too long? It appears she is in receipt of a few letters, from a certain Montague Harmon. Quickly now Colin, time may nearly be up.

Despite his foul play with Prince Luis, it appears that Viscount Bridgerton is rather smitten with Miss Kate Sharma. Do I sense wedding bells to come sooner than expected? Miss Sharmas younger sister also seeks love, which is closer than she think. Prince Friedrich is rather infatuated, seeing some sweet displays of conversations. I do hope to see them flourish further. Perhaps they will be courting within weeks?

His sister's, however are getting into their fair share of scandals. Beginning with Alexandra, caught cosy with dear Agnes , we did not realise that Agnes was that way inclined. It begs to wonder, does Libby know of this affair?

Her sister Florence is no angel, either. She was spotted with Drew Harmon, a little too close for comfort. Be careful, princess, your reputation will surely be tainted by a man whom is notorious for sleeping around. Rumour has it, her guard has returned to town, I do wonder how Lucas feels of this discovery? We know your closeness resorted in his departure -- will this happen again?

Our dear Mr and Mrs Harrington , Sophia was caught unwell in public. Does Hector know you sre expecting? Congratulations are in order! A baby is on the horizon! Who are we congratulating, Hector or did she resume an old flame?

We noted many new arrivals in the last few weeks. This includes Pendlebury friend, Leopold. It appears he has been close with this family. Does he know that Arthur was responsible for tarnishing his forbidden love life many years ago?

Grace and Nathaniel hold history, often indulging in a holiday romance. Frowned upon to be seen with a lady of her stature, do you not think?

Ayla and Theodore's are growing close. Her child has a sneaking resemblance to him, it's uncanny. I do wonder if he sees the res

Moving onto a different Theo, wouldn't want to mix up who the father is, now would we? Mai and Theo met for the first time in years. How will she feel if she knows the reason why?

As always, the ton has been flourishing with both positive and negative events. As a public service, I like to inform those who, are unaware of such scandals.

For I am sure scandals will follow suit, and for what is it worth -- i'll be watching.

Yours sincerely,

Lady Whistledown

[poorbaker]

fmk free choice of who out of the men in town. if the marriages and courtships didn't exist.

"Normally I do not resort to degrading the men of the ton, but for once, I am feeling willing." She pondered for a moment, brows knitting together. "Sleep with Colby Ledger." She chuckled softly, shaking her head. "Marry Graham, he has always been kind to me.' Perhaps more than that. "And kiss Simon Basset, though don't tell him that." They had been friends since childhood, but not in such a way.

[purelegnces]

fmk any male or woman in the ton

❝ these games are childish. ❞ she rolled her eyes. ❝ fuck benedict bridgerton, marry no one, kate sharma, kill colby ledger. are you satisfied ? ❞

[bridgertonrpsarchive]

hey if colby's (and his sisters in regards to the wc) last name is ledger does that make him related to the bridgerton's since violet's maiden name was ledger?

Hi, I'm not sure! I will double check with the rper. If you could message off anon, then I can confirm with you.

Lists ‘N Stuff: The Top 10 UFC WWs from 2010 to 2019

I like lists! It’s my thing these days I guess. I started doing this particular list because my attempt at creating the top 10 boxing welterweights of the 2000s was pretty much DOA given how most of the guys you’d expect (Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquaio, Mosley) all jumped around weight classes so frequently in that era that I’d either be left removing Floyd (who fought thrice at the weight) or Pacquaio (twice) or trying to justify how Carlos Quintana and Louis Collazo were actually really genuinely top 10 welterweights. I figured I could extend that to just 140 and 147 lbs but at that point I gave up. Instead let’s jump sports and go right to MMA which I’ve been chronologically bullshitting about on here since 2012. Just HOW good was the UFC’s welterweight division from 2010 to 2019? Well let’s do the hard work!

Couple of caveats here:

-This is strictly based upon 1) your fights at WW only and 2) your fights ONLY in the UFC. Guys who were fighting outside the organization don’t have those fights count against your record.

-There’s a FIVE fight minimum to be eligible. This is primarily due to not wanting to have to deal with “What about Conor/Nate/Nick?!” questions. 

-Unless a fighter actually popped positive on a drug test, I did not try to  dock anybody who I suspected of being on PEDs. We know the UFC was the wild wild west for most of this era so rather than be the equivalent of the guy who swears RDA is on steroids because “Well he started winning then he lost!”, I stuck to the facts. 

Honorable Mentions:

Colby Covington- As much as we all may dislike Covington for what he does and says, the fact of the matter is that Colby Covington is a genuinely good welterweight. Wins over Robbie Lawler, Demian Maia and Rafael Dos Anjos are his two big punctuation marks but this is also a guy who gave Kamaru Usman hell for an extended period in their title fight and holds a bevy of solid under the radar wins over the likes of Max Griffin and Dong Hyun Kim. I could see somebody putting Covington on their top 10 and I wouldn't begrudge them at all. I just couldn't cross that bridge on my end.

Rafael Dos Anjos- RDA is probably a top 10 all time lightweight and one of the greatest fighters of the 2010s but I still think I prefer RDA's dominance as a lightweight. As a welterweight he got off to a tremendously hot start in the weight class punctuated by a win over Robbie Lawler but from then on? It's been a pretty dry run. Since the Lawler fight, RDA is 1-4 and the pattern is pretty much out there. If you pressure him early and prevent him from getting a good feel for the space and pace of the fight, he's a pretty easy touch. He's gritty and durable but he basically exists now to test if you're ready for the big step up. I'm not a big fan of the gatekeeper label for dudes like RDA so I prefer the term mini boss. He's the guy who checks to see if you're ready for the big boss.

Leon Edwards- Leon Edwards is 10-2 and coming off a career defining win over RDA and yet he's not in the top 10? Against fighters who have better records than him?! To begin with, Edwards has a looot of dead air on his resume. We're talking about guys who weren't even relevant at the time of their fight. A green Vicente Luque and Bryan Barberena were his good wins but not exactly top 10 worthy, especially given the UFC roster bloat. There's also only one guy on the top 10 list who did NOT get at least an interim title shot and that guy beat him up in a backstage fight so it's not like I could squeeze him in. I also have to admit (unfortunately) that Edwards is sort of a dull fighter who tends to get overlooked on lists like this.

Jake Shields- I don't think there's anything wrong with Jake Shields sneaking onto this list. Shields' run as a welterweight in the UFC was a 4-3 jaunt (that felt like the 100 year war) with wins over some damn good fighters but mostly in close contested score card-y fights. On paper though wins over Woodley and Maia SHOULD get you into the top 10 though so again, if he's on yours then fine. No shame in losses to Hector Lombard, GSP and Ellenberger.

Jake Ellenberger- If you remove the last five fights of his career when he was just sort of being trudged out there because “He hit hard so he can always win a fight!”, Jake Ellenberger has a spiffy record of 9-6 with wins over the likes of Jake Shields, Josh Koscheck and a not exactly cooked Diego Sanchez while his losses are to the likes of Rory Mac, Robbie Lawler, Wonderboy and the generally underrated Martin Kampmann. Not a top 10 for the decade even at that point but the rise of the elite four in Colby, Masvidal, Usman and Woodley and him continually getting fights over and over and over haven’t been kind to him. Ellenberger, Kampmann and Carlos Condit are the three guys who will always be sort of forgotten by modern fans who deserve their just due.

------------------------

1- Georges St. Pierre Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 6-0 Record in title fights- 6-0 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-0

So in hindsight, GSP's resume is not exactly all that hot. Dan Hardy, Jake Shields and Josh Koscheck all pretty much faded out of relevancy shortly after their title fights although GSP probably ended Koscheck's career. GSP's record is a mere 6-0 and he pretty much sat out the Woodley/Lawler/Hendricks era of MMA minus a cameo to claim the UFC's middleweight crown. Ignore that part of his resume and instead remember that GSP tore his ACL on TWO separate occasions and there were genuine questions about his ability to come back and fight. Not only did he come back but he came back with basically the same style that made him a legend slightly tweaked and amplified to overcome his lack of explosiveness. GSP will always be viewed differently because he didn't finish fights but again, he was pretty much cooked physically well into his early 30s due to repeated knee injuries. What's more? GSP should be #1 overall if only because he is one of the few guys in MMA who was able to continually dictate his own terms. He was able to pick who he fought because for years he fought EVERYBODY there was to fight. He was able to choose where he fought because he was the UFC's biggest draw before the rise of Conor McGregor. He beat Hendricks in a close fight, realized his health took priority and retired. He started a media war with the UFC and won that too. Then he returns, coaxes the UFC into giving him a middleweight title fight, wins that and then realizes that he doesn't have to fight anymore against what was at the time a rising crop of genuinely bad ass middleweight contenders like Robert Whittaker, Yoel Romero and the likes of Weidman, Jacare, Gastelum, Rockhold and so on so forth. GSP got in, got titles, got paid and then got out when the situation didn't seem right to him. That's #1 shit.

2- Tyron Woodley Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 9-3-1 Record in title fights- 4-1-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 4-2-1

To quote the always esteemed "Tyron Woodley is just going to continue to piss people off." Woodley's UFC reign began with him bombing out Jay Heiron on short notice and then he followed that up by smelting Jay Heiron and then sort of stumbled over his feet to the tune of a 2-2 record. After his loss to Rory MacDonald in June of 2014, Woodley went on one of the welterweight divisions more impressive tears with wins over Dong Hyun Kim, Robbie Lawler, Stephen Thompson and Darren Till to name a few. Woodley's fights were either really great (Thompson I, Till) or really awful  (Thompson II, Gastelum) with very little in between space. His 4-1-1 record in title fights and 4-2-1 record against competition on this ledger paint the picture of one of MMA's best neutralizers and one of the greatest resumes of the 2010s. Woodley's 2019 pretty much hit the skids as he lost to Kamaru Usman in a blow out and then pretty much disappeared with hand and shoulder issues. Woodley's probably approaching the back 9 of his career but I would be stunned if he wasn't in the top 3 welterweights all time even when the NEXT decade ended. All hail MMA's greatest nuisance.

3-  Robbie Lawler Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 9-5 Record in title fights- 3-2 Record against other fighters on the list- 4-2

I remain a sentimentalist I suppose. The latter days of the Lawler era are painful in large part because years of wars and a style that willingly sacrificed rounds 2 to 4 finally caught up with Robbie Lawler. He just sort of fell apart which isn't too surprising since from December 2013 to Jan 2016 he fought NINE times with FIVE of those fights going a full five rounds. From that period of time Lawler has  win over Rory MacDonald (twice), Carlos Condit, Jake Ellenberger, Matt Brown, Johny Hendricks with FOUR fight of the nights and FOUR UFC title fights. Robbie Lawler spoiled us to believe welterweight fights were always awesome because every fight he was in WAS awesome. The latter era of Lawler is pretty sad. Woodley beat IMO the last image of a prime Robbie Lawler but after that I think it's fair to say the fire was gone. He probably deserved to lose to Donald Cerrone as well if we're being honest. The one brief flicker of light was against Ben Asken in a fight I thought he won prior to Askren pulling out a sub in a rally come from behind 1st round "win" dare I say. Lawler has had a lot of injuries, a lot of inactivity (he fought the same number of fights in 2014 alone than he has since the start of 2017) and sometimes the magic just runs out.

4- Kamaru Usman Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 11-0 Record in title fights- 2-0 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-0

Next to Wonderboy vs Rory MacDonald, Lawler vs Usman was a tremendous struggle for me. Kamaru Usman's steadier and had more of a balance to his career. Even if he had slipped up once or twice prior to this, Usman's overall dominance is stupendous. Wins over RDA and a bunch of good welterweights like Leon Edwards, Sergio Moraes and Colby Covington are good enough to get you on the list but getting into the top 5 requires you to scalp Tyron Woodley in a blowout. Usman's here because for most of the early portions of his UFC career, he was borderline brutal to watch and his competition was pretty blegh/eh/meh. Usman's rise really took off in after the Emil Meek fight and the Woodley/Covington back to back performances vaulted him up the rankings big time. The fun part with Usman is seeing how high he'll go when this list is re-done in 2030 or so. By the time we hit 2022 or so, Usman could have wins over Masvidal, Edwards (again), Covington (again) and potentially a whole new banner crop of welters.

5- Stephen Thompson Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 10-4-1 Record in title fights- 0-1-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 3-1-1

If we decided to rank these dudes in order of politeness, Thompson and Maia would be fighting for the #1 spot. Sometimes I wonder if Wonderboy is forgotten when we discuss the best UFC fighters to never win a title. On this list alone, he beat Johny Hendricks, Jorge Masvidal and Rory MacDonald. He gave two tough title fights to Tyron Woodley while holding the title of having arguably the biggest disparity in title fight quality in said title fights. He'll probably never live down getting smelted by a pudgy lightweight in Anthony Pettis and that alone could've been enough to knock him down the charts I suppose. I wonder how the WW division would've changed if Wonderboy arrives in, say, 2010 or so as opposed to 2012. He's just never had the gear to go out and take a tough fight away from the other guy which is why he lost twice to Woodley and suffered that kind of brutal decision loss to Darren Till.

6- Rory MacDonald Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 9-4 Record in title fights- 0-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-4

Rory entered the UFC in 2010 and was gone before 2016 was over. In six years, he has one of MMA's most impressive resumes with a whose who of fights against the elite of the elites. He fought Robbie Lawler twice, Carlos Condit, Demian Maia, Stephen Thompson, BJ Penn, Jake Ellenberger and Tyron Woodley and that's all without looking it up. He'll always be defined by the war vs Robbie Lawler that basically broke him beyond repair. Rory may not be a top 3 WW but of the ten names on this list, he's arguably among the more culturally significant to the MMA landscape. Rory is without question one of the best welterweights of his era and I also think he's one of the few dudes who did it while almost certainly without steroids. My hat is off to him.

7- Demian Maia Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 12-5 Record in title fights- 0-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-3

So when I originally did this list, I had Demian Maia MUCH higher up. Like above Rory higher. Maia being ranked above Rory Mac sounds like a bit of a crock given how MacDonald beat Maia BUT I'm also accounting for long term career relevance in a sense. Maia's still having competitive fights at WW (pause on that Burns fight) and beating up on dudes sometimes 15 years younger than him while Rory is 3-2-1 since leaving the UFC and 3-4-1 since 2015 ended. That said when you factor in the Woodley performances for each guy plus Rory's prime being so magnetic (and the win in the H-2-H matchup, I made a switch). When you consider how utterly one dimension Demian Maia is, it's a testament to how insane that dimension is that he's up this high.  Maia has wins over list guys Carlos Condit, Jorge Masvidal and relatively dominant performances over dudes you'd recognize like Ben Askren, Lyman Good, Neil Magny, Gunnar Nelson and then undefeated Ryan LaFlare. His losses are to genuinely legitimately awesome fighters like Rory MacDonald, Kamaru Usman and Tyron Woodley.

8- Johny Hendricks Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 10-6 Record in title fights- 1-2 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-3

Hendricks is another dude who had an unceremonious ending to his career. From 2011 to 2015, he was genuinely at worst #3 in the welterweight rankings. We're talking a resume loaded with guys like Josh Koscheck, Carlos Condit, Martin Kapmann, John Fitch, Matt Brown, GSP and Robbie Lawler all on the docket. I went back and watched Hendricks vs GSP for this and still come away thinking Johny got jobbed. Hendricks' career will always be filled with question marks and what if's. We'll never know whether he was on steroids and we'll never know what would've happened if Hendricks would've kept himself in shape more consistently to avoid the ballooning up that eventually fucked his body up.  We'll never know if he would've beaten GSP in a rematch or how he would've done had the rumored Nick Diaz vs Johny Hendricks fight that was in talks for 2015 (the one which led to Anderson vs Nick Diaz) would've panned out. Hendricks is a what if but the fact he is a what if while also being a top 10 welterweight for a loaded decade of great fighters is a damn testament to how big of a whirlwind he was for the beginning of the decade.  

9- Jorge Masvidal Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 7-5 Record in title fights- 0-0 Record against other fighters on the list- 0-2

Jorge Masvidal makes it onto the list primarily due to his run on the back half of the 2010s. Regardless of how you feel about Darren Till, Nate Diaz and Ben Askren, those are three of the most impressive wins of 2019. He was in the running for 2019's FOTY (I believe he WAS my pick) and is having a seriously impressive second half of his career. Even his losses are all in pretty damn close fights minus Wonderboy who just casually pieced him up. The reason he's so low is that the two guys on this list that he fought, he lost to. Masvidal historically has been a guy who can feast on the lower portions of (insert division/rankings here) but when it comes to the step up, he never actually takes the next step in fights he can CLEARLY win. If he ever fights Kamaru Usman, he could move up higher on the list and if he wins then we need to talk about Masvidal as having a Bisping-esque career resume.

10- Carlos Condit Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 6-8 Record in title fights- 1-2 Record against other fighters on the list- 1-5

If Carlos Condit had simply retired like he planned to after the Maia loss, he would've retired 6-5 with wins over the likes of Rory MacDonald, Nick Diaz and Martin Kampmann from 2010 to 2019. Instead his resume was littered with rough losses in three straight fights against substandard competition. Carlos Condit's run from 2011 to 2013 is stuff of legend but the tide clearly turned after tearing his ACL vs Tyron Woodley. He had one big turning back the clock performance vs Robbie Lawler in a fight I still to this day feel like he won. Condit's body and lack of significant pop in his hands just put the ceiling on his career. Condit's back 9 of the 2010s are ugly but on the front leg, he was the first dude to beat DHK, the first to beat Rory MacDonald, beat Nick Diaz, gave GSP his toughest fight in years and IMO beat Johny Hendricks. Also come on now dudes. If you think Condit wasn't on this list somehow then you don't know me.

she chuckles, shooting him a playful look. she does not believe it's a genuine question, for he of all people should know the type of reaction he elicits from young women. if not for his gallantry, then for his dashing good looks, but daphne decides to indulge him anyway. "you are a strong, handsome, charming, titled gentleman, mr colby. one smile from you would set an entire room full of young lady's hearts aflutter." she holds his gaze for a moment before reluctantly moving her gaze back to her ankle. her hands return to her sides and she shifts slightly on the cushioned seat, attempting to find some comfort while he evaluates her ankle. "i would like that." a slight smile pulls at her lips but is quickly replaced with a wince in response to the pressure applied. "yes ... i should have been more careful with my steps."

❝ well then, miss daphne, why do you do you say such a thing ? ❞ he questions with a playful smile. he watches for a moment as she reaches for her own ankle, before he easily kneels before her, catching the twisted limb with gentle hands, shooing her own hands away. ❝ i shall hope never to receive your call for a mishap, but rather for company. ❞ he muses, easily unlacing the shoe and placing the palm of his hand on the sole of her foot. ❝ does this hurt ? ❞ he asks with little pressure.

Dearest reader,

The festivities were certainly as delightful as the company, for this writer was fantasied by the chaos and scandals that laid in their midst. Who knew that one night could pose so many opportunities for my comments? It were almost as if you made it too easy for me to fixate on the wrongdoings of our latest social elites.

It was difficult to miss the proximity of a Miss Kate Sharma and Viscount Bridgerton -- though, this did not last for long, as it appears the two had a disagreement, and thus parted ways with anguish in the air. Who knows what is truly in store for these love birds, but one things for certain -- if love is in the air, then he will not like the intentions of Simon Basset and Colby Ledger who made sure to indulge in Miss Sharma's company whilst the Viscount was 'pre-occupied'. However, was such company bait for Viscount Bridgerton to see what he was missing? It is evident that we have not heard the last of this feud.

As per Bridgerton nature, a Mr Colin Bridgerton appears to have gotten himself into quite the predicament. Our 'wallflower' Penelope Featherington appears to have caught his eye. This writer has her reservations, after all, why would it take him this long to notice his close friend, of whom he had been writing to over his travels? We all know writing to anyone other than family is forbidden, and Mr Bridgerton is no less familiar with this rule. Hidden in the shadows Colin stole a kiss, though it did not last long before Miss Featherington was seen fleeing the scene. Do we feel he has perhaps broken her heart, so soon? It was lucky to see a certain Montague was there to look after dear Penelope -- be careful Colin, you may be too late for this wallflower.

Did anyone notice the frown that remained on a certain Daphne Bridgerton's face this evening? It is certain that this diamond was left high and dry by someone who has caught her eye. Prince Luis -- who appears to have caught a fair share of ladies eyes this evening, for right, or wrong reasons. Sadly, Luis seems pre-occupied preparing to court a Phoebe Pendlebury. This writer is certain this is of new knowledge, a rather fast paced engagement, don't you agree? This writer awaits the reaction of Phoebe's brothers, Arthur and Graham, whom were not consulted prior to such arrangements -- let the chaos commence.

Keeping with the Pendlebury's, it appears they are all having troubles with love. Graham, his wife no where in sight, and flirting with no other than Lady Eleanor. Scandalous -- just the way this writer likes it. Though careful Eleanor, we wouldn't want you to taint your own name, with a married man, no less. Arthur, reunited with former love Amelie, fighting against all in which they believed to be true, turns out to be a lie. Will these lovers reunite? or will there be problems to arise when she realises Arthur hasn't simply waited for her? This writer saw Defne speaking with the lord, perhaps it's her turn in love?

Marquis Hector Darrington, and his wife appear to have returned to London. This reader is happy on such occasions, especially with Sophia's prior history with the Viscount. I do wonder what his reaction may be to her premature return, in the midst of him having trouble in love. Though, the couple do appear to be having their own troubles -- I do wonder if this is because of jealousy, or something more? With Sophia's past, we are sure to expect scandal.

This writer does not miss a thing -- such as the kiss between a certain Sebastian and Clara. A rather sweet display, though will her brother Kerem agree to such indecencies? Though a certain Kerem, his fiancee not in sight, so perhaps he has his own problems to fight?

A certain Edwina Sharma was seen speaking with Prince Friedrich, though, it appears she was none-the-wiser of his heritage. For one night only, Friedrich got to live a 'normal' life, but this writer has sadly, burst that bubble. Rather sweet sights seen between the both of them. Though, naïve as Miss Edwina may be, had not noticed how fond a certain Miss Agnes is of her.

The evening brought many people together, including old flames Owen and Delilah, and newer potentials such as Andrew and Florence.

This reader is keen to see how the above cope with scandals being revealed, for we know , it'll be as scandalous as the night prevailed.

For I am sure scandals will follow suit, and for what is it worth -- i'll be watching.

Yours truly,

Lady Whistledown.
