Dearest gentle reader, the ton are abuzz as a new season is upon us. Is there anything more exhilarating than the announcement of the ball held by Her Majesty, the Queen? Oh but there is such exhilarating news i have heard. After much anticipation, I can confirm that our fair city of Mayfair is gaining a quite new gossip from a strong yet noble family.
The Lord and Lady Black along with their family sudden return has been the talk of the town, but this Author has been reliably informed that Baron Cyngus Black and his wife the lady Druella Black are taking residence for the first time back in London after living in France for years. Would one of their daughters be the diamond of the season? After all, they all grew up along with the famous Bridgerton family… Could the 1814 season finally be the season where one of the male Bridgertons marry? Perhaps, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton will grace the woman with his undeniable charms. But, perhaps the second-born, Benedict Bridgerton, could dominate this season as well.
Dearest reader, the time has come to place our bets for the upcoming social season: who do you think would be most suitable to court our beloved Blacks? As you tap on the name of your choice, it will lead you to the future of the Black sisters and their eventual husbands. Choose wisely, for all their fates rests upon the hands of each and every one of you.
Do not fret! I have my quill ready to note any scandal that occurs, so be sure to read my next paper for all the sordid details. Fear not, dear readers, for if there is any scandal at said event, then I shall uncover it.
One might even dare say that the elder Patriarch Black was to have a busy season indeed.
Yours truly
Lady Whistledown.
