Elodie had noticed something was up when they days activities were cancelled. She had been ushered to her room and instructed not really to leave shortly after breakfast. Today though, she was not restricted when she left. She went to the tree from yesterday for a while and read some. Maids were...
Hi There!
Harcourt Ball is an annual event in the 1800's court. Lady Harcourt is a renowned matchmaker, and once a year she welcomes young men and women into her home to match them with their intended. Located in England, young Lords, Ladies, Heiresses and Heirs travel from all over the world...

Elodie flushed but resolutely kept her face calm "I'm being friendly is all, El." she said, almost defensive. She wasn't upset or unflattering but felt a little like she was being set up. Although she knew it was ridiculous, even her mother could not influence Lady Harcourt...
Elodie had been reading for a while when she heard someone moving towards her. Glancing up from her book she saw El, or Eliza she supposed wandering over towards her. Elodie smiled as she approached, resolved to be friendly at least. She hadn't been around to see the rest of Eliza's night, she...
Elodie fell asleep easily that night in fact she had almost fallen asleep while her maid had been unpinning her hair. A combination of feeling the travel, the drama of the previous evening. She woke naturally fairly early in the morning opening her curtains to let the already bright sun in...
Inside the ballroom servants started to clean up, candles were put out and food cleared up. Small boxes of fruit, cheeses and breads were delivered to each room in case the intoxicated inhabitants needed food throughout the night. Once this started, Lady Harcourt arrived in the room. At the...
The smile she got in return only made Elodie feel more comfortable, feel warm "I suppose it would not be, although I suppose I am to find out." she concedes but the smile never leaves her lips. Despite the cold wind, now gently blowing through the gardens she is not cold. It feels as though the...

Elodie let herself be led out of the ballroom. As soon as they walked outside a nice cool breeze washed over her, and she found herself grateful her hair was up. She hadn't realised how warm the ballroom had gotten. She followed as Vincent led, taking them further into the gardens than...

Elodie was feeling comfortable. She was not swooning, or deeply in love but she was comfortable with Vincent and she found herself basking in the feeling a little. From feeling like she was going to meet her doom to being comfortable was enough for her for a few hours. On top of...

Elodie watched as Vincent ate, glad he was finally getting some food. He had been gone for close to an hour and she had been a little concerned at that. Working all night would not have been relaxing, she assumed. She flushes a light pink when he leans in, and the blush stays at his...
Elodie picks a cocktail at random and begins sipping on it, humming in pleasure at the taste. She toasts with Frankie, and smirks as he reveals his opinion of the french. She \does not see Vincent approach, but whips her head around as she hears him speak french. She knew his name sounded...
Lady Harcourt frowned, considering the note "I understand this is all intimidating but it will cause great offence to your intended's family if you pull out before meeting him. " Lady harcourt finished the tea in one gulp, placing the cup on the table and standing "One week, and if at the end...
Lady Harcourt nodded, and read over the note "I wished to bring you aside to ask how it went. Your intended is quite a strong willed man, and handsome certainly. But he has . . . a reputation." she paused, taking a sip of her tea and seemingly thinking on what to say next. She seems to find the...
Elodie let the man work, content to watch as he carefully created to cocktails, looking at each and deciding which she would most like to try. The man had clearly been having quite the day, and like her was in an unfamiliar environment. She began eating though, starting with the bread and meat...
Lady Harcourt kept herself busy with preparing a cup of tea for herself, while Melissa wrote on the paper, and gave the girl a moment to gather her thoughts. To be honest, this match was the one that she was most dubious about. Melissa had her illness to think of, and her family did not care...
