For days Philipa had been attending event after event with no suitors even looking at her.  The only reason there were callers at their home was for Marina.  All the years she had been learning ways to be a proper lady were a waste for one man looked her way and sooner or later she was probably going to end up in an arranged marriage with a man she didn't love but profited her family.  That thought was in her mind at tonight's event and pushed her over the edge into a dark mood. 

She had wandered away from the party and found her way into a study where the lord of the house kept a fine supply of liquor.  Helping herself she found some to taste horrible but she soon found one that had a pleasing taste.  Taking that bottle in hand she continued to wander around the house drinking.  

Standing in the doorway quietly watching the party she finished the bottle then noticed a pretty blonde watching her.  I am sorry, its too late.  I drank it all.  None left to share.
