[Matilda Ramsbury]

Tilly was sitting in the drawing-room of Lansdowne House, sipping tea and scanning through the pages of the latest Lady Whistledown. She had never been prone to gossip but there was something about the way that Whistledown put words together that made things interesting. She rarely wrote about the Marchioness and when she did, Tilly couldn't help but laugh at the shallow things that were mentioned once in a while.

"I wish you could come to Lady Cowper's ball tonight. At least it wouldn't be so dull and boring. I hate those things." Tilly complained to Mirela, who had arrived promptly at four o'clock as they had settled the previous day. She put down the gossip parchment and continued: "Only thing that is keeping me curious is this rather scandalous information she supposedly has about one of the guests. Any idea who that could be?"

There were many possibilites, Whistledown had many targets those days so taking a guess would be like a gambling night at a gentlemen's club.

"As long as it is not about me, I don't have a problem with her. She seems to leave me alone most of the time, proof that I'm not as interesting as many people think."
Tilly's gentle laugh filled the drawing room as she poured Mirela more tea. "You must help me get ready for this dreadful evening, please dear Mirela! But first, a penny for your thoughts."
