LADY Whistledown LADY WHISTLEDOWN'S SOCIETY PAPERS: 20 April; 1814 THE SUBJECT OF RAKES!
ANTHONY BRIDGERTON IS A RAKE
-----The topic of rakes has, of course, been previously discussed in this column, and This Author has come to the conclusion that there are rakes, and there are Rakes.
-----Anthony Bridgerton is a Rake.
-----A rake (lower-case) is youthful and immature. He flaunts his exploits, behaves with utmost idiocy, and thinks himself dangerous to women.
-----A Rake (upper-case) knows he is dangerous to women.
-----He doesn't flaunt his exploits because he doesn't need to. He knows he will be whispered about by men and women alike, and in fact, he'd rather they didn't whisper about him at all. He knows who he is and what he has done; further recountings are, to him, redundant.
-----He doesn't behave like an idiot for the simple reason that he isn't an idiot (any moreso than must be expected among all members of the male gender). He has little patience for the foibles of society and quite frankly, most of the time This Author cannot say she blames him.
-----And if that doesn't describe Viscount Bridgerton -- surely this season's more eligibly bachelor -- to perfection, This Author shall retire Her quill immediately. The only question is: Will 1814 be the season he finally succumbs to the exquisite bliss of matrimony.
-----This Author Thinks . . .Not.

LADY Whistledown LADY WHISTLEDOWN'S SOCIETY PAPERS: 22 April; 1814 THE HARTSIDE BALL!
VISCOUNT BRIDGERTON'S STARTLING BEHAVIOR
-----At the Hartside ball Wednesday night, Viscount Bridgerton was seen dancing with more than one eligible young lady. This behavior can only be termed "startling" as Bridgerton normally avoids proper young misses with a perseverance that would be impressive were it not so utterly frustrating to all marriage-minded Mamas.
-----Can it be that the viscount read This Author's most recent column and, in that perverse manner all males of the species seem to endorse, decided to prove This Author wrong?
-----It may seem that This Author is ascribing to herself far more importance than She actually wields, but men have certainly made decisions based on far, far less.
