The London social Season of 1811 is well underway and all the diversions it supplies are entertaining the haute ton. The men are coming in from their country seats to sit in Parliament and the women are bringing their unmarried daughters with them. But as all ladies know, catching a husband is all well and good, but certainly not at the expense of one's reputation! Will you be a matchmaking mama, a marriage shy gentleman, or a gossip monger intent on bringing everyone down? Anything can happen; it's the London life!

Character

Francis Hopkins-Lawrence
Played by Liz
Bumbling, obnoxious, and foolish are all words that describe Mr. H-L, eldest son of Viscount Thorton. His one saving grace is that he truly is a well meaning man. Unfortunately, he has a dreadful habit of falling in love with women who are absolutely not interested (exhibit A: Lady Viola Fitzgerald). This habit, coupled with a sporadic white knight complex, has gotten Francis into some sticky situations, including a duel with the Marquess of Emerson.

Player

Aida
Longtime member Aida is the writer of some of LL's most well known and adored characters. She's "earnestly in love with Oscar Wilde" and we're earnestly in love with her! Get to know her characters (Mr. Brett, an artist; Lady Gwendolyn Moncrieff and her brother, the Marquess of Avening; Captain Sterne, our resident rake, and his sister Lady Jane Middleton; and Miss Wriothesley) and we're sure you'll love her too! Thanks for playing, Aida!

Peer Group: Members Posts: 290 Member No.: 14 Joined: 26-April 08	I believe I had Daphne decline an invitation because of a coinciding soiree? I suppose since she and Lilias are friends, she would attend? Lady Emerson is delighted to accept on behalf of her Clan, including the Misses Pritchard and Hampton. Viscountess Tessington will gladly attend, and is extremely excited about the masque ball. Unfortunately, Lord Tessington will be away on business and sends his compliments. -------------------- thank you aida. Elise wears: Puffed sleeved empire gown with cream bodice and red turkish printed skirt. Large red ribbon bow at the side of her head.
