Thank you for the new blog. It’s off to a great start!

I can’t help but wonder: Was Lady B a real person? Or a composite of real persons? Or partly or purely fictional?

Keep up the good work!

Such an interesting question! Are you perhaps a bluestocking? I love having bluestockings in my ballroom. Always provide fascinating conversation!

Thank you, Your Ladyship. Did I get the form of address correct? We former colonials can be a bit careless about such formalities.

To answer your question: If I were as smart, witty, and resourceful as the real bluestockings were, I’d be much better off than I am now!

Whatever your origins are—in fiction, fact, or both—you run a most amusing, entertaining, and thought-stimulating establishment. I’m sure we’re all looking forward to future visits!

P. S.: I can’t help but wonder: How’d you get named after a flower? Is there a story in there? Do tell!

Oh, my dance card is full already!!! I can’t wait to waltz with that rogue of a Duke.
Congratulations to all you lovely ladies on a great launch.

  Many thanks, Your Grace in Denim. I do hope you enjoy your waltz. (I myself am particularly fond of rogues, of course!)
