After receiving a swarm of suitors at her Uncle's London house the morning after the Cowper Ball, Aurora was entirely exhausted and felt that if she so much as spoke to another potential suitor she would most likely end up punching them.
It was with this somewhat frustrated emotion that she declared to her temporary guardians that she would be spending the rest of the day at the Bridgerton's, accompanied by her former governess.
Her aunt and uncle had been most pleased to help her in vacating the possible suitors from their home and took great pleasure in slamming the doors once they had left.
"I await your brothers arrival with absolute joy, my dear." Proclaimed her aunt. "They will see to it that those paupers are not admitted into this house again."
It was clear to Aurora that many members of her family were not entirely happy with the prospect of her marrying one of the Ton.
"May we be off to the Bridgerton House then, aunt?" Replied Aurora, desperate to vent her annoyance to Daphne.
"Of course my dear. And do tell your governess she needn't stay whilst you're there. I'll send the carriage to pick you up at seven."
"Very well aunt."
And with that Aurora was finally able to leave the sitting room she had grown to loathe over the past five hours.

"I saw Lord Crane took quite a shine to Eloise at the ball." Remarked Aurora.
Daphne looked up from where she had been playing on the piano.
"Do not say that too loudly or she'll have your ear off. You know how Eloise is when it comes to marriage."
Aurora simpler in sympathy.
"She is still young. You need not worry too much for now. I believe she will marry eventually and besides, it is not such a bad thing her becoming more intellectually gifted. This past year of study has improved me greatly."
Daphne sighed.
"Perhaps you are right Aurora. I shall be more accepting of her decisions in the future."
Aurora stood up from her seat by the piano and flopped down onto one of the sofas.
"She can always come stay with me. I fear we are rather similar, perhaps my influence might be - no. No I imagine my influence will be most unhelpful."
Daphne chuckled. "I shall ask Mama, perhaps she will consider it."
At this their conversation was cut short by Anthony Bridgerton's dramatic entrance into the room.
"Daph your husband is impossible, he has been lecturing me on marriage this past hour! As if he wasn't so opposed to it less than a year ago!"
