As she was in, the drawing room— there was a suitor who had given her a gift just like many others had, "many dismiss his work as childish, but i see it as a beauty— playful even" the lord tells her, and she watched with a smile while Penelope— who was visiting— was sitting with Eloise at some other chairs while they had a quiet conversation as her mama watches Ester and the caller with a polite smile
"Speaking of childish, how many children do you wish for my lord?" Ester asks in interest, "oh maybe one or two, as long as i have a boy, i don't care how many" the caller says— Ester went to go make comment, but Eloise snorts, "Eloise Bridgerton! My apologies lord debuke" their mama says as Ester looked at Eloise while her caller sideeyed Eloise before looking back at him
"I adore children very much, my lord— i suppose it's because of my large family" she tells him with a polite smile but when he checked the time with a pocket watch, he stood up from his seat, "i should be going, good day miss bridgerton, lady Bridgerton" the man says as he puts on his hat before departing as he bowed his head, her mama and Ester bid him goodbye as well whilst Eloise looked glad he had left
As now Ester was, practicing the piano forte, Eloise and Penelope were having a more louder conversation than the last, "on the right of the fairer sex i was hoping for but—" Eloise went to say to Penelope, "come now, i believe lady Whistledown has changed her style of writing since her last issue" Penelope cuts Eloise's words off— the conversation makes Ester look over at them lightly before returning to her light playing of the piano, "perhaps not. But perhaps she still can." Eloise argues back
"Perhaps she does not want to, perhaps she is quite content. And if she's even sparked your renewed interest, el, then perhaps whatever she is doing is working" Penelope argues back again, "yes, but she could do so much more. I know i could convince her of it, if i were to find her this time" Eloise says, and before Ester could interject, her mama beat her too it, "what you must find my dear, is happiness. Penelope, assist me here, Eloise could find that with someone else, could she not?" Their mama asks of Penelope
"i believe she could, and not lady whistledown, but someone more like— colin" Penelope replies, "Colin?" Ester asks before seeing her one and only brother enter the drawing room, making her stop as she brightens up, "Colin!!" Penelope exclaims as she stands up, "glad to see things have not changed" colin says, "brother!" Eloise, Ester, and Benedict— who was in the room on the couches, all say in different expressions
