An evening of romance and intrigue

Where revelry unfolds with each passing hour

"

This author has been observing the preparations for one 'Regency Ball' with great interest. Word has it that the evening unfolds in three distinct acts: first, guests may expect tea, a generous buffet, and dance instruction from professional performers as horse and carriage rides circle the grounds. As the hour advances, garden entertainments and live musical performances give way to a most dramatic pistol exhibition at sunset. When the ball commences in earnest, dancing shall fill the manor well into the night, culminating in the crowning of the Diamond of the Summer. One recommends securing invitations promptly, as such affairs rarely have vacancies.
