London—Spring 1811
Henry Vaughn, Viscount North, awoke and rang for his valet. Ripley
arrived soon after with hot water, first shaving Henry and then assisting him
in dressing. He made his way down to the breakfast room, knowing he
would find his parents there despite the ball they had hosted ending in the
wee hours of the morning. Neither his father nor mother liked to lie abed,
and Henry greeted them as he entered the room and went straight to the
sideboard, placing eggs and ham on his plate before taking his usual seat at
the table.
“My, our ball will be talked about throughout the Season,” Mama
remarked. “Thanks to the Duke of Westfield’s proposal to Lady Margaret
Townsend.”
Henry had danced with Lady Margaret and even called upon her twice,
finding her rather interesting. He wasn’t sure, though, about her desire to
paint others in Polite Society. Because of that, he had shied away, sending
her flowers but not certain he wished to court her.
The Duke of Westfield, on the other hand, had taken the proverbial bull
by the horns and made his intentions quite clear with a public declaration in
front of the entire ton in the Strumbull ballroom last night. Henry knew the
first dance was not supposed to be a waltz and had been looking about,
curious as to why the musicians began playing one. When he saw Westfield
take Lord Audley’s place and began dancing with Lady Margaret, Henry
had an idea His Grace had somehow had a hand in the change of music.
Sure enough, Henry stopped dancing with his partner—as did every
other couple in the ballroom—watching an incredible scene unfold. The
duke wanted to wed Lady Margaret and she obviously was having none of
it. Henry couldn’t hear quite everything His Grace said, but he saw the look
in Lady Margaret’s eyes and knew the duke was swaying her opinion.
Then Westfield had dropped to one knee and proclaimed his love for the
lady. She had accepted his offer of marriage. Rising, the Duke of Westfield
had embraced his new fiancée and given her a kiss the likes of which no
one had ever seen in public before. It was long, passionate, and truth be
told, made Henry just a bit jealous, seeing how much this man loved this
woman.
