ORP: I genuinley forgot to answer these, sorry Bluey
Lady Willoughby! Oh she’s a dear friend to my sister and therefore I only think the best of her. Although she is handicaped when it comes to eyesight, she has braved on like a soldier and made the very best of what she was given in life. With all the talk about my great grandfather being awesome and great for taking an opportunity and using it to rise from rags to riches, I think Bridget might be entitled to more awe than he is. She was not given an opportunity, but had something society thinks essential taken away from her and she is determined to not let it ruin her life.
I consider Bridget to be my best friend. I just love helping her, although she’s grown so much she needs no help from me. She is now so independent, which is odd, becuase you’d assume a woman with a disabillity would depend on others to live a normal life, but not Bridget. She needs nobody. Still, I’m there for her even though she doesn’t need my help, I offer it, so she doesn’t have to deal with everything herself although she is capable of doing it.
I’ve not had the pleasure of meeting her, but I daresay it will be a pleasure once I’ve met her because people talk about her in the same way they talk about me, which gives me hope to having another close friend soon.
We haven’t been introduced yet, but I have no doubt like any other lady I’ve met, she would be charming and entertaining. I’ve heard talk she is simmilar to my sister, but I wouldn’t trust gossips, not after what was gossiped about my own family.
Lord Davis’ family is on good terms with my own and I have a fondness to the family. That being said, I don’t share the same fondness for Lord Harrison Davis himself, becuase I do not agree with his lifestyle or his choice of friends. However, nothing is set in stone and those opinions might change with time.
Lord Davis and his family are all good friends of our families and of mine. I cannot talk on the subject of Lord Harrison Davis himself for I don’t know him as of late, considering the fact he’s been away for a long time and I fear I’ve lost touch with him and haven’t yet seen him to notice how he’s changed in his time away. However I have no doubt he is more clever now that he’s finished his education.
Mr. Blackwood is a very closed off person and I don’t know enough about him to pass judgement, I only disagree with his choice of company. The only thing I know is that he’s a well traveled man, which is something that fascinates me, and I would love to get to know him better and hear all the stories of his travels.
Mr. Corin Blackwood is a shy and often unreachable man, which is a shame as I’d love to talk to him and prove myself to be different than what his family’s opinion is of me. Putting this issue of familial dislike, I think he would be the type of man to appreaciate my sister as she should be appreaciated, and I find it a shame he thinks less of her becuase of her last name, and I fear he’ll never see the angel that she is becuase of his closed off nature.
I’m afraid I haven’t yet met her, and I cannot allow myself to pass judgement about a woman purely based on gossip. Somebody already judge me withouth knowing anything about me and decided to hate me, only to decide otherwise once they’ve actually met me. I wouldn’t allow myself to do that mistake considering our own person history is there to teach us how to conduct ourselves in the future.
I think we should all be so kind as to not mention her name as much as we do. Let the poor girl grieve in peace. As somebody who is often among society and around gentlemen and ladies, I hear her name in such rude manners. A woman who has loved and lost should not be treated thus, but with compassion and understanding. Not only do I know what it is like to lose somebody so dear to you, but I also know what it’s like to be gossiped about it and vulgar insinuations. I cannot participate in the same thing that once hurt me and my family.
Duchess Belle Rose Fleur of Burgundy is a good friend to me. She’s outspoken and smart and still feminine and brave to act like that in this time and age. I hope one day the world will be feel with women who don’t need to be brave to express themselves how they wish, and I wish to be like her. I might also add how she dresses first inspired me to love history as much as I do. She might not be everybody’s idea of feminine or brave, but she certainly is mine.
Her Grace is an outspoken individual. She always speaks her mind which can be a breath of fresh air as I’m often subjected to a company where passive agression and judgmental looks are the language they choose to communicate with. I admire how I don’t need to wonder if Belle thinks of me a certain way, she would always say it out loud. Sadly such outspoken nature is often percieved as rude, but I believe if everybody said what they thought they would be tenfold as rude as they say she is. It’s a pity she doesn’t think well of me and doesn’t enjoy my company, but I adore it when I’m with my sister and she takes me along to visit Duchess Fleur.
Yes I do. I want as many as I can have or can afford to have. I just know I would be able to love them so well. I hope to marrying a smart or stern woman so that she could keep them in line becuase when it comes to me … I have to say It’d be hard for me not to spoil them rotten. But when it comes to children, if I cannot have one the natural way, I’m not hesitant to adopt.
Well I don’t want a house full of children like my brother does, but I wouldn’t be impartial to having one or two. I would be able to teach them everything I know and maybe they can teach me something new they’ve learnd in turn. I hope, if I do have children, they would be boys, as I don’t think I have the strenght to explain to my daughter why she has no propper opportunities in the world and all becuase she was born as a certain gender. How would I explain to her that even though I love her very being, the world thinks of her as a machine that has two functions … working and breeding. It would break my heart to bring a woman into a world that’s so harsh to survive in for women. I wouldn’t mind being a teacher or a governess, in fact I plan to be so if I don’t marry.
