Baylor had been up in Scotland for an investment over bigger parts for the off season, otherwise most of his time was spent preparing his sister for her debut in society. The way she had presented herself to the Queen so nervously, it had disappointed Baylor to some extent. While he would have liked her to have been the diamond, that did not matter most. He main worry was how this somewhat failed introduction in society would affect her changes. He knew he needed to see to her at least getting some attention from the gentlemen at the grand opening ball. In this moment however, he could not wait to speak to Lady Dorothea Addington. It had been weeks since they had last spoken, due to happenings and his other occupations. He always enjoyed spending time with her however, and he was looking forward to doing more of that over the course of the season, as he was now less distracted by everything else.
As soon as Baylor noticed her, he walked over and greeted her with a nod and words: “Lady Dorothea, it has been quite some time.” He noticed the stunning dress she was wearing as he gave a genuine smile. “Your choice of attire is exquisite this day, it complements your beauty wonderfully.” Baylor hoped giving a small compliment, would be something she liked to hear and boost her confidence for the ball. "I hope you and your family have been in good health and high spirits?” Usually these type of questions were mere formality, but Baylor had a genuine curiosity for the well-being of Dorothea’s parents, for he had often spoken to them and spent time with Dorothea in the Addington estate. More importantly however, he cared about Dorothea’s health and spirits.
