Beatrice was very excited for the bridal shower and for an opportunity to see all of the society ladies in a group for the first time since her return from the United States (where she was taking care of her sick great-aunt, who married into a pureblood American family). She wore her greatly discussed coral sundress and a floppy sun hat! She would have been her usual bubbly self, and made a point to speak to everyone she could, answering questions about her spring spent in the United States. Beatrice would have offered Madeline a big hug and here sincere congratulations, and then Evangeline her thanks for hosting such a lovely, wonderful event!
