The ballroom at Pineview Hall was just about large enough for the number of guests invited, and Iris Capper had ordered the doors onto the garden opened as well to help deal with any overflow, and to keep the temperature down. Everything was set, from light freshments to the music - and her three eldest children all turned out in their best dress robes. The hidden agenda for the evening was getting her youngest daughter, Bryony, to socialise with some appropriate people. Iris had managed the guest list personally and had ensured that no one was invited of whom she did not approve - though of course she couldn't control who her guests chose to bring with them...
Iris, Shauna and Allegra were all on watch, to make sure Bryony danced with the right people and didn't make too huge a fool of herself. Iris was pleased that Bryony looked almost presentable, for once, after her trip to Hardd Knut and wearing the midnight blue robes Iris had picked out. As the old grandfather clock struck seven, Iris lifted the more stringent of the wards. She would still be alerted whenever anyone entered or exited, but there would be no need for her guests to walk all the way from the boundary of the property.
*(OOC: I'm basing the evening more or less on these dance rules - note particularly that men are expected to dance with anyone their hostess asks them to. Iris Capper will be abusing the privilege.)
