Ah, yes. The main event. Do you join Charlotte in a very special contest? Did you watch? Because Charlotte and the players made it very entertaining.
What is harlot's poker, you ask? Well, you see Charlotte doesn't really have money yet. Rather than playing strip poker (too obvious) this is a game with a special spin. Each round you gamble away part of your outer layer of clothes, but once you're down to your skivvies, you have to start putting on harlot's clothes. The losers will end up in a corset (which Charlotte will lace up just tight enough), badly put on dress, wig and makeup (which Charlotte will give you).
Look, people were pretty drunk at this point. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
How harloted up did you get? Did you end up in a dress? Wig? Don't think about what makeup was made from in the 1760s. You can google that later. Just wash your face really good the next day. Seriously.
Charlotte, for her part, put on your clothes, had to take down her hair and wash off her face to try to look "modern". Isn't cultural exchange great?
