An Invitation to the French Ambassador's Ball
Subject: The Ambassadors Ball
Where: The French Embassy
Who: Léon Belmont, the French Ambassador to the English court
Warnings: none as yet
Open to: All (all players may attend either as invited guests of the ambassador, as servants or guests of those invited, as staff, or as gate-crashers.)

The ballroom of the Embassy was already growing busy, and when Citizen Belmont paused for a moment besides one of the large windows, he could see yet more carriages pulling up outside, wreathed in the mist blowing in from the river.

The quartet had been playing now for a good half an hour, new French tunes as well as those the English favoured. His staff was busy handing out good French wine, and then refilling those glasses when they were drained.

It was going to be a good evening, and not only in the eyes of the party-goers. With some of England’s most prominent aristos on the guest list, and some than some newly arrived French nationals, tonight would be a night of information gathering, of sizing up the opposition, and perhaps even ensuring some of those French escapees were returned to face justice.

Still reeling from the confrontation with her husband Amandine stomped around the ballroom hoping that her ladyship would soon be wanting to leave, as Amandine was desperate to escape. How dare he think he could talk to her like she was nothing? Though she should have been used to it: they had had many arguments during their past twelve months of marriage and it was a tumultuous relationship. Yes, she might not be as well behaved as the rich women who had been born and bred in wealth but that was not why he had married her!

In her temper she did not see the man infront take a champagne glass nor notice she was to bump into his side and almost send the drink all over him.

"Oh! I am so sorry, Monsieur, I do apologise..." she said quickly, trying her best at English just in case and hoping she did not have to mop anything up.
