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.

"Well, did he have work?" Gabrielle asked quietly.

Adelaide nodded. "Yes, perhaps that is what's keeping him," she said softly before sipping her champagne.

Adelaide looked eagerly at the door to the ballroom, as if suddenly expecting him to appear. When he didn't she sighed and her lips formed into a frown. "Yes, hopefully," she said faintly.

"Adelaide, shall we go check in with the nurses?" Gabrielle suggested.

Adelaide stopped looking about the room for Francis and turned her attention back to Gabrielle. "Why?" she asked gently. "Do you not feel well, dear? Perhaps you have had to much champagne. I could finish that glass for you, if you'd like."

"Well, champagne isn't my drink. But I meant for you. Francis would not have insisted on them being here if he didn't think you might have need of them." She put the half-empty glass onto a tray of passing servant, and he went away.

Adelaide pouted as Gabrielle placed her drink onto the servant's tray. She was about to try to take it for herself, but the servant was gone before she could. Turning back to Gabrielle she sighed. "I suppose you are right," she said gently. "But I do not feel I need them now. I think they are a bit too overbearing for my taste."

She nodded gently. "Yes, they are. They should learn to be more ladylike."

Adelaide sipped at her champagne again in silence for a few moments before sighing. She looked around the room slowly, before turning back to Gabrielle. Whatever they had been talking about she had forgotten. "It is a shame that Francis is no longer with us, he enjoyed events such as this," she said gently before sighing. "I feel the crowds are not my taste, though."

Gabrielle nodded in agreement. "Yes. Francis would have enjoyed this event greatly."

"And are you enjoying it?" Adelaide asked before finishing her champagne. She looked around for a tray of full glasses, but seeing none nearby she settled her lifeless gaze back upon Gabrielle for the moment.

Gabrielle nodded. "Oh, yes, Adelaide. I enjoy it ever so much. Are you enjoying it?"

Adelaide gave a small shrug. "Perhaps," she said uncertainly. "It is strange to be out in such a large crowd," she admitted before casting a nervous glance around the room.

"Well, this is how we met. But it is strange, once you stop going out to go out again."

Adelaide nodded in agreement. "Yes, it is strange," she admitted softly. "And perhaps frightening," she added. For a moment she looked down in silence before adding in a soft voice, "I often forget how much the circumstances have changed since we have met."

She nodded. "We both have lost the men in our lives."

"It is truly a shame," Adelaide said before taking another full glass of champagne from a tray when a servant passed them.

Gabrielle nodded sadly, and took the glass from Adelaide and put it back on the tray. "I miss my papa greatly, as I'm sure you miss your husband."

Adelaide pouted as Gabrielle took the glass from her hand, just as she had been about to bring it to her lips. Glaring for a moment she sighed. "I miss my champagne too," she said faintly before shaking her head. "I miss all of my husbands," she admitted. "But I feel Francis is who I miss the most."

Adelaide nodded in agreement before smiling a little. "But enough of this talk," she said gently. "We are here to have fun, are we not?" she said before glancing around. "We should have some champagne to celebrate."

Gabrielle shook her head. "We shall have fun with no champagne. You've hit your limit."

Adelaide pouted as she gave Gabrielle a stubborn look. "I shall tell every man in here to ask you to dance," she said with a dark smirk. "That way I can enjoy a glass or two of champagne while you fend them all off."

"If you do, I shall tell the nurses and Francis." She said, putting her hands on her hips and looking at her mistress stubbornly.
