Comtess Yvonne De Villepin – A Romantic Interlude
A new year and time for the delayed Debutantes Ball with the attendance of Lord Bougiedure and Lieutenant de l'Hopital but not I am glad to say Doctor D'Eath who was not invited and has only himself to blame for the fact!!! Lord Bougiedure charmed all the ladies as usual although he chose not to court this month and perhaps he can't be judged negatively for that but one hopes his heart will mend enough for him to find a young lady more suitable of his loyalties!!! Poor old Lieutenant de l'Hopital though and in some ways you have to give him credit for having the gumption to turn up at all considering his apparent lack of experience in a formal setting but still you have to feel sorry for poor Mlle Chabert who accepted a dance with Lieutenant de l'Hopital and soon came to regret it as the good Lieutenant tripped over his own pantaloons and brought the dancing pair crashing to the crown, pulling a tablecloth of food down on top of them at the same time!!! Nobody can say Lieutenant de l'Hopital isn't game however as he was seen attempting to pay court to Mlle Chaubert later that month although her servants apparently claimed she was out and would be for the foreseeable future!!! Elsewhere, I am glad to see Mlle Valanon and Baron Bonnett enjoying themselves at the engagement party and that Lieutenant de l'Hopital and Subaltern Hoffman turned up to pay their respects, it seems the happy couple have much respect in the military profession!!! While the de la Azurs was unable to make it themselves but did send some rather nice fondant fancies which the couple I am sure will greatly enjoy and we all look forward to the wedding next month!!! The newest addition to the Balls family was welcomed into the world with an impressive Christening and I'm sure having a godfather as well loved and respected as Lord Bougidure will give young Charlotte a great start in life although I would say to the Balls that it is not generally customary to get quite so tired and emotional at Christening Parties! I do hope they enjoyed the company of Subaltern Hoffman and the princess doll from the de la Azurs was very sweet and the Christening Medallion and jewellery box from the godparents was remarkable in its craftsmanship!!! Finally I hear Doctor D'Eath is the new resident doctor at the Lady's Slipper and perhaps it is best he pays young ladies for the company at the present time rather than inflicting himself on them without compensation.
