The Social Whirlwind by Sieur Matheus Mallette
Unsurprisingly, the Grand Ducs Chevreuse and de Bearne attend all three Royal Balls with their wives. They were joined in the second and third weeks by Lord and Lady Balls. Wit and dancing were as exceptional as expected but Lady de Bearne’s lack of finishing was readily apparent.
Lord and Lady Balls attended the opening night of The Good Docteur at the Theater Royal. Captain Buisson with Mlle Favre and Mssr de Henri also attended and were welcomed at the opening night party hosted by Lord Balls at the Fleur-de-Lys.
The Saint Denis Stakes was lightly attended this year. Only Lords Balls and de Bearne were in attendance at the event. Lord and Lady Bougiedure visited the theater instead.

A Romantic Interlude by Comtessa Yvonne De Villepin
I bring you tidings of Great News. It has been confirmed by the Royal Physician that Her Majesty, Queen Anne, is pregnant! There is much rejoicing at the Lourve over the prospect of the arrival of a royal heir in the fall.
Lady Balls, after fainting at the Royal Ball in the third week of February, gave birth to another healthy baby girl.
Mdm De’Ath spent the month appearing on stage at the Theater Royale.
Mssr de Henri visited the bawdyhouse before visiting Mlle Jaccoud. The lady was willing to overlook the young man’s dubious past and has entered into a relationship with him.
