The Diary of a Regency Lady - E-book - ePub

A witty and entertaining portrait of society documented by A Regency Lady. Life, even in the provinces, can be entertaining if only one has the means with which to enjoy it. But since my jewels spend more time in town than I do - albeit at the pawnbroker - I am forced to be more than a little resourceful. With visits from my charming but wayward younger sister Georgiana, who has made an art form of losing chaperones, a mother-in-law who would not dream of interfering and house guests who all too often outstay their welcome, I hardly have the time to strive for self improvement but I am determined to add to my accomplishments and therefore be more interesting than my neighbours and certainly more fascinating than my Treasured Spinster Friend Susan Simmons - not difficult as she is NINE and TWENTY and still a SPINSTER.
So this year I intend to embark upon a path of reading, travel and mixing with Harrogate's circle of Artistic Types. A lady must always make an effort to add another string to her bow no matter how pressed for time - or coin - she may be. If only there was a legacy in the offing ... The Diary of a Regency Lady - a fresh and amusing take on a modern Regency marriage.
