"Get up" Georgina shouts as she jumps and down. Arabella has no choice but to wake up from the rocking queen size bed. "Will you stop that!" Arabella bites back and pushes her off the bed.

The light turns on and shows an apartment size apartment bathroom. The walls are a light blue, just like her bedroom. The details of it such as the bathtub, toilet and the designs itself in a golden color. The light shines in from the windows above.

It's such a good thing that the room itself has such lighting since Arabella only has to use the electric lights at night. Georgina starts the bath and makes the water hot enough for a good steam.

It must be a girl thing they have assumed. Their elder brother, Fitzwilliam likes a cooler temperature. The sisters would consider his taste, lukewarm at best and cold at worst. After the bath it doesn't take much longer for Arabella to get dressed. 373Please respect copyright.PENANAP9CvJ89wR4

Pattie coats, the camisole, the corset and the dress itself. It is completely easy for her with Georgina's help. They Thank God that the fashion of the day is not the same as their mother's. All the layers and frocks weigh you down in their opinion. 373Please respect copyright.PENANAWGlarMZjh5

Once finished they head down to the private dinning hall. Their mother was there in a light blue high waisted dress and her brown hair was pinned up into a nice bun. "Come and eat" Miranda says as she points to the two seats to her left. It sounds like an indentation but it isn't. 373Please respect copyright.PENANAzvWjxPmZJw

"You girls were taking you're sweet time getting dressed" Fitzwilliam the eldest of the Darcys walked in. He wore a simple white shirt and pantaloons. "Yet they dressed better than you" Miranda complains to Fitzwilliam. He in turn just waves her off and says "I am in the privacy of my own home". 373Please respect copyright.PENANAxByrt4Ks2K

Miranda just raises an eyebrow in reposne, "Not for much longer you won't be" The way Fitzwilliam's eyes go wide as he shuffles in his chair. "What are you talking about, Mother?" That is the question the girls have and want an answer for. They were to shocked to speak and whom could blame them. 373Please respect copyright.PENANAoMHjzZlrJU

"The Royal Family of Avalor is coming" and surprising Arabella speaks first. "Whatever reason are they coming?" All three of them look at Arabella in disbelief.

In all true regards she couldn't care less about the event. The entire Ton obsess over the entire season. As if they do not have lives of their owns to live. Which they do not, not any of the women. They are much more like an item to be sold than anything. No rights, no respect, their most important job being to birth an heir. 373Please respect copyright.PENANAnh5N3RoHJk

"Yes, that would be a good reason indeed" Miranda smiles at Georgina. Arabella knows that she had omitted something. She can tell because her mother nose wrinkles when she does so. Just as Arabella herself plays with braclet when nervous.

Fitzwilliam head snaps and his face turn from a pale color to beet red in the face. "You did what?". Georgina grabs Fitzwilliam hand, "That is unimportant".
