Finally, the tea party arrived, with no conditions.
All the ladies invited today were clearly dolled up, wearing the finest and most expensive outfits in their collections. Their jewelry sparkled, their handbags exquisite. Though they usually dressed up every day, it was obvious that today was something special.
Even Celestine had added extra rings to her fingers, and gems worth millions dangled from her ears.
"I was very excited when I heard Mrs. Bennet had already accepted the invitation," one lady mused, excitement gleaming in her eyes. "I wonder what she looks like."
"Melissa said Mrs. Bennet is young and beautiful," another added. "It's a shame there's nothing about her that I could find."
It wasn't just the internet. They had all used their connections to learn more about Mrs. Bennet. They wanted to know her likes, her dislikes, anything that could give them a head start. But there was nothing.
