Bridgerton Garden Promenade

Dearest Gentle Reader,

It has come to this author’s attention that the most anticipated affair of the season is soon to grace our fair library grounds. Whispers float upon the spring air of a Bridgerton Garden Promenade so enchanting that even the most distinguished members of the Ton are already selecting their finest attire.

Those who choose to attend may expect an afternoon of delightful garden games, refreshments, and social encounters that would make even Lady Danbury raise an approving brow. Lemonade, tea, and sparkling conversation shall flow freely. And let us not neglect the opportunities for the gentlemen to impress the debutantes with their skill in archery and friendly gentleman’s duels, conducted with all the decorum befitting the season.

But the true talk of the town? A rumor, no, a promise, that Her Majesty the Queen herself intends to grace the festivities with her presence. One can only imagine the elegance and the potential for scandal. It is said that Her Majesty has recently developed a fondness for a most unorthodox amusement. Guests may find themselves invited to observe, or attempt, a genteel contest of hatchet‑casting, a test of poise and precision for the boldest among us.

Therefore, consider this your official summons. Polish your manners, perfect your promenade, and prepare to be seen.

For in this season, dear reader, nothing is more fashionable than being in attendance.

Yours truly,   Lady Whistledown
