While we walk through the foyer, we meet...
Lady Sukey Mendenwood
I am the elder sister of the seventh Marquis of Mendenwood. I have heard tell that my grandnephew and niece were invited to this ball by Miss Darcy and have come in hopes of meeting them.

Behold! it is Mr Darcy in conversation with Mr Bingley near the doorway.
He turns as you approach.
What do you dare say?
