Evelyn Richardson
“Kitty, though highly excited at the thought of her first ball, was beset by all the ordinary fears of a young lady making her first entrance into the adult world of fashion. Would she know how to go on? She had been able to dance delightfully with Ned and her dancing master, but performing complicated steps with one's brother in one's own empty drawing room was a good deal different from executing them with a total stranger in a crowded ballroom under hundreds of critical eyes. Would she be pre...tty enough to attract the attention of anyone at all? Fortunately her brown eyes and shining brown curls were in vogue, brunettes being all the rage at the moment. What would she ever say to everyone? She was confiding this rapidly increasing list of worries to Lady Frances as the two awaited the arrival of the dressmaker at the Cresswells'. This was the final fitting for both of them before the ball, and Kitty had begged to be allowed to try on her gown at Lady Frances' in order to have the benefit other opinion as well as general moral support.MoreLess
