....... I hear rumours of an Austrian affair...But....I think LAffaire avec La Dauphine is just, as the English would say, a Red Herring?

I, instead, observed Wrath mingling with many Ladies as is his habit.

Until he came upon a mysterious Lady clad in scarlet, surely a Sin!!!

And I observed Wrath leading the Lady to a more discreet area, behind the temple, and somewhat away from the other dancers. There Wrath unmasked the Lady who turned out to be non other then Constance-Elisabeth de Bonzac, the Dowager Vicontesse de Saint-Emillion, recently returned from the country where she had been exiled for.......well thats another story....

I observed them both, as they shared a quiet moonlit moment, and they looked pretty chummy, I can tell you!!!

....It was all very cosy, until the Duchesse de Montbazon, Victorie Armande de Rohan came upon their tryst. Well...we all know that Wrath and the Duchesse have been, what shall we say, close in the past?

Ohhhh...the looks that passed between the three of them!!!!

After which the Vicontesse quickly replaced her Mask as Wrath took leave of her and hurried away

Looking, in my opinion, furtive and nervous as he went.
