I would probably be the girl in the amber gown (next to the silvery lady whos talking to a gent in red) who is her holding up her fan You cant tell but shes probably amused and/or grinning (perhaps both!) and trying to hide it with her fan. What she is smiling at? Who knows...

Hmph they WERE a bit of a bore, Gallyon cherie, I don't care if they have the Garter or the Bath!Surely, as I turn away from those terrific English bores, my eye is now about to light on the two Polish noblemen in the bottom right-hand corner - they cannot be there by accident!!!(BTW cherie - LOVE your cape! ;^) )(No ladies mounted on horse or I would have to go with that . . .)

I'd probably be the one in the white gown and hat. She seems to be rather enjoying all the attention from the gentleman to the right of her HahaAnd that gown is fab! Hehe

They are POLISH?! I thought perhaps they were spaniards.^^

Spaniards? SPANIARDS???? Sophy darling, I do like our friends from Espain but, believe me, these gentlemen are Slav Slav Slav (and my kind of Slav ^^).

I would be the lady in silver next to Sophia, talking to the man in red, on the right hand side.He's asking me "Is something wrong with your friend?" He nods towards dear Sophia. I simply shake my head and reply: "No that's just my Sophia." I'm tempted to hit him with my fan for a variety of reasons, one of which is he's *really* too close to me but well... too many witnesses. I wouldn't want to go on trial for murd- erm *cough* assault... (Death by fan!)

I think we picked the same person, Selina, haha

Well I admit my defeat

I hope the strongest reason for you to commit bodily harm with a fan is to defend "your dear Sophia" hahaha

Maybe she has multiple personalities?

Chaperone :"No,dear I dont care that he is a devilishly handsome rake.Your are not to take a stroll with him and thats final"Young Lady Elizabeth:"But I want to! *stomps foot*

Great picture, Sophia! Did you all check out the "kilts" bottom centre-left???

Of course *looks amazed that Tatiana should think she would miss the chance to look at shapely manly legs*

I would have to go with the woman in blue. She is in the background a bit, on the left hand side. She is talking with a woman and a man.
