Your Character
At the formal dinner, you are introduced to the viscount, the viscountess, and the dowager viscountess. She questions you about your father and the number of his wives. Although she finds divorce distasteful, if you tell her that your father's divorce from Amelia's mother was for the best, she says it sounds almost strategic and is impressed by you. If you tell her that your father is busy raising your two younger half-brothers, she asks you if you're jealous or not mind that his attention is no longer on you. When you reply that you're not, she is impressed again.
