Eloise, whose mouth
was as sharp as Hyacinth's (though thankfully tempered by some discretion),
had remarked that they had best get Hyacinth married off quickly or
their mother was going to become an alcoholic. Lady Bridgerton had
not appreciated the comment, although she privately thought it might
be true. - An Offer From A
Gentleman: The Epilogue II (Bridgertons, #3.5)
"Eloise," Penelope said, somewhat breathless from trying to shake off Hyacinth.
"Penelope." But Eloise's voice sounded curious. Which did not surprise Penelope; Eloise was no fool, and she was well aware that her brother's normal modes of behavior did not include beatific smiles in her direction.
"Eloise," Hyacinth said, for no reason Penelope could deduce.
"Hyacinth."
Penelope turned to her husband. "Colin."
He looked amused. "Penelope. Hyacinth."
Hyacinth grinned. "Colin." And then: "Sir Phillip."
"Ladies." Sir Phillip, it seemed, favored brevity.
"Stop!" Eloise burst out. "What is going on?"
"A recitation of our Christian names, apparently," Hyacinth said.
"I've already instructed the others to keep their mouths shut."
"Even Hyacinth?" Penelope asked doubtfully.
"Especially Hyacinth."
"Did you bribe her?" Violet asked. "Because it won't work unless you bribe her."
"Good Lord," Colin muttered. "One would think I'd joined this family yesterday. Of course I bribed her." He turned to Penelope. "No offense to recent additions."
"Oh, none taken." - Romancing Mister Bridgerton: The Epilogue II (Bridgertons, #4.5)
Francesca couldn't say anything, because that would just make her mother feel even worse, and so instead they stood there as they always did, thinking the same thing but never speaking of it, wondering which of them hurt more.- When He Was Wicked: The Epilogue II (Bridgertons, #6.5)
Compiler's Note: These quotes are from the second epilogues written for the Bridgerton Series! I just put them altogether!
