I woke up in a pretty good mood. I found out Papa left early for business from one of the maids. And today CeCe and Di are going to come over and "have tea" with me. Well, that is partially true, but we'll actually just gossip. CeCe knows all the gossip, probably because of her mother, Geraldine. who is the Queen of Gossip herself.
Ugh, I remember she and her 1st daughter, the 1st inline in the "Gossip Throne" Bitchy Priscilla. Made a rumor, that Di's mom was whore. Like such a chit. And always tease me and called me "Lesser Lucy" when we were kids. Now it's a nickname they always use to call me. And now because of that, I started calling her "Petty Priscilla" Grumpy Geraldine heard about it and called her another bitchy daughter "Pretty Prudence" Now all her friends, call me Lesser Lucy, the nickname Priscilla gave me because "I was less pretty than prudence." Which is true, Prudence has the blonde hair, blue eyes combination. While I have Brown hair, brown eyes. Well, Cecily is different than everybody in her family, she might be candid. But she never talk behind our backs. And Di might be a merchant's daughter but she is more than what she seems.
While in my train of thoughts, I heard a carriage arrived. I ran down the stairs and out through the door to see CeCe and Di out of the carriage and hug the life out of them.
"Goodness Gracious Lady, Let me breathe." CeCe trying to get out of my infamous warm hugs.
"Yes, that would be lovely." Diana chuckles.
"Well, what are we waiting for, let's head in." CeCe said.
"Oh yes, what the TEA this week, Lady Colborne? I asked. smiling mischievously.
"Oh Lady Dyke, Lady Lee. You are in for a ride. she smiled. almost a smirk I might add.
"Arnold, Tea, and Biscuits, please." I shouted.
"Yes, Miss Lucy." He answered.
"No way!" Diana exclaimed.
"Oh Yes way, Lady Dyke! Lady Hill and Sir John Guppy were found in an intimate position last night at Lady Gulliver's Garden." Cecily exclaimed.
"But, I thought Lady Hill is The Duke of Belfast's Mistress? I asked.
"Oh dear, you innocent lady. Even when you're someone's mistress, you're not bound to them, you are just there for sexual pleasures." Cecily said. like she has been someone's mistress, I mean how does she know all this?
"I bet Lady Hill is looking for a husband," Diana said.
"I mean that is a possibility, Di. But she could also just be pleasuring him." CeCe replied like a true expert.
"I mean Sir Guppy may not have a title but he has money, like lots of it." Di said.
"Yeah, and surely she paid her enough to hide her flaws and aging skin." CeCe said. with an eye-roll.
"I don't get it. Men like to wife up a virgin but will have a mistress after getting married. I mean why just don't they wife up there mistresses?" Cece Said.
"Like you said, "for their sexual pleasures," Lucy deadpanned.
"I mean I get it when you're not married or widowed, But married? I mean don't they have respect for their wives?" Cece Asked.
"Probably no, cause men wouldn't take up a mistress if they fully respect their wives." Di said.
"True, I hope we all get a good husband, who respects us and wouldn't take mistresses." Cece said
"Let's hope." Di said.
"Let's do that." I said.
