this was a nice little short story. i agree with the other reviewer about lily but her character is no different than other stories with pushy friends. the problem i had with this story was the historical inacuracies. two well brought up ladies would never be running around alone back then. they would have a chaperone at balls and would have taken a maid or groom everywhere else. if sara had a maid or groom when she fell she would have never gone to devlin's home. the description of almacks was way off base. the types of food and drink were famous for being bland and plain. there were no lavish bufffets and no alcohol. also where were sara's parents or hosts? when she never showed up to tea nobody came looking? with all of the witnesses an angry father would have been almost immediate. at the very least a note would have been sent to let them know what happened and a doctor would have been called. also a single lady never showed up at a gentleman's home and lily apparently went to devons twice....just not done sorry.
