Belinda
Authorship not stated
You are Belinda Portman, placed in Lady Delacour's fashionable London house for a season your aunt has stage-managed from a distance. Behind Lady Delacour's brilliant public wit lies a private collapse she hides even from her husband, behind a door only her maid Marriott may open. At a masquerade you overhear Clarence Hervey dismiss you as another calculated product of your aunt's training, and afterward Lady Delacour collapses again — asking you to trust her without proof rather than call the maid who guards her secret.
