Can y'all just be you know normal Marina Thompson for like 5 seconds? Because christ, the sheer Misogynoir that some of you spread about her character is insane and you don't even realise it.

Okay but can you imagine an AU of Bridgerton where Lord Ledger ends up a hot and somewhat-young widower and he and Lady Danbury are married for the events of the rest of the novels to just cackle over their entire freaking horde of grandchildren together?
THE SCENE:
Agatha: *storms in* “I want grandchildren!”
Ledger: *puts down his book* “Don’t we have about 30 of them?”
Agatha: *fans out several miniatures* “I want these specific additional ones.”
Ledger: *examines the pictures* “Gareth St. Clare is already our grandson.”
Agatha: “I can double up if I want to!”
Ledger: “Of course dear.”

What is your favourite Crane Twins Head Cannon?
I like to think they are the Regency equivalent of Dennis the Menace.
I kinda hope the set one of the Bridgerton Bros on fire.
My personal favorite is that they are way more like Phillip than anyone realizes, including himself. Like had Phillip been raised at least semi normal, he would've been mischevious too and causing pranks with George.
Eloise is the one who truly notices it first. After her and Phillip have been married for a while, and Phillip has become more laid back, his playful mischevious side comes out. Of course, Eloise being Eloise, she does not back down from a challenge. It takes him a few tries, but his pranks get creative. Seeing this side of her husband and then seeing how the twins plan their pranks almost like a science experiment has a light bulb going off over Eloise's head. The twins are their daddy's children.

Drabble request: how does Benedict earn Amanda and Oliver's trust after they found out he had choked their dad?
How does Sophie help smooth things over with his newest Niece and Nephew?
Family Feuds
Benedict found it rather odd and slightly terrifying as he stood there, in the grounds of his own home, being glared at by two eight year olds… 
Two eight year olds who looked like they were plotting his demise. There was something so startling like Eloise about the twins that had Benedict worried as he moved away from the twins and towards his sister and wife who were talking to one side.
“Hello my love, is everything okay?” Sophie asked as Benedict approached, noticing how he kept glancing over his shoulder.
“Erm… I am not sure. The twins… I don’t think they like me very much” he said
“I am sure that is not true…” Eloise said “they love Charlie and Alex…”
“El, seriously they’re looking at me like they’re plotting my demise…”
“What? I am sure that is not true” Sophie said glancing over at the twins who sure enough were glaring but the moment they saw Sophie looking over, smiled and waved at their new aunt as Benedict replied
“I saw that look enough growing up, especially from Daphne after i lopped the head off her doll”
“Well what did you do to them?” Sophie asked
“Why would you assume it is my fault? But i’ve not done anything to the twins” Benedict said
“Oh… it might not be the twins… They did ask me two days ago if it was true that you choked their dad…” Eloise said a little guilty feeling in her stomach
“And you told them no right? That it was a misunderstanding…”
“Well no… I said you did but it was nothing… but they didn’t say anything more so I assumed…”
“Oh great, so they think I've tried to kill their father?!” Benedict said “no wonder they want to kill me”
“Go talk to them?” Eloise suggested.
“I tried to talk to them earlier but they actually gave me the cut… and whenever i’ve tried since they’ve just walked off…” Benedict said
Sophie sighed “they just need to have it explained, want me to try and talk to them?” 
“Well I probably should do it… but if you want to try… be my guest, no one is able to actually be mad at you so maybe make more sense” Eloise said with a smile 
Sophie rolled her eyes at her sister in law “you Bridgerton’s are all predictable”
“I’m a Crane now” Eloise said, sticking her tongue out rather immaturely.
“Once a Bridgerton…” Sophie said, shaking her head and walking off from her husband and sister-in-law and towards her newest niece and nephew.
“Hello” she smiled at them both “are you enjoying yourselves?” she asked sweetly.
“Yes thank you” Amanda said sweetly, a smile on her face “you have a lovely home and garden”
“Thank you” Sophie replied “we have a little Apple tree just over the way, did Charlie or Alex show you it? They do so like climbing it” she asked
“Oh not yet!” Oliver replied brightly
“Come, i shall show you” Sophie said and started to walk with the twins, figuring it was easier to talk to them and explain what happened out of the way of the rest of the family.
As she walked she pointed out some of the things her sons liked in the gardens and promised that they could come over often to play with them and it was as she pointed out benedict’s art room from the outside, she saw the faces the twins pulled.
“Can I ask, why you pull a face at the mention of Benedict?”
“He hurt our father. He choked him!” Amanda said angrily.
“I know but he didn’t hurt him, it was all just a misunderstanding. He was trying to protect his sister…” Sophie said
“Why?!” Oliver asked “Father didn’t hurt her”
“We know that now, but at the time, they turned up and saw that their sister had a black eye with no explanation. They did not know about you or Amanda. If you saw Amanda with a black eye and no other explanation and only one person who looked like they could be responsible… what would you do?” Sophie asked Oliver “or if it was Oliver…” she said to Amanda.
“I… I would be upset and angry!” Oliver said “I’m the only one allowed to hurt Manda, and even then I’d not punch her…”
“Same” Amanda said
“See so your Uncle Ben thought that your father had hurt his sister, and so he was trying to protect her, they made up and your Uncle Ben, Anthony and Colin all apologised to your father after they realised and it was explained how it happened” Sophie said.
“Oh so they know it was us…” Oliver said sheepishly.
“They know it was an accident and whilst you were trying to prank her you did not mean for her to get hurt as such… and you apologised to Eloise about it and she forgave you”
“After she put a fish in my bed” Amanda said crossly
“Darling, there is something you need to know about the Bridgerton’s… this family… are crazy. If there is a prank to be returned, revenge to be had… they will do it… you will have to ask your Uncle Ben what he did to Aunt Daphne’s doll after she destroyed one of his paint sets… or your Uncle Colin about how he tried to get Eloise back she changed the sugar for Salt…”
“When did she do that?!” Amanda curiously
“The day before he married Penelope” 
The twins gasped “do they all have stories like this?” Oliver asked
“Oh yes, one of their favourites is the time your Aunt Kate bested your Uncle Anthony at Pall Mall”
“What’s that?” Amanda asked
“It’s a game, ask your Aunt Kate about it, trust me, she loves this story and it will give her great pleasure to tell you it” Sophie smiled
“Oooo we will!” Oliver said brightly, the trip to the apple tree all forgotten as they beamed as they spotted Benedict and without saying another word they ran over to him and begged to hear the story of the doll and with a bright smile towards his wife, sat down with his newest family members and regaled them for the rest of the evening with stories of his childhood.
After everyone had turned in for bed he pressed a kiss to Sophie’s lips, whispering his thanks for smoothing things over, especially as the twins declared him their favourite Uncle as they hugged him before they went to join Charles and Alexander in their bedroom for the first of many sleepovers.

I could talk about the “absence” of war in the Bridgerton verse if given the chance… I’ve seen some people asking why Napoleon is never brought up while George Crane was killed in the Peninsular War and there’s basically a whole company of officers (specifically Hussars) in the background this season because it’s post Waterloo. But also yes. There should be more war. Maybe Colin Bridgerton should’ve taken a commission. Could’ve been fun!

On the show, I want to see the family surprised by Eloise really taking to step-motherhood.
I am excited to see Daphnes reaction to Eloise who had always bemoaned women being straddled with children, become a loving step mother. I like to think the twins look at her like she hung the moon.
In the book, I felt she struggled more with becoming a wife than a mother.
Do you agree or disagree?
Oh you are not wrong on that. She absolutely did adapt faster to motherhood than she did to being in-love. The thing is that what did it for Eloise is that she felt needed in Phillip's household. The way she felt she wasn't truly needed anywhere else.
When she decides to stay in Romney hall, she doesn't do it because of Phillip, at first. But because of his children. Because Oliver and Amanda need her. And they need her in the sense, that Eloise knows as soon as she meets them, that her particular personality and combination of personal quirks IS going to make their lives better. So she rationalizes that she can't leave them. And as such, she must impose of Sir Phillip's hospitality. Because finally there is someone who's life she's making better by just being herself.
She doesn't tell herself she wants to be their mother, or their step mother as the case may be. In Eloise eyes what she's doing is standing up for the weak and defending Oliver and Amanda's right to free speech and better treatment from their father. Which is a very noble cause.
Watching Eloise discover that she is in fact a very capable mother to Oliver and Amanda is very funny. Because she just takes charge like she was born for it. And doesn't let anything stop her from actively advocating for these kids, who just need someone to listen to them.
And I hope that this is the direction they take Eloise with in the show. I want to see show Eloise pass from being this belligerent dissatisfied young woman who does not like kids, to one that slowly comes to the realization that nobody has ever needed her the way Daphne needs Simon, or the way Colin needs Penelope. And then, she finds that at first, it's Phillip's kids who need her. Not as a mom, but as a brave woman who can speak up for their best interests. And in the end she discovers that she may not think she's made for motherhood but neither is Phillip, and for the first time in her life, she realizes that this is okay. There are a million ways to be a good mother and she doesn't have to be like Daphne or Violet. Maybe she can be more like Mary.
And it's Eloise insistence in fighting for the twins emotional well being, that she gets to know Phillip better, and fall inlove with him later in the story. The whole being a wife thing was harder because in a sense, that was the one thing Eloise wasn't prepared for. Nobody ever prepares you for love, it just happens, and Eloise likes to control everything that happens to her, but she doesn't control her heart. So this was more of a struggle for her. Learning how to be a wife and a lover when all she knew before didn't compare to what she was feeling with Phillip.
And that's the tea

I love the domestic philoise drabble. Do you have a domestic headcannon for a Regency philoise?
Their morning routine would consist of Phillip pottering around his greenhouse while Eloise catches up on her correspondence before they go for a constitutional together around the grounds of Romney Hall. Eloise would regale him with every last detail of the missives she'd received and of her responses before asking her husband about his plants, which she in turn would listen with genuine fervid interest as Phillip eagerly discussed his flowers. Their morning walk would culminate in Eloise accompanying him into the greenhouse as he ventured into further detail and showed her the plants for a better understanding of what he was explaining, and he was always tickled whenever Eloise displayed the botanical knowledge he had bestowed her with.
In the night whenever the twins suffered a nightmare they would run to their parents bed in search of comfort. If they went to their father he would hold them close, assuring them everything was okay and not to worry, and his warm protective embrace would soothe them back into sleep. Whereas if they went to Eloise's side of the bed she would give them a cuddle and then take them downstairs and to make some warm milk. There she would sit with them and get them to talk through their nightmare, allowing them to explain their scare and upset and perhaps work out if they had any underlying worries that had manifested into their slumber. By the time their mugs were empty her child would have perked up and been reassured that everything was alright before Eloise took them back to bed, sitting with them and stroking their hair until they fell back into a peaceful sleep.
Eloise had two swings installed in the garden, a feature she had greatly missed from Bridgerton House since moving to Romney Hall. The twins were thrilled with them and couldn't get enough of trying to swing higher than the other, and they'd call for their parents to come and push them even higher. In the evenings after the twins were in bed Phillip and Eloise would sit outside, holding hands as they looked up at the starry skies above or across the pastoral views stretching beyond their estate in companionable silence. This would also be the setting for any deep meaningful conversations, whether Phillip opened up about his childhood and his parental worries, or Eloise admitting she was terrified of the childbirth she would soon have to endure.
Phillip would bring his wife newly-picked flowers everyday and Eloise loved her mission of finding the perfect room, the perfect vase, and the perfect spot to have them in (and she actually attended some flower-arranging classes specially for the cause).
Of course Benedict and Sophie living the closest to them would visit often; Benedict would take advantage of the vistas Romney Hall had to offer and set up an easel in the gardens to paint them whilst Sophie enjoyed catching up with Eloise and Phillip as the children ran about and played.
For the twins birthday Phillip bought them a badminton set and while Oliver and Amanda couldn't get enough of playing the lawn game, Eloise preferred to be a spectator to their fun and would decline her husband's invite to join them. Whenever her brother and sister-in-law visited, Sophie was more than eager to join the game and she and Phillip could play with the twins for hours at a time as Eloise and Benedict sat back and watched, their hearts filled with pride and love for the happiness they had provided their spouses with.

Eloise and Phillip’s Children
Sir and Lady Crane had five children with the older two being from Sir Crane’s first marriage: Amanda, Oliver, Penelope (better known as Penny), Georgiana, and Frederick. Amanda was the eldest, by seven minutes, and preferred to stay out of the spotlight. She grew out of troublemaking ways by the age of ten, although they never fully left her. Amanda was also the one Bridgerton granddaughter not to take a season, but it wasn’t a worry. She found her match in a neighbor’s cousin. Oliver was the eldest son and the second eldest. His troublemaking ways stayed with him a lot longer than they did his sister and he was always down to cause a little bit of a scene. He was, perhaps, an unusual choice but still eligible and eventually gave his heart to a merchant’s daughter, much to the ton’s displeasure. Penny could usually be found with her cousin and best friend, Agatha Bridgerton. They were inseparable, until it came to finding their matches. Penny fell for a duke… who also happened to be a fourth son. Georgiana was the most introverted of the Crane children, inheriting her father’s temperament. She became a sort of wallflower, but was still considered a good match as she was, after all, a Bridgerton by blood. However, Georgiana refused to bend when she fell in love with a viscount (and earl’s heir), who was rumored to be illiterate. Frederick was the youngest and that could be innately obvious at moments. He was a barrister, although he also had a wild side and eventually fell in love with an earl’s daughter. 
Tumblr media
Amanda Mary Crane
Born in 1816, Amanda’s middle name was a play on her mother’s name. It was her father’s idea, just as he made the suggestion that Oliver’s middle name be George.
Amanda is the older twin and never lets Oliver forget that. Much to her displeasure, he ends up taller than her.
Amanda outgrows pranking shortly after her sister, Georgiana is born. However, she will still get into prank wars with Oliver. It’s part of how they love each other.
Amanda had a revolving door of interests, and tends to find a new one every few months. She’s been interested in botany, zoology, architecture, Roman history and more. 
Amanda also finds that she really enjoys writing. She ends up writing a diary, which isn’t something she shares with people. However, she does end up gifting it to a granddaughter who she sees as a kindred spirit.
Amanda is also rather close with her cousin, Caroline Basset. They just clicked.
Amanda married Charles Farraday in 1840, when she was twenty-four and he was twenty-seven. Parts of their love story can be found in the second epilogue of To Sir Phillip With Love.
Tumblr media
Oliver George Crane
Born in 1816, Oliver is very light-hearted. He’s always made it his mission to lighten the mood, which is usually accomplished by jokes and pranks. It takes him a while to grow out of the pranks, which truly occurs shortly after his little brother, Frederick is born. He never truly grows out of pranks, though.
Oliver never lets Amanda forget that he’s the taller twin. 
Oliver loves having cousins. He’s in-between Edmund Bridgerton and Miles Bridgerton and David Basset in age, so he doesn’t have a very close cousin. However, he is good friends with all three boys, even if he brings out the worst in Edmund.
Oliver does not enjoy his time at school. For him, the only saving grace is that his friendship grows with his cousins and he makes other friends. In a modern AU, Oliver would probably have a mild case of ADHD.
Oliver falls in love with Alice Linfield, a merchant’s daughter. She is from a middle class family that can afford to mingle with the ton. Alice is one of the few people who can understand Oliver’s impulse to lighten the mood but can also call him out. 
Oliver married Alice in 1847, when he was thirty-one and she was twenty-four. They have one of the larger age gaps. 
Oliver and Alice have four daughters, Victoria, Adelia, Vinnie and Zadie. Victoria Alice Crane is two years older than Adelia Eloise Crane. Adelia is three years older than Lavinia Amanda “Vinnie” Crane, who is four years older than Zadie Marina Crane.
Tumblr media
Penelope Violet “Penny” Crane
Born in 1825, Penny’s temperament is a combination of her parents’. She is generally fairly even-keeled, but can also lose her temper easily. In addition, she is a hopeless romantic and is not something people expect from her. 
Penny’s godfather is Anthony and her godmother is Francesca. 
Penny is quite close with her cousin, Agatha Bridgerton. They are almost like a Penloise 2.0, with fewer secrets. It never fails to amuse their mothers, and grandmother. However, she also really looks up to her older cousin, Amelia Basset. 
Appearance wise, Penny looks like Eloise and therefore a Bridgerton.
Penny has a wild and fun-loving side, which often masks the personality traits that she inherited from Phillip. However, Penny embraces all of it.
Penny marries Christopher “Kit” Barrington, the Duke of Morcott. He also happens to be a fourth son, which means there’s all sorts of rumors swirling around Kit while they’re courting. 
Penny married Christopher in 1849, when she was twenty-four and he was twenty-eight. 
Penny and Christopher have five children, Alexandra, Hugo, Matthew, Robbie, and Viola. Their eldest child is a daughter named Alexandra Eloise Barrington, who is two years older than the twins, Hugo Christopher Phineas Barrington and Matthew Phillip Ambrose Barrington. The twins are four years older than Robert John Edmund “Robbie” Barrington. Robbie is three years older than Viola Penelope Barrington.
Tumblr media
Georgiana Eloise Crane
Born in 1826, Georgiana has her father’s temperament. She’s introverted, somewhat awkward, and generally fairly even keeled. She also has her father’s love of botany and plants. Georgiana is also closer to Phillip. 
Georgiana’s godfather is Benedict and her godmother is Penelope. 
As a child, Georgiana often trailed after her sister, Penelope, and cousin, Agatha Bridgerton. They rarely let Georgiana join in, despite the fact that Georgiana was only a year younger than them. 
She is a wallflower during her entire time as a debutante. However, she does manage to form her own friend group with two other wallflower debutantes.
Georgiana and Eloise are often at odds with one another. Their arguments really hit fever pitch during Georgiana’s courtship with Viscount Wivenly.
Georgiana falls in love with Lucas Wivenly, a viscount. He’s an heir (and former spare) to an earl, and also has dyslexia. However, because this is the mid-1800s, no one knows what dyslexia is and there are many rumors swirling around Lucas’s struggles with reading and related-tasks. Eloise does not like Lucas at first. Phillip thinks that Lucas is a good man and that Georgiana truly cares for Lucas.
Georgiana married Lucas in 1850, when she was 24 and he was 27.
Georgiana and Lucas have two sons named Nicholas Phillip Edmund Wivenly and Isaac Lucas Benedict Wivenly. Nicholas is two years older than Isaac.
Tumblr media
Frederick Phillip Anthony Crane
Born in 1829, Frederick reminds his grandmother of his Uncle Colin. He’s jovial, friendly, and troublesome. He also has his uncle’s massive appetite. In addition, Frederick has Eloise’s temperament and takes after her more so than Phillip in personality. 
Frederick’s godfather is Colin and his godmother is Daphne.
Frederick is older than his cousins, Richard Bridgerton and John Stirling by approximately two months. He is also extremely close with Richard and John, forming a trio with similar roles and personalities to their uncles ABC with Frederick being Colin, John Benedict, and Richard Anthony. 
His siblings, parents, and grandmother are the only ones Frederick lets call him “Freddie.” Eventually, his wife is added to that list.
Frederick becomes a barrister. He decides that he would like to try and help those who are less fortunate for him. Frederick also has a strong sense of honor, something he inherited from both parents.
Frederick falls in love with Lady Beatrice Winslow, an earl’s daughter. Their match happens quite slowly, as Richard Bridgerton marries Beatrice’s twin sister and John Stirling marries Beatrice’s close friend. They are both a bit oblivious about their growing feelings over the two seasons that occur prior to their courtship beginning. 
Frederick married Beatrice in 1857, when he was 28 and she was 24.
Frederick and Beatrice have two children, Louis and Dotty. Their eldest is a son named Louis Phillip Frederick Crane, while their youngest is a daughter named Theadosia Beatrice “Dotty” Crane.

why do you like philouise? :0
The speech is long so sit back and read well 😉
There is a character,Phillip , who has had his traumas in life and his patriarchal upbringing from his father, has given him a distorted view of life. A rigid life, without pleasures and love, solely linked to the duties imposed by society and common sense (trying to find a mother). It is no coincidence that he marries Marina and becomes the Baronet of Romney Hall without him wanting to, simply because it is his duty to his family and his brother George, the only person he loved who died in the war.
And then there’s Eloise who’s always lived in a loving environment she’s comforting but unlike other women in society she’s looking for the perfect man, she wants the perfect story and the perfect ending, but dreams are shattered with cruel reality: her best friend is getting married and she realizes she’s 28 years old and hasn’t found a husband yet and time is getting out of her hands. But all is not lost thanks to her knowledge with Sir Phillip.
Both in the beginning want different things: Phillip wants a mother for his children and Eloise love and this is the “narrative problem” that starts the story: they both want different things, they are different people and they have had different lives but in their imperfection they find the right and perfect ripples to complement each other.
The Philoise story is about a love that is born between two people despite their flaws, traumas and diversity. It’s not lightning strike and it’s not even the letters (also important) since they take up a very small part of the whole story. It’s that kind of mature love that leads two people to grow up and reevaluate themselves, to accept the fact that even if we’re different that doesn’t mean it’s not the right love. But only different and that in a healthy and mature relationship we need to compromise.
This is the nectar of all healthy relationships, loving not out of duty, not because there is desire, but loving how to care, and the fact that Phillip is a botanist to me is a symbolism of the whole story: Phillip is not a perfect man, but he tries to change himself for Eloise and the same goes for Eloise. He tries to be a better man for her and his children, he always tries to grow up as a person, a little like what a botanist does; grow up and take care of plants.
An example is when Phillip, after the scene of the swim in the lake, asks Eloise to join the family to swim when she makes him realize that he must be less terrified of the idea of being with Amanda and Oliver and that he could not hurt them (this is always related to his traumas) Or when he apologizes to Eloise and goes looking for her at My Cottage at Benedict’s because he feels guilty and wants to make up for it. Anyway, there are so many times when Phillip tries to be better man and father and do the right thing. Although he doesn’t even know what the right thing is since he never had a reference father/man figure
Eloise, on the other hand, learns that sometimes you have to compromise, that always fighting for everything and everyone is no more important than the people you love and that sometimes there are priorities, as in her case the priorities are Oliver and Amanda when she sees Charles, Benedict’s son, who is about to die of a fever.
Most Quinn stories tend to have a kind of imaginative cloud of love born out of passion and that resolves into some chapter in some way (like a kind of fairy tale) but this story instead is much more realistic: it’s a love born in the 19th century, they don’t marry because they’re in love, it’s true, but it’s the most realist story she could write Because they learn to love and support each other (Below is a clear example that Phillip appreciates and trust his wife skills)
Tumblr media
And then there are small scenes that I find adorable and that have been put specifically to lighten the work and make it more enjoyable and fun like Amanda and Oliver’s jokes and Eloise revenge xD. Or when the four brothers decide to break into Phillip’s house to strangle him; when the brothers make fun of Eloise but Phillip takes it very seriously and despite them being the majority and just kidding he has no problem making a big voice to defend her duty u.u

Gothic Featheringtons and childhood friends Phillip and Penelope?
The Featheringtons have a summer home in Gloucestershire. Portia likes to visit there from time to time, despite all that there are more ghosts in the city. Ghosts that died in the wilderness or the countryside with minimal to no other human contact have some the most interesting stories.
It is during one of these trips that Phillip and Penelope met each other. They were both looking for cherries when they just so happened to climb the same tree.
Little Phillip was just looking for a snack while he hid from his father. He sat on one of the branches eating his handful of cherries, and then spitting out the pits.
"Thank you!" A little voice said below him.
Phillip looked below. Sitting on a lower branch was a little girl roughly two years younger than him. She had bright red hair that stood out against her black dress. In her lap is a collection of cherry pits.
"Who are you?" Phillip asked the little girl. "And why do you have all those cherry pits?"
"I'm Penelope!" Penelope greeted. "Mama asked me to get some cherry pits so she can make Papa a cherry pit pie."
"A cherry pie?" Phillip asked.
Penelope shook her head. "No cherry pit pie."
Curious to what a cherry pit pie was, Phillip followed Penelope home.
"Oh! Muy guapo!" Portia gushed when she saw Phillip. "Don't you just look feral! Penelope, where did you find such a handsome boy?"
"In the cherry tree, Mama!" Penelope answered.
Little Phillip was never called handsome before, which was usually reserved for his older brother. All of Phillip's time in the woods as he tried to avoid his father had his nannies and governesses, saying he looked more like a wild child than the son of a lord. He found he rather liked this strange family.
Years later, Penelope rambles off to Eloise about her friend Pip in the countryside, who knows so much about poisonous plants, El! Oh, he's truly brilliant! You must meet him one day!
Violet and Mary, who are having tea with Portia, turn towards the red head. "Pip?" They ask her.
"A family friend from Gloucestershire," Portia answered.
That doesn't help clarify anything to Violet or Mary. The Featherington ladies befriend ghosts and all sort of creepy things if given the chance.
A squeal from Penelope as she runs out the door and across the square has her mother quickly following her.
There was a carriage outside of the Featherington home with a man and two children climbing out. The children were dressed all black clothing. The gentleman had on a lighter green jacket, but the rest of his clothes were also a shade of black.
"Pip!" Penelope exclaimed, quickly hugging the man. After she bent down to pick up the two small children. "Oliver, Amanda, you two look so handsome."
The two children giggle.
"Your father on the other hand," Portia said as she plucked a string from the jacket. "Phillip, who told you to wear such a bright green?"
"It is truly hideous," Felicity said as she came out of the Featherington home.
Phillip sighed. "The tailor was insistent that this would help blend better in London."
"Well, yes, some would wear this," Portia said. "But honestly, you would look so much better in a forest green."

How do Phillip and Eloise prepare the twins for their first visit to aubury hall?
Let's be honest, they probably made it memorable...
Oh man I can see Eloise asking her nieces and nephews who are old enough to teach them Pall Mall, let them watch a game first but then learn how to play... they're honorary Bridgerton's after all and they've got to learn...
