Emma was already very graceful and poised, and with this wealth, she naturally did not lack suitors. Emma thought, leveraging her advantage as the heir, if she couldn't find someone who made her heart flutter, she would not settle for a quick marriage. On the first Sunday of June, on this day, Emma received a special reward from her father — she was allowed to visit the fountains of Versailles, southwest of Paris, with a friend, and all expenses were covered by her father.
The young lady was thrilled and had a wonderful time with her friends there, but what excited her more was meeting a charming gentleman. This gentleman was knowledgeable about everything and everyone he talked about. He recognized this Duke, that Earl, and other Parisian socialites. Moreover, he was an approachable, well-dressed man in fashion.
