I am so happy to hear this! Definitely will be adding him to my dance card. Also in the letter you have coming, Euphemia is suggesting some other ladies for you. Wink wink nudge nudge.

@Earl Nicholas Howard (Evan) Euphemia would 100% ignore the monkey but would be determined to be as kind as she could be and proper toward Nicholas himself. Kill them with kindness is her motto in this situation LOL.

Your name: Euphemia Griffen Attended with/seated with: Attended with @Captain Katharine Sunderlin (she/her, Kim) , seated in the @Colonel G.O. Molyneux pavilion. Horses entered/supported/bet on: Officially supporting Regina of the Thousand Steps. Additional activities: Very discretely offered a token of good luck (a bit of blue ribbon) to @Mr. Edmund Ayles (Jesse) prior to the beginning of the races as she knows that Mr. Ayles trained Elegant Bachelor. Was seen flirting with @Lord Aramis Matthew Beauclerk (Jordana) . Also was very excited to see an old friend from The Westlands @Armitage Sleeping Bear (Aaron) . Euphemia was obviously not remotely interested in the horses or the racing and was only there because she wanted to socialize and see people. Stayed as far away from the actual horses and racing track as could be done without drawing too much attention or being offensive to anyone. Anything else of note: Outfit worn day of the race! Connections wanted: If anyone else is open to a little flirtation let me know. Effie is all about that flirt life right now.

How exciting! Euphemia just returned from a grand tour mostly in the Westlands and then a few months in West Africa. Effie is a painter and is going to be opening a gallery soon of the works she did while she was touring The Westlands & West Africa. She did some great renders of landscapes, people, and animals from The Westlands. So I feel like because of her love of the Westlands from visiting there and her love of art that these two could definitely click on some level! There could be potential for a romantic interest depending on how they get along on paper if you'd be interested in striking up a correspondence.

My girl Euphemia just returned to England before Christmas from her travels through the Westlands and a small stint in West Africa. She left in January of 1809 to do a grand tour of the Westlands. She spent a year and a half travelling the westlands before leaving in July of 1810 to do a short stint of travel in West Africa. If Tabitha might have been travelling the same areas at the same time they could have crossed paths and become friendly! Euphemia is something of an artist and did many drawings / paintings of the areas she travelled through. She's very artistically minded and is also involved in charity work. This would be Effie's first year out in society and she definitely is devastated at how it's turned out thus far.

Effie was born September 22, 1790

Was actually quite good at the game. However, as Earl Nicholas Howard's monkey Bartholomew began trying to get handshakes, Lady Euphemia was visibly upset. As the monkey pawed at her dress for a handshake Euphemia could be overheard saying "Get that damned beast away from me!" This was immediately followed by profuse apologies, Euphemia turning about twenty shades of red, and then politely excusing herself from the game. (Apologies letters to all involved should be expected.) -Pianoforte & Harp: A killed musician, part of her night was spend playing the pianoforte and the harp as well as singing and doing so very well. -Sulking & Hiding: After The Incident mentioned above, Effie did her best to avoid others and to do everything in her power not to make anymore of a fool out of herself than she already has.

Avoided Emmeline at all costs after making a scene at Charades. Departed At: 4pm Departed With: @Abraham Griffen (Steve he/him) & @Lady Charlotte Grant (if this is amenable to both parties)
