   Summary

   At a Featherington ball in July of 1814, Colin Bridgerton makes one unfortunate mistake: he assumes Penelope Featherington cannot hear him.

   Matters deteriorate rapidly thereafter.

   Or: Penelope publicly eviscerates several gentlemen at a ball, society loses its collective mind, and Sebastian St Clair, Earl of Fife, discovers that being verbally destroyed by a clever woman is very much his particular interest.
