As The Leaves Fall, I Fall Too... In Love

I adore autumn.
You see, many people go on extensively long vacations during the summertime, but return to their homes in fall. This is when the parties start up again and it is SO delightful to meet new people. By people I especially mean gentlemen. Although I am still quite young, I do wish to marry soon. I've always fancied St. John Rivers, but he never seemed to pay much interest in me romantically, so sadly, I have given up.
However, this brings me to my big news. Just last week, I was invited to the county ball that I was a bit apprehensive to attend. I did not know anyone except for one person, who was being honored, and this was to be a big party. I would not have the delight to spend a big portion of the evening with my friend for he would be busy the entire evening, and I would need to cope for myself and create my own fun by getting to know new people. I was nervous, yet I knew I should go and socialize.
With that in mind, I went shopping and picked up a lovely olive toned dress that complimented my skin color, put on my favorite pearls and got into my coach. The ride was short and I arrived right on time. As I stepped inside I saw many welcoming faces and I knew right then, that it was going to be a good night. Within the first twenty minutes I had danced with three wonderful, very different men. All exceptionally charming. The last one, Mr. Granby, was my favorite. He asked me to dance later on in the night and even agreed to visit me in the future. I am very excited and am unsure as to what will happen between us. In anticipation for his visit (which has been scheduled to be in two fortnights), I have developed a strong liking towards him and cannot wait to see what will come.
