Unfortunately, Eloise is a woman with four overprotective brothers and lives in a time when a visit such as hers to Sir Phillip’s is enough to ruin her. She is an independent woman and she wants to make her decisions for the right reasons. This is a very level-headed thought, which is why I love Eloise. She hadn’t decided whether she wanted to marry Sir Phillip, and much as these two children seemed to need her–and they did need her, she just knew they did–she couldn’t make her decision based on Oliver and Amanda. Now that’s a complicated life decision to make. And they are two children who desperately need a mother. Not only is Eloise scandalously staying unchaperoned with an unmarried man, but he is a man with children from his previous marriage.
I’m sure the fanfiction exists somewhere (tangent: Fangirl has fanfiction on my mind lately).Īnyway, back to Eloise at Sir Phillip’s house.
I know this comment is supremely unrealistic for the romance genre, but I’d like to see an alternate universe where Penelope and Eloise were sassy spinsters together. She supposed that when she’d been considering her life as a spinster, and trying to convince herself that it was what she really wanted, Penelope had always been there in the image, spinster right beside her. Scandalous.īut Eloise is also guilty at her leaving–guilty because she is not as happy as she should be for best friend Penelope for marrying brother Colin: The novel starts off from an endpoint of Romancing Mister Bridgerton: Eloise dashing away from Daphne’s party–right as Penelope and Colin announce the identity of Lady Whistledown.Īnd just where is she dashing off to? The home of a Sir Phillip, the widower of Eloise’s cousin–and the man Eloise has been corresponding with since her cousin’s death. It may come as no surprise to you–given my love of Penelope in Romancing Mister Bridgerton–that I love Penelope’s best friend Eloise and To Sir Phillip, With Love just as much.
