The great, heart-shaped Shadowmere opal glows at your throat; the brocaded and bejewelled mask conceals your features; your rich velvet skirts rustle as you step down from the carriage and approach the grand marble entry that will lead you to the Marquess of J-----'s Venetian Masquerade. Will tonight be the night you meet your mysterious benefactor? She-- or he?-- who has restored you to your place and position, taken you from poverty to wealth?
You attempt to enter the ballroom unseen, but despite your caution, all eyes seem to be drawn to you. "Who is that?" you hear people whispering, and "Surely not the heiress of Shadowlea! I had heard her called a whey-faced child!", and, towards the end of the night, you hear someone murmur, "She's like a rose in a field of common grass."
This masque is fashioned of silk brocade in its main, with a delicate lace face-veil; silk-sheathed silver wires make up its elaborate headpiece; and it is ornamented with faux opal stones.
