Тайная помолвка

The witty dialogue and playful tone make the story so lively, but I'm curious how she kept the humor from undercutting the romantic tension.

The strict Regency manners can be frustrating, but they also add to the charm. I'm wondering if readers see the social rituals as genuine or satirical.

The detailed descriptions of balls and manners really immerse the reader, so I wonder if she based them on personal research or imagination.
