May 30th, 1888 - Coming Out Ball
Before he was elected Minister, Ross did not regularly attend the Coming Out Ball. He'd make an appearance if someone he was related to was debuting, and over a decade ago he'd met his wife here, but the longer one was married the more unappealing the general CoB became. But now he was the Minister, which meant that he was more or less expected to make an appearance at major events, and the Coming Out Ball was the definition of a major event.
So he was here, trying to ignore the vague stench of desperation.
"I'm afraid I promised my wife not to talk about Ministerial policy tonight," Ross said pleasantly to the prying individual. Roslyn had asked him to make no such promise, but this was definitely not the place.
