![]() ![]() Though she cried and cried, Simon kept her attached to him, until one morning he awoke and Belinda was sound asleep, the first time the Hastings residents had awoken to such calm since she was born. He held and comforted her, taking her everywhere with him to visit the tenants, while he worked away in his office, even taking her for strolls around the garden. Simon stepped up to the plate when he saw his loving wife’s utter despair, and insisted to the nurse maids that he would see to little Belinda himself. ![]() They hadn’t endured much with Amelia, but with their new infant daughter, Daphne did truly question her capabilities as a parent. Simon gets his reckoning when every eligible gentleman of the Ton lines up at Hastings house to pay his daughter a visit, to which Anthony gifts him a bottle of whiskey.īelinda Basset came into the world screaming her tiny lungs out and the poor babe suffered from colic for the first six weeks of her life, much to her parents anguish. Naturally, upon her debut presentation she is named diamond of the first water, just like her mother before her. Her parents assured her that she needn’t be so focused on being a lady with a plethora of talents all she needed was to be her charming and eloquent self. She took up cross-stitching (and while good, grew bored after completing a couple), the piano forte (she envisioned being as talented as her mother, but after a while realized she wasn’t all that passionate about the instrument), and art (she attempted a drawing of Clyvedon’s lake and then never picked up her sketchbook again). As she neared the age of making her debut, she attempted to mold herself into being as accomplished a young lady as she could be, knowing securing a respectable husband would pave the way for her younger sisters when they debuted in the following years. Amelia adored growing up in the country and was a very confident equestrian and loved more than anything to accompany her father on his morning rides during her adolescence. It greatly entertained Simon just how much Amelia was turning into Daphne 2.0, but it also softened his heart when the little girl emulated his wife’s kindness when she spent an entire day picking out posies of flowers from the Clyvedon gardens to hand out to their tenants. As she got older she began to shadow her mother, mimicking everything she did, from the way she was poised to the way she politely laughed when she didn’t find a person funny but didn’t want to be rude. She loved bossing her younger siblings about, forcing them all to partake in her tea parties and helping herself to whatever toys they may have in their bedrooms. Sure, she had thrown tantrums as a growing toddler when her infant sisters captured their parents attention more than Amelia but after a while, the eldest Basset girl realized she could use her status as the oldest child to her advantage. Being the first child/grandchild/niece of the family meant she was spoiled rotten until she was followed by her two younger sisters quick succession. While she inherited her father’s dark curly hair, she had the same doe eyes as her mother, as well as her heart-shaped face. ![]() The duo will have three children together.Amelia Basset came into the world as the first Bridgerton of a new generation and was heavily fussed over not only by her parents but by her grandmother Violet and her adoptive grandmother Lady Danbury. However, it’s one that’s not approved of by the Bridgerton brothers, as it takes place in an unchaperoned manner, and it is demanded that the pair marry to protect Eloise’s honor. Eventually, he proposes marriage, to which Eloise suggests an in-person meeting - a seemingly reasonable request. Eloise, who is Marina's true cousin in the series, sends her condolences, and Sir Phillip responds in kind. ![]() The printer’s assistant with a passion for feminism seems like an ideal mate for Eloise, but it’s actually Sir Phillip Crane - the elder brother of Marina Thompson’s true love, Sir George - who wins her heart in the books.Īs the story of To Sir Phillip, With Love goes, Eloise and Sir Phillip become pen pals after Marina passes away. Not only does she not end up alone, but she also winds up with a totally different character than the one we see her developing feelings for in season two, Theo Sharpe. While early fans of the series might have expected Eloise to become a (gasp!) husband-less spinster, content with her books as her companion, the sassy middle child of the family’s storyline is surprising in several ways. ![]()
