| My name is Miss Caecilia de la Salle. I'm the daughter of Mr. Jean de la Salle and his charming wife Helena. Our family came to England in the 16th century, we were hugenots who had to flee from France in those far away days. My father is a Colonel in the army. I am the daughter of a French Duke, the Duc de la Salle, my fortune is immense (I have a huge family with relatives in France, Austria and Russia, they have just got back their fortune from France which was confiscated as the family fled to England, so Lord de la Salle was able to buy La Rose and other estates, to give his daughters immense dowries and to live with grande but never vulgar style) 100 000 pounds, I will inherit this fortune and an estate called Ballyhara when i marry.I have five sisters and three brothers. Here are my sisters: Anna Marie, Stella, Adalgisa, Antonia and Julia. My brothers are Ferdinand, Armand and Jules. I'm seventeen years old, I haven't had my debut in society yet for I'm the youngest. I have black curly hair and dark blue eyes. I adore the opera and I love to sing and to ride. I'm daring and driving my mother to despair by jumping with my beloved horse Margherita. I'm a little bit untamed and shrew but I have a good heart and can be understanding and kind if it's required. |
