Villette Chapter 20 - The Concert Part 1

In which I am summoned by Mrs. Bretton to don a new, pink dress and accompany her and Graham to a grand concert attended by royalty, unveiling to me the dazzling spectacle of Villette’s high society. The evening unfolds with vivid impressions of the illuminated city, the imposing splendour of the music hall, and the quiet, inscrutable presence of nobility, all observed with a mingling of admiration and subtle unease.
