129-men wanted their women chaste and untouched then they mocked them for their lack of experience
133-did Isabella also have secret son? I hope its Gareth’s “father” for all of his Bs and bloodline talk
134-Hyacinth was quite unlike any other woman he’d ever known
139- secret gems! Will probably help Gareth with impending debt
142-I can recognize a supercilious, pontificating male when I see one

97-he is the only person I can think of who you wouldn’t—or rather couldn’t—run into the ground
100-so DARING! Asking a gentleman to dance
104-no ordinary dance. Let the lady be clumsy!
105-quite the most exerting waltz he’d ever danced
The only wedding night he wanted to hear about less than Gma St. Clair’s would have to be Gma Danbury’s

82- From Peep?
86-It was only one minute later when Hyacinth heard it. Soft and for her ears only “Baaa. Baaaaaaaa”
94-for the rest of the night, he couldn’t quite forget the smell of perfume

73-I would think the elephant would be a fairly good indication that I ought to look elsewhere
77-it was the first time since your father died that I smiled
78-you saved me
“You were a force of nature and I didn’t want to clip your wings”

53/54-“stop mentioning your grandson” lol
There were some people for whom good looks were a fact, not an opinion
Lady D’s eldest got his head stuck between the bars of the front gate of Windsor Castle 🤭
The characters of the book within the book
“Mealymouthed baron”, “Miss Bumblehead/Bumbleshoot”

32- not like other girls lol “he had never met anyone quite like Hyacinth Bridgerton”
36-she never liked her son-in-law, and in fact routinely referred to him as “that pompous idiot”
39- The foreshadow is strong “as soon as Gareth attempted to make a change in his life, to move forward, to move up… that was when the baron would make his move”

14- P: I have decided to have faith in you
H: you have to love me. It’s a contractual obligation
19- neither plague nor pestilence nor perfidious paramour would stop her in her quest to see all eight of her children happily married
22- of course Gareth’s reputation is abominable. Just like Michael, Anthony, and Simon
He probably always liked Hyacinth or wanted to catch her attention because she didn’t want it

13- The scene is the annual Smythe-Smith musicale, about ten minutes before Mr. Mozart begins to rotate in his grave
