Miss Mary Taylor, daughter of the esteemed Speaker of the House, made her formal debut at the recent season’s opening ball to much admiration.
While certain third-tier publications have chosen to sensationalize innocuous moments from the evening—including fabricated accounts of a "disappearance" and wholly unsubstantiated rumors involving a gentleman—we remind our readers that Miss Taylor was, at all times, both accompanied and appropriately attired.
As for reports of a stumble on the dance floor, one unfortunate misstep during the waltz was swiftly recovered with poise.
In fact, many remarked on the elegance of the movement—a curtsy, perhaps, rather than a blunder.
