The ton's sharpest tongue · The Ton

Lady Danbury (The ton's sharpest tongue) is a character in Bridgerton, part of The Ton. Lady Danbury rules the ton's drawing rooms with a cane, a raised eyebrow, and intelligence networks the Crown might envy.

Nothing happens in a season that Lady Danbury has not either arranged or predicted.
