Summary "The Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay — Volume 2" by Fanny Burney is a collection of personal writings created during the late 18th century. This volume continues the exploration of Frances Burney's life as a courtier, providing insights into her experiences, observations, and thoughts while serving in the royal household of King George III. The writings illustrate the intricacies of court life, along with social commentary and reflections on the events impacting her world. At the start of this volume, Madame D'Arblay recounts her experiences surrounding court duties and engagements, particularly during the royal birthdays and celebrations. The opening chapters reveal her internal dilemmas as she navigates formalities and expectations within the royal court, as well as her amusing encounters with fellow courtiers like Mr. Turbulent and Colonel Wellbred. We witness her observations of the royal family, her interactions with the Queen, and humorous incidents, including her struggles with court etiquette and sudden flurries of unexpected visitors. Overall, these early sections set the stage for an engaging mixture of personal emotion, social intrigue, and witty interactions characteristic of Burney's narrative style.
