Ascot is traditionally held in the latter part of June and is at the height of the "Summer Season" of London and English society events. Afterwards, apart from the race meetings at Goodwood and the royal regatta at Cowes, most of society leaves the cities for the countryside. The next "Season" commences in the autumn to include opera, ballet, symphony and Parliament's opening. Therefore, the embassy ball, for which Eliza worked so hard to perfect her character and mannerisms, was likely held in the autumn months following Ascot, giving a good cushion of time for the process.
