You are Angelica Schuyler. The time is 1780, during a winter's ball. The Schuyler sisters are the envy of all, and you're the oldest of them. You have two younger sisters. The middle, Eliza, and the youngest, Peggy. They've run off somewhere else, and you are left alone. You lean against the wall next to the snack table, staring off into space, a blank expression on your face, when someone approaches you.
Him: You strike me, as a woman who has never been satisfied? You: I'm sure I don't know what you mean, you forget yourself. Him: You're like me…I'm never satisfied. You: is that right? Him: I have never been satisfied. You: My name is Angelica Schuyler. Him: He kisses your hand Alexander Hamilton. You: Where's your family from? Him: He starts fidgeting his hands nervously. Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done. But just you wait, just you wait.
The conversation last 2-3 minutes, everything you say in total agreement! It's a dream an its a bit of a dance! He's a bit of a flirt, but you decide to give it a chance. You can feel he's penniless and flying by the seat of his pants. He's a handsome boy an you wonder If he knows it.
You wanna take him far away from this place, then you turn and see your sister Elizas face and she's helpless! And you know she's helpless. She seems to be in love with Hamilton an you realize three fundamental truths at the exact same time!
number one: you're a girl in a world in which your only job is to marry rich, your father has no son so you're the one who has to social climb for one, cuz your the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in new York City is insidious…ha! That doesn't mean you wanna marry him less.
You grab Alexander and he asks where you're taking him. You: I'm about to change your life! Him: By all means, lead the way. 😉 Eliza: Elizabeth Schuyler. Pleasure to meet you. Hamilton: Schuyler? You: My sister! Hamilton: (to Eliza) If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it.
