One thing I'd want to know. Was it 55 people in total, or 55 guests plus their aides? Would a rich person be riding around alone at night, or would they have somebody with them?
55 people, though there were musicians and servants whose drinks and food were included (but not itemized) in the tab.
Sounds reasonable.
55 attendees - i would assume these 55 plus their aides.
That's my assumption as well, but I don't know what the protocol for this type of affair would have been.
I was also thinking that there might also have been 'female companionship' provided.
