Hmph! Yeah, I agree with you :D But Circle of Voltaire will work for our purposes... and seems like the natural title, especially given the nomination of Madame Denis :)
Kind of a moot point now, but would "Natural Philosophers" have fit the bill? I suppose Hervey not so much, but you might be able to make a slant case for Lady Mary given the inoculation stuff... But Circle of Voltaire is nice because we don't have to make a case for every single character being a natural philosopher, which I think we could do but would get tiresome.
...and now that I've read your defense, I think I should just co-opt that for the promo post! Because I think that should get anyone interested in this set of characters :)
