"You absolutely sparkled, sister" Hyacinth and Florence giggled together, still in awe over what happened earlier that day, "Come, now. I merely simpered and minced in a pretty dress like everyone else" Florence told as she proceeded to change. "Not exactly like everyone else" Daphne told with a smile on her face. "I shall need to go and visit with Penelope. Her presentation was anything but.. What was it the queen called you again?" Said Eloise.
"Flawless" Florence beamed, "..or some such thing. Trust I was astonished Her Majesty offered me, out of two hundred young ladies present, a most gracious remark."
"Yes, it was quite a distinction. And now to hundred ladies have a common adversary. I wish you luck, sister." Eloise said, making Florence frown, as well as Daphne. "Eloise!" "What? It is true."
"Her success on the marriage mart influences all of your prospects. We will all need to find love someday, a love as pure as what Mama and Papa once shared, if we are so fortunate." Daphne defended her twin, knowing how Eloise gets about the societal expectations for young women. "I merely hope I am able to continue such a grand tradition" Florence said, making Eloise frown.
Violet came in, showing the girls their newest dresses and talking about them, Eloise talked about a girl who married last year and is now supposedly miserable. "She is miserable. It says it all here" she told the girls. "Do not tell me that is yet another scandal sheet. Eloise-"
