On the Collins estate, Penelope walked with her siblings to find their mother to sit with her.
Penelope walked arms linked with each sister. Lily to her right and Isabelle to her left.
"With all that happened this season, I think I would rather wait until the next season to find a husband. This might be the season of strange men and events," said Lily.
"I married this season and it has turned out well for me," Penelope said in an effort to give Lily hope.
"Your marriage caused quite a stir with many believing that you were with child long before you married, and you missed out on having a grand wedding. What use is it to have a wealthy father and husband, to not have a grand wedding?" Lily asked, disappointed on Penelope's behalf.
Isabelle nodded, agreeing with Lily.
"Is it not the two people that matter, not how grand the wedding is?"
