"I was searching for you. I am taking my carriage to visit a friend in a moment. There is a gathering I want to attend, so we shall find dresses together," said Victoria.
"A gathering? I haven't attended one in ages. Should I accompany you?" Cecilia asked, welcoming a chance to get dressed.
"I would love for you to join me, but it is a small gathering for ladies who are not yet married. We are gathering to speak of ways to help each other, and I think it is a good chance to bond with others. They are all eager to hear about the palace," Victoria shared.
"Victoria, you know better than to attend such gatherings. These types of gatherings are for ladies who will always struggle to find a suitor, and you are not like them. You would benefit from attending a gathering of my choosing. Tell them you cannot attend," Cecilia said, already having another gathering to attend.
