"I would imagine so," Matt replied, not meaning to make her nervous. "I don't imagine too many people truly do. And I'm sure all of your friends and family are very happy to know that you are feeling much improved."
"Does? I would imagine it depends on how old she is. At her age, I'm sure there are balls and parties. Perhaps lessons? I don't know for sure." Matt lifted a shoulder in a shrug, unsure. "I am sure there are others with fewer good intentions than yourself who might wish to take advantage of the princess. She has such status and a good deal of money, after all."
"Oh! I have something for you, by the way." He slid off his stool and stepped into the back room, returning a moment later with a small package wrapped in paper, which he handed to Penny as he took a seat. Inside was a purple scarf with a woven flower pattern. "It isn't much, but I saw it and thought you might like it."
