Hortense spent much of the morning with Lucinda, ensuring that everything was in tip top condition for noon. When Narcissa arrived, she and Lucinda would have most likely would have given her a tour as well to be sure that everything was up to her standards.
As people arrived, Hortense greeted them warmly and thanked them for coming before or as they left.
She was very happy to see her brother and sister at the event and set her duties aside long enough to thank them for coming. After the luncheon, she would have spent most of her time with them and she was clearly very happy to do so. Hortense was also pleased to see Aunt Chloris and did not neglect to speak with her and thank her for coming. Near the end of the event Hortense sought out Seraphina to thank her for her services, congratulated Lucinda on a beautiful job and definitely spoke with Narcissa.
