My, but when the court hears about your impending nuptials before you do. I would have liked to think that I might have been informed of my engagement by my fiancée or my family rather than a well-wisher from the lower nobility. Ah, but how times change.
[ Noëlle ]About how long do you suppose we can play up our engagement before it goes too far, do you imagine?
[ Cas ]If you have the time sometime this week, I would love to meet with you again, if possible. Oh, and if you do hear something about my being engaged, do not believe it. The nobility simply get bored when things start to go "too well."
[ Rosalind ][.......................] Apologies once again for my
[...] intrusion the other evening, but it was lovely to make your acquaintance once more. I am
[.....] pleased my brother has someone so valuable to him in his life.
