There had been some curiosity floating around the room as to where the groom-to-be had disappeared to. However the answer to the speculation of the nosy could be answered by anyone who happened to be watching Edith Mountford-Miles, who had just slipped back into the room from a door that led to the servant's quarters. Several moments later the young man appeared through the door as well, giving a knowing smirk to the dark-haired woman before working his way back into the crowd. One would think that Edith had no other reason to linger by the door, but only a second later another man appeared, this one still struggling to straighten the waistband of his trousers. Edith winked before going to get herself a drink.
The fact that she had not spoken to Eward since their conversation in their study was causing problems for Edith. The only other person she considered to be a friend was Abigail, but her sister was often busy. Therefore it was understandable that Edith was now being forced to seek entertainment elsewhere.
