"Hello Patience, Ella, how lovely the two of you look this day. My brothers are very well, completely lost without me as you can imagine, but I do hope they shall be able to manage without me for a bit." As soon as her brothers began to be viewed as attractive, Olivia had an influx of friends and invitations. She never assumed it was because of her brothers, she was a friendly soul and thought people liked it, but more often than not it was because of the three boys. "Yes, yes, but I am hoping that once Christopher marries, the other two will think it a good idea and hurry to the alter, but you know his temperament and that he still pines for Helene, poor dear." But honestly she was not trying to get her brothers married off, she would miss them far too much.
That was always one of the questions Olivia was frequently asked, with three older brothers that each fancied themselves father and protector over her, many were curious as to how she got on. "They are actually rather entertaining. Oh but Lucas has become so talented with his sketches, he should come to visit Charles soon and when he does you must ask him to show you his book."
Her eyes scanned the table, "My, everyone always says your cook is the envy of all cooks, I can certainly believe it." she reached out and took a cake, biting into it in the most lady-like manner she was capable of. Once her mouth was empty she smiled to Patience. "Oh yes, now that is the proper way to make a cake."
