"A failed elopement? Ravished?" Patience said, much more horrified to hear there were rumours about her virtue than that she might have been stabbed. A stabbing was hardly fatal to ones social standing, only ones life. "Whoever could have come up with such a story? I'm so sorry my dear for calling you a gossip. You were right to tell them the truth of the tale. I wouldn’t want anyone to think I’d tried to elope!"

"I told them as much, coz." Angel took Patience's arm and smiled reassuringly. "It is just not in you to be so scandalous and I haven't any idea who would say such outrageous things. No, I think it was more a matter of who you were with," she said and lowered her voice. "I fear the Laurents were somewhat... looked down on in Versailles and it made them the target of some wretched gossip. Nothing true of course," she lied smoothly and even managed to look sad about it. She had been a tad livid with the outrageous gossip- it was such a stupidly contrived rumor for one and in any case, subtlety was much more amusing.

"I am glad you forgive me. Now you shan't have reason not to help me plan the ball papa has decided to allow me to give next month!"

"Looked down on?" Patience said, rather worried then. She could hardly be seen with a family who had a bad reputation, even if it might be one only known of in France. After all, Angélique knew of it and she was family. "What sort of gossip, Angel?"

"Another ball!" Patience said, perking up immediately at the thought of it. "Oh how delightful. I will certainly help you!"
