When Beauty opened the door, her smile slid, then flared again even brighter than before.
"You must be Effie!" she exclaimed. "Oh, I'm so glad you came. I'm Honour -- well, most everyone calls me 'Beauty' - and I've been wanting to meet you! Come in, come in!"
Beauty pressed a champagne flute into Effie's hand as she directed the young woman into the cottage. "Please make yourself at home! Do you know everyone? Logan...? Megan? This is Effie Nigma-Banner!"
And although she didn't follow Effie into the cottage - there was still the manner of guests to greet - she was very careful to be sure that the young woman didn't feel alone.
