Roweena was slightly startled when she was approached so quickly. She smiled warmly at the young man.<br/><br/>"Thank you very much, kind sir. I was instructed to stay inside until after dinner. But we can talk in the corner if you like as long as I stay in view of the  everyone and not to allow on male to monopolize my time. I did see you go into father's study and saw you come back out. Mother called for me about the same time you left. I don't believe I caught your name...." Roweena smiled as she looked about the room where the younger ladies were getting all of the other males attention and none were even looking her way.<br/>"But it looks like none are very interested in me anyways. Let's go off into this cozy nook and we can talk for a bit and get to know each other."<br/><br/>Roweena led the young man to a quiet corner where they could be seen and yet talk together quietly before the parents meet up with their daughters and sons.
