<strong> The Drawing Room</strong><br/><br/><br/>The drawing room now had some more feminine traits to it, flowers had been placed as had a little lace in it was delightful. Now it was time for the ladies to discuss matters that the gentlemen should not hear about. After all they were rather sensitive about certain matters.<br/><br/>Apparently Lady Clarabelle Wilde was becoming thick about the waist, even though her husband had been overseas for some time…and after all she had been seen walking out with a rather younger gentleman of no breeding. Malsika remained quiet and polite, though it appeared that Lady Charlotte made her nervous, also she seemed not to be comfortable in the presence of Rowena, though that may perhaps be because after all she was foreign.<br/><br/>Pieces of the find, of a more feminine nature had been left on display, and the majority of the women were very excited about the jewellery, suggesting that Lord  Williams wife was indeed so lucky and they hoped she would be well soon…though apparently she had always been a little frail. It was suggested there was something of a weak mind and constitution within the family.<br/><br/>Tea, cordial and small treats were offered to all of the ladies. Frankly Charlotte would have preferred cigars and a decent malt.
