<strong>Katrina d'Errineiu</strong>, Carriage #3 [Kolette de Brest, Antoine"tte" LaFleur, Estelle d’Attaine, Viktor Martin, Justine Sade]<br/><br/>Though Estelle addressed Antoinette, Kat leant forward again to answer. She had been enjoying the byplay, and her friend's barbed comments, and was not one to hang back too much when there was fun to be had.<br/><br/>"Oh, my dear Estelle, I fear you give yourself too little credit," she said sweetly, and planted her own barb. "Everyone knows that a<em>lady </em>is always a mystery to be unwrapped. Of a certain, we noble ladies all have our secrets, and what fun would life be without them?"<br/><br/>That said, she squeezed Antoinette's hand in a friendly display, and took Estelle's conversational gambit to return to the topic of the house they were to visit. Herr smiling gaze flitted around the carriage, focussing brightly on each in turn.<br/><br/>"And Avonleigh may not have as deep a mystery as it seems, for we have already two proposed ways to unravel the secrets of that place. If Kolette is right - and while Viktor is in general correct, I find that 'they' are unusually honest with my dear friends here - then the spectres of that awful night still haunt that place, and through them we may be the ones to learn the no-doubt ghastly truth. Perhaps it will be prove to be less a mystery than some of our companions?"<br/>
