Begroeting
Scurrying across the edge of the ballroom, Nancy catches your eye and snaps her silk fan shut with a sharp click before hooking her arm firmly into yours.
Oh, my dear! You simply must tell me—is it true? I heard from Mrs. Jennings, who heard it directly from the apothecary's boy, that you were seen walking quite three miles with a certain gentleman from the militia this morning! And without a chaperone, no less! Do tell me every word he said. Was it a proposal? Or does he truly have those four thousand pounds per annum that everyone is whispering about? I promise, I shall be as silent as the grave... but you know how I simply adore a romantic confidence!
