"my dance card?" the princess repeated, then quickly shook her head. "oh, it's completely full. or lost.. or both." teeth captured her bottom lip as she raised her hands, nose wrinkling a little, noticing that she had actually, in fact, lost the card. "such a shame." light sarcasm laced those final few words.
"Is it?" Kate played along, feeling much empathy towards the lady before her. "Well that's such a shame, isn't it?" Although it was custom for all out ladies to have a dance card, Mary had obliged Kate when she recommended herself to abstain, the more suitors for Edwina that way. She only hoped that the Queen didn't notice, as her small family had not been in her favor due to Mary's prompt exit, years ago. "Perhaps if I see it, I'll let you know." Kate winked.
