Mervinia was not sure how to feel about Darius. She felt flattered by the compliment Darius was giving her, but at the same time, was he not just talking to another lady? She gave him a small nod, while fanning herself and touching her hair with her other hand, indicating she had heard what he had said, but not quite eager to reply to him. She was not quite sure what this gentlemen wanted from her, why was he even talking to her in first place?
“Mr. Cuthbert, your introduction is most gracious, while I cannot say I have had the pleasure of having heard of your name, I appreciate your kind words. I am Mervinia Northwick, and I am pleased to have this opportunity to meet you. While I may not possess the honor of widespread recognition, I am certain our conversation will be both pleasant and engaging.” She looked at her fan as she spoke these words. In reality, Mervinia was mostly talking out of politeness and according to social norms, not necessary excited about this conversation. "This is quite a lovely venue, isn’t it? Have you attended similar gatherings before? She hoped in this manner she might be able to gather more information about the lady he was previously talking to, without being too direct.
