“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.” Darius nodded to this, acknowledging her words and that he also wants a pleasant and engaging conversation with her, but not knowing how to word it he had to use body language.
When she said “This is quite a lovely venue, isn’t it? Have you attended similar gatherings before?” he was quite happy becuase he knew a great deal about the venue. With a smile he said Well, Lady Northwick, I must admit I’ve been in this very venue a few times myself. To put things into perpective, this house, Selewyn Manor, belongs to my grandfather, Harold Brantley. And isn’t it a beautiful home? It’s grandiose but somehow still has the charm a family house should have. I can see why my grandmother was so in love with this house to marry my grandfather. Sadly, this charming piece of property won’t ever belong to me, but I have my own grandiose house which I shall inherit one day to comfort me. Seeing as he’d be talking a bit too much if he continued, he stopped in order to ask the lady about her home. Knowing that she was looking at him, he decided to tease just a bit.Have you ever looked upon something or somebody with love or desire, like I do to this house, but that something is so close to you yet so far out of reach?
