“Good evening to you as well ladies. I wish I would know your names as you seem to already know mine.” He believed them knowing his name was a bad sign, and as they asked to be pardoned he felt as if they were leaving to mock his family behind his back, but when they apologized for leaving him he was as galant as ever. “Of course, I won’t keep you if you’re needed elsewere.”
The remaining lady started talking and in her words she explained she was in fact absent before. "What a shame you weren’t here for the introduction for I’m sure you would’ve been picked for the diamond. In your absence the next best lady was picked..
She continued by saying she is here tonight and that she only needs to survive this night to which Bainbridge chuckled. "I’m sorry, it’s just those words are almost a replica of what my sister has been saying for days. We only need to survive the introduction, that’s the hardest part. He reminded himself that the night isn’t over, but Abigail has done her introduction and she did good enough. Considering she didn’t plan on marrying yet, he felt it wasn’t necessary for her to be perfect and he preffered the event to go this way anyways. The beautiful redhead spoke to him again.
“Is there anything I can do in the meantime to entertain you Sir Brantly?” He smiled. “Well, your name will do.” he noted how she holds all the cards in this interaction already having known his name and he still has yet to find out what hers is.
