Richard sheepishly swapped out his now very violet handkerchief for her clean one. "Thank you, I will have it cleaned and returned to you," he promised. He was at least dried off now albeit purple stained. But that would go away on its own, he knew from experience. He chuckled and waved away her apologies. There was none needed, he felt.
"Accidents happen and the colour will fade away on its own," Richard assured as he pocketed her handkerchief. As he had promised, he would have it cleaned off and send it back to her. "I don't think any expense will occur and I am not so boorish a man that I would require you to pay it."
