Sadie nodded and return the greeting, passing by and returning to what she was saying to Nettie. She didn't make it too much farther down the path when she heard the other young woman calling to her. "Oh!" Sadie hadn't even felt it slip through her skirts out of her pocket. "Thank you so much, that would have been just abysmal." It had escaped both hers and Nettie's attention (probably because Sadie was talking her maid's ear off as usual) and it would have ended poorly. There was quite a bit of spending money in there for her to use today and she would have hated to explain that she'd lost it.
"That was very kind of you," she added as she took back her reticule. "How embarrassing, my aunt would have been so cross." Sadie was trying to do anything she could to stay here in Hogsmeade, that certainly wouldn't have helped!
