A tinkling laugh danced over Lucille's lips. "Perhaps." She agreed looking up at him with a smile. "But then again, I think I'm quite lucky you found me. I might have been lost in this crowd until supper with no one I know, and then where would I be?" She spread her hands out before her in a vague gesture as she tilted her head up at him.

No, it really hadn't been. What with half of the social scene stuck in one location and the other free to do as they pleased. She could only imagine Helga's complaints. Granted, she'd seen many of them in her letters this summer.

"Oh, that sounds like Helga." Lucy gave him a knowing and sympathetic look. Helga had done that to her and Nora before a time or two. Really when it came down to it it was always for their own benefit, Lucy knew that. "You can practice on me." She offered helpfully, adding coyly, "After all, I'm glad you did come. I might be lost forever, if you hadn't."
