With the shops in Diagon Alley and in Hogsmeade Benevolences business was booming, between the floristry work and breeding her own plants she was constantly busy and didnt have time for anything even remotely resembled the duties of  a debutante other than the occaisional public ball she didnt manage to get out at all not that she complained about it.  She rarely had time to do any of the floral arrangement work herself, leaving it to the shop girls to make up and the errand boys to deliver.  Still, there were a few customers she took care of herself and the Finch family was one of them. 

While most of those she took care of personally were snobbish older ladies who liked the idea of the shop owner taking care of their order, Benevolence dealt with and delivered Mrs. Finch's order because it also afforded her an oppertunity to catch up with Melody.  It had been a few weeks since they had made time to meet, Christmas was a busy time in the shop between house hold decorations and fashionable gifts Ben hadn't had much time to herself since the end of November. 

She dropped off the arrangements with housekeeper and was shown into the parlour, where a maid brought in some tea for her while she waited.
