Oh.
He was out of cards.
Already.
From what he said it sounded as though he hadn't heard a word she'd been saying the last minute or so! Was that the extent of his disinterest in her? Ursula rose to her feet rather too quickly and had to place a steadying hand on the back of her chair. "I appreciate the sentiment but as I said, this is where it ends for me. I find myself unwell." A frosty manner was all she could conjure up for composure as she started to excuse herself. Charity be damned, she just wanted to go home! "Good evening, Mr. Pettigrew." She did not wish him luck in his games real or metaphorical, she hoped he lost an embarrassing amount of money and went home to a bed that was as cold and empty as his heart. And she hoped it stayed that way.
