Pleased to have moved away from a conversation from Henrietta's (still young!) brother, Helga narrowed in on what could be the focal point of the next few months until the season arrived: Henrietta's future prospects. Now, she would never admit it, but their prospects varied vastly; Henrietta was more likely to marry a wealthy man but unlikely to marry into the Prewetts or the Abercrombies like Helga hoped. No, Helga had a better chance to marry into one of the old-money pureblooded families on blood alone, although she was still more likely to marry someone like Eugene. She hoped not.
"Well of course!" she said brightly. "You need not be out to have an idea of what man would attract you. Appearances, occupation, family size and reputation. There are plenty of factors that will influence your future happiness and you need to think about it before you debut!"
