Audra fumbled with the stocking she was darning and dropped it in her lap. "Lestrange?" She looked at her two daughters with alarm and willed them to get the hint and go dress to impress. "Why didn't you say so sooner?" Unless it wasn't one of the eligible Lestranges in which case it was marginally less important. Merlin's beard, what was wrong with Ford, didn't he want his sisters to make the best possible impression? How could she make sure they were all putting their best feet forward if she didn't know they needed to?!
"Which Mr. Lestrange, Ford?" She supposed it was also possible it was one of the less impressive branches of the Lestrange family. There was no real reason her daughters couldn't marry a Lestrange but she'd never thought it likely enough to consider. They were a respectable pureblood family but there were other debutantes out there from more advantageous connections and... economic situations. Even when her husband had been alive they had never been living the sort of lifestyle their dinner guest was surely accustomed to. "Oh, ducky, what have you done?" She didn't mean it unkindly but she was starting to slightly panic.
