Clarissa has never gone to a mans home that was not her relation before. She knew it was a little outside of the realm of the usual way of things but she also did not see too much of a difference from when her potential beaus came around for tea. This time around, she had simply reversed the usual location. Her parents and Kenneth were aware of her outting and since Kenneth had work while Clarence had taken his family on a vacation to America, they had entrusted chaperone duty to their most trustworthy maid.

Mister Selwyn was quite respectful of her chaperone, not treating her as if she were not in the room as many people were prone to do. Clarissa appreciated that and the chance it gave her to observe her surroundings whilst Mister Selwyn engaged her chaperone in conversation. The fact that the usually mildly cranky Mrs. Montmiller seemed quite charmed said something positive about Mister Selwyn. Smart of him, she thought. Clarissa could not deny that she was also charmed by the care he had taken to include her chaperone whilst also keeping Clarissa from feeling ignored.

"Oh, yes. I have been looking forward to seeing your home." It was, after all, the entire premise for her being here. "What I have seen thus far is quite lovely."
