Alice was about to express her satisfaction when Opal chimed in with a bright smile.

"She's indeed a fine girl, and we are all quite pleased. However, marriage is a serious matter and shouldn't be rushed. Why don't we each go back and discuss this with our families? After all, Ms. Sanford hasn't said whether she likes Thomas, and they've only just met today. It's best to first understand her feelings."

Gemma replied, "That wouldn't be difficult. I can ask her right away."

Opal chuckled. "Let's not be too hasty. If you send someone in to ask her like this, it might offend us if she says she doesn't like him. If she says she does, it could make her seem eager, which wouldn't look good for a young lady. Since both our families have already met a couple of times, it wouldn't hurt to meet again. After all, her parents aren't in the capital, and her feelings are what truly matter. What do you think, Madam Gemma?"

With such reasonable arguments, Gemma found it hard to dispute Opal. After all, a match between their families shouldn't be rushed. Both were noble households. Still, the urgency was palpable.

Alice didn't fully understand Opal's reasoning. But on reflection, it made sense. If they asked Lisette now, would it be better if she rejected Thomas outright or merely hesitated? If she liked him, saying so would make her seem desperate to marry, and no woman wanted to come across that way. Conversely, if she liked him but claimed otherwise, that wouldn't be good either.

Violet admired Opal's carefulness. Her meticulous nature was truly commendable.
