Penny thought to herself, “Susan must be pretending to be foolish.”

She must not be deceived by Susan’s act.

Penny took a deep breath, performed an elegant curtsy, and then sat down at the piano.

“Miss Nicholas’s demeanor is so graceful,” complimented Susan.

Penny’s every move was indeed beautiful.

After all, she had undergone years of deportment training; every stillness and motion was exquisitely graceful.
