Ten minutes into waiting and Lady Iryne was still cautioning Sigrid on the dangers of associating too closely with other men.

"And you two." She turned to Mauve and Christie. "I am not cautioning only my daughter, this advice is for both of you as well. Not only do you have to keep men with open and disguised hidden intentions away from Sigrid but yourselves as well.
