Truthfully, Iris had not washed her hair since the Dowager Queen’s ball. That had been just days before she had walked out of the house with the money that Clara had slipped her, before she was carried away by the Prince.
That had been weeks ago.
"I can't remember."

"Then that's clearly what's wrong with it. I'm sure it's very pretty when it's clean."

"It's no trouble at all," Meg replied cheerfully. "I'm just amazed by my own luck at meeting people this week. You're the second one today, actually."

"I am the one who's lucky to have met you. There are just times in a person's life when they need to be reminded that people are capable of being kind to one another. That not everyone is concerned with only their own well being."

"Yes, but I didn't kidnap you or feed you pastries," Meg retorted, looking up a little dreamily.

Iris wrinkled her nose.
"I'm sorry?"

"His name's Alexei," Meg explained. "I met him today in the park, and he took me to his family's patisserie and bought me a tart..."

Iris bit her lip. The mention of food made her mouth water.
"You have a sweetheart?"

"Oh, heavens no," Meg giggled."I only met him today."

“But gentlemen do not buy young women pastries simply because they have nothing better to do. Are you planning on seeing him again?”
