Mrs. Katherine Saunders and clan visit The Silver Thimble

A select salon for those with money to spend who understand that dressing well is not a luxury but a necessity. The Silver Thimble has a tasteful sign that hangs above a pretty bay window in which a few fabrics are carefully draped. Inside is lavishly decorated: there is a dark, sweeping cherry wood counter for sales, clear glass cabinets and a consultation room that practically exhales the sofas and coffee table nested therein. Cabinets around the shop hint that merchandise is stored there but nothing is on display. Indeed, it's well known that if you wish to see a garment then the shop girl will fetch it to you as you take tea with the proprietor. Highly unusual, it is run by a women - one Miss Valentina Audley. Kindred know her as the Master Seamstress of Bath, Clan Toreador, which would explain the odd closing hours.

(Swainswick inclined his head to avoid intruding into the conversation further, quietly confirming: "of course, Mrs. Saunders.")
"...[A] young man, tall, and of elegant proportion, dark locks combed neatly into place atop a high forehead. Deep blue eyes are set in an intelligent face ...; his physiognomy on the whole speaking of studious attentiveness."

A cousin of his? Well, if they didn't know she'd done enough hinting for one night Valentina decided. She makes a mental note to collar Mr Black next time he's needed for a fitting and see what the other arrangements for the wedding are.

Instead she smiles angelically at Katherine. "My dear Mrs Saunders, how kind you are to say so. I believe Miss Wilkins has wrapped the items you choose earlier and if you will be so kind as to supply Mr Swainswick with an address we can correspond to arrange both fittings and delivery."

She stands and addresses them all, smiling gently. "Darlings, is there anything else I can help anyone with before we part ways?"
Only proper in public darling...
