[NICOLE]

How are your studies? Mother requested that I go over mock-ups of your invitations with you, for the debut, as well as the other details. I shall be asking Charlotte to sit in as well, if that is alright with you.

And of course you may ask whichever of your friends you would like the advice of, should they behave appropriately. This coming weekend, I think?

[CHARLOTTE]

Will you do me the favour of assisting me with Nicole's plans? Mother would like firm decisions quite soon, and while I would normally quite happily offer my sister the benefit of my advice, I am afraid my talents do not extend very far into the cut and colour of dresses, or seating arrangements.

Checkmate.

That makes it 505 to 498, Charlotte.
