[She paused on the video before speaking, looking uncommonly serious for someone usually so full of laughter, drawing a slow breath in. Trying to find words that were... discreet, not completely applicable to her. She was, at times, capable of such things.

There has been just the one thing on her mind, for all she was trying to remake her friendship with Bess. A quiet niggling, but it was more then that, it was a deep seated anxiety, and for once, it showed. Before it had been a case of out of sight, out of mind. But now? Now it was different.]

Tell me... has anyone every had someone appear that they... they came from the same place, so to speak? And... if they were bound in some way...

[she chewed on her lip for a second.]

... would you still be expected to honour that bond? Even in your heart you did not want to, and you were loathe to be in that persons presence even a little?

[she didn't hate her husband, necessarily, but she knew, it was a mistake for her to ever be around him. Nor could she forgive him, and she was just starting to enjoy herself here.]

[She almost starts laughing.]

If you speak of the revolution in America and very soon in France, I'm well aware of some of ways they which they won. ...But then again, I campaigned very hard for the merchants to win those rights myself, I am nobility, and I am very much cared about...

Whatever you say. That's still a long time ago for me. A lot changed after that, my lady. [She was almost tempted to tell her how the French Revolution went. It wasn't her favorite history chapter by any stretch, but while she was wanting to be helpful, there was always that faint bit of delight in taking the smug look off someone's face. She did, however, have some self-control.]

I think I'll stick to miss. M'lady just sounds weird coming from me.

They may well happen, but they have not happened yet for me, and I do my best so that many things do change, even if I am only a woman. [All of Europe is watching what is happening in France with suspicious eyes.]

'My lady' sounds exceptional medieval, in my case. I am only amused because Miss is used for unwed girls, and it has been a long, long time since I was anything near that.

Yeah, good luck with that. Oh, married? Yeah, the Mrs. Cavendish would be a better choice, wouldn't it?

Yes, I think it would.

[Only she was trying to be less formal here. As much as she had stuck her back up about. It was just how she responded, her own quiet way of defining herself against what other people thought.

Everyone fought in their own ways.]

Well then, Mrs Cavendish, until the next time you need relationship advice from strangers, I bid you good day.

And you, again thank-you.
