It is the polar opposite of Duchess Taylor, whose face visibly darkens. I have a feeling that it has something to do with Katya's last sentence and vow to look into her background when I have the chance.
A maid posted at the door shuffles to where Katya is seated and whispers in her ears. I already know what it is and scream, "Hallelujah!" at the top of my lungs. Just kidding, I say it in my head.
