Catherine, with her innocent and lively charm, left the young gentlemen around her completely stunned when she was by Anna's side.
Anna was considered a beauty, but next to Catherine, she seemed to pale in comparison.
Anna's features inherited some of her father's stark lines, while Catherine was the spitting image of Mrs. Navarre, even more radiant than the lady had been in her youth.
Dressed in a light green dress, Catherine complemented Anna in her blue gown. The sisters outshone all the other girls present, and among them, Catherine made Anna look particularly dim.
"Ah," Anna sighed, pinching Catherine's bottom discreetly, "You little rascal, now you've done it, you've drawn everyone's attention here. When you dance later, others are going to bother me."
Catherine laughed and swatted Anna's hand away, saying nonchalantly, "Well, then you should dance too."
"I don't feel like dancing today."
