"Tell me," she said pulling Jeffrey's arm. She looked like a lost child looking for her way home. Her appearance immediately made everyone in the courtroom pity her.
"She is right? Of course, she is. Lady Catherine is a cultured woman. She would not go about spreading false rumors about the prince. She is married to his brother and her father is General Thompson. Sure one or both of them must have confirmed the rumors to her," Ellen said and smirked at Jeffery. The Smirk was so fast that if Jeffery had not been paying close attention to her facial expression he would have missed it.
"No, your highness these are just baseless rumors. Lady Cathrine was just angry. She was not thinking when she spoke," Jeffrey said as if he was indeed trying to comfort her.
Ellen shook her head in denial and fell unto her sit. There was nothing Elegant or graceful about her action. She planned to make everyone pity her. Once she gained their pity she was sure of winning.
