'' She doesn't like me, and I understand that. The duke also knew that and decided to use his drawing room for the tea party.'' Annalise smiled.
''His grace's drawing room?!''
''This is his grace drawing room?''
''My husband did talk about it, but I did not expect it to be so beautiful.''
The ladies and the madams wondered in awe as they examined the beautiful room.
''Yes, this is the duke's drawing room,'' Annalise's smile became brighter. Dante really helped her, and she was grateful for it.
Not too humble, not shabby, not too flattery, not too extravagant, and very polite, some madams who were sharp-eyed nodded inwardly, as Annalise was just like a noblewoman. Her beauty was even pleasing to the eye and an additional point.
Some noblewomen snickered in their hearts about the duchess shooting herself in the foot. She did not want the mistress to use the garden, and the duke gave her something better, his drawing room.
