Indiscreet (2015)
“Lipton on one side and Sir Clayton Baird on the other. Although Mrs. Adams’s greeting had been noticeably cool, everyone else had been courteous and even amiable. She pushed to the back of her mind the knowledge that she looked far plainer than any other lady present. She wore the same green gown she had worn to every evening entertainment for the past two years. And her mother’s pearls. She rarely wore those now except on very special occasions.
It did not matter that she was plainly and u...nfashionably dressed. She had not come in order to be noticed. Merely to enjoy an evening in company. And of course when they adjourned to the ballroom and were joined there by other guests, who had not been invited to dinner, she found that she was no more plainly dressed than several of the wives and daughters of tenant farmers.
She danced the first set of country dances with one of the tenants. She smiled at him and set herself to enjoy the evening.MoreLess
