"My dear, your regular morning thing to do will be to sleep, as soon as you get started socially. We must look over your clothes and get Madame Sonci started on some new gowns, and that will take time. We'll keep you busy enough, never fear."

"Thanks. You see, I'm used to being busy. At school we had things to do every hour of the day, so it's pretty hard to drift."
