Jane smiled hearing that Catherine would be staying for tea.  "Wonderful."  She turned to motion to her maid who in turn went to pull the bell for another maid to take care of it.  It was only a moment later when a maid came in to be told the request quietly by Jane's maid.

That was taken care of as Mrs. Ripley and Jane listened to the news about the ball.  Mrs. Ripley glanced at Jane hoping the young woman would accept the invitation.  Jane had not gone to any social events since her accident, only small dinners that were close friends or the nuns back in Sweden. 

Jane loved hearing about the ball, but her expression made it clear that she wasn't sure she would be a good guest for a festive event.  She glanced at the wheels.  "Thank you so much, but are you sure you would want me there for your special day?  The chair ...."  She went softly to silence.  "I so know it would be lovely and all the people in dresses and dancing."  She smiled trying not to focus on the chair.
