Background

Your Character
Although she is shown introducing you in the aristocratic society's ball, you first meet her when you take a tour of the Barrington estate with your friend, Nigel. Her tour is very factual and dry to your dismay as you wanted scandal and intrigue; instead she talks about the mechanics of the dumb waiter system and the flooring and tapestries. She is the one to point out Lord/Lady Montjoy to you and the rest of the tourists.

Her opinion and attitude changes on whether or not you ask for her help in Chapter 8 before the Royal Ascot. If you take the premium lesson with her, she is nicer and kinder to you and becomes your ally. If you don't, she reminds you not to embarrass the Montjoys by gawping. In Chapter 10, as your ally with Cecile, she doesn't understand why you'd betray the Montjoys; as your acquaintance, she angrily joins in the accusations and Cecile is nowhere to be seen.

Cecile Whiting
If you take an etiquette lesson with Juliet in Chapter 8, you see the little glances that she and Cecile, the estate manager, exchange. When you mention their mutual interest in each other, Juliet asks you not to mention it to the Montjoys as they are both employees of the estate and it would be frowned upon. You also encourage their interest in each other in Chapter 9, and if Juliet is your ally, both women will be confused as to your reasons behind the expose article in Chapter 10.

Trivia
