Do you suppose a countess lives here? [She looks up from the patterned floor that she had been tracing with the tip of her shoe.] I've never seen the home of a countess, before...but I've imagined that they look like this.
It is quite lovely. [She concedes with an enthusiastic smile.] But it does not quite stand up to Avonlea--which is just bout the prettiest place you could ever visit. I knew the moment I first saw it that I would want to live there forever.
[She practically bubbles over with admiration for a place that, in truth, must be far far away. But that did not seem to trouble her. With time enough to take a breath, she launches into a question:] So this is not your home, either?

I-I apologize--I haven't seen any ships since arriving here. But...[she pauses.] I have not been here long, either. Perhaps there is a ship somewhere?
