Albin steps forward. "Good morning, sir. My name is Albin, I too have escaped the Revolution in France. It is a pleasure to meet you under such horrible circumstances," He holds his hand out to shake.
I nod and shake his hand. "It's nice to meet you too. I'm glad to see we weren't the only ones lucky enough to escape," I say, not taking my eyes off him, studying his face carefully. "I'm Gaspard," Then eventually I step to the side and nod to Elisabeth, "And this is my wife, Elisabeth and our children, Louis, Marie and Amelie," I nod to them each respectively.

I look between them all, silently.
I stand and go to greet him myself, "Indeed."

Albin takes her hand and bows, kissing her knuckles. "Pleasure to meet you, madmoiselle,"

I smile, "Likewise, monsieur."
"Would you like to join us for some afternoon tea?"

"That would be nice," I say with a slight nod, inwardly sighing, already getting fed up with 'afternoon tea'. It's all these people do.
"I will tell the maids to prepare some tea," I say, glancing from one man to the next, all of whom were ignoring me. No wonder I acted out. Although, having three men in my house, two of which were very handsome, did appeal to me.

I simpley nod again, not having much to say in a strangers presense."Good." I tell Katherine, though I expected her to do that anyway.. "Uhm, so, let's head to the living room. You may leave the children with a maid or something."  I suggest.

"Yes, alright," I nod, and turn back to the room. "Children, come here a moment please," I call them.
"Yes, papa?" Louis speaks up.
"Your mother and I have some business to attend to," I say, simplifying it for them really. "Louis, take your sisters down to the maids quarters. We will come and collect you when we are finished," I nod and then take Elisabeths hand, following the others down to the lounge.

Louis does as his father tells him.
I give Gaspard a smile as we head with the two men to a sitting room.

I sit down in the living room and after a few moments silence I eventually speak up. "I don't recall seeing you around Versaille," I say to Albin. "What was your job in France?" I ask, conversationally.
I join them in the sitting room eventually, with the maid following behind me with a tray of tea. I sit down next to my husband on the couch.
