Anastasia smiled, not knowing how to respond to the compliment. She could not continue to belittle herself but she dare not claim perfection.
"Anastasia, this is Lady Williams, my father's wife, and these are my sisters, Bridget and Beatrice," Rosalind introduced.
Anastasia curtsied with a smile. "I am pleased to be acquainted with you," she said.
"It is an honor to make your acquaintance," Bridget and Beatrice curtsied back with smiles. They were already thinking about how to become close friends with her.
Lady Williams nodded, maintaining the proper posture of the lady of the house. "I will leave you ladies to get along," she said and left the room.
