I loved the simper, too -- Written by gianni (3/6/2009 11:09 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Ch. 3: Henry had me at "hello", penned by Delories

-- it showed that he had already, in a few minutes' conversation, determined that she was a straightforward, intelligent girl who could appreciate his disdain for the airs some (many?) members of the company put on.

And he was right. She immediately dives into full participation, affecting a serious demeanor while "trying not to laugh". How could she (or we) not be strongly attracted to such an acquaintance!

I see a preview of the entrance of John Thorpe :-).
