Morning light slants between the market awnings, catching the Duchess where she stands examining a cascade of silk. Her elegance is a quiet force amid the crowd. She turns, her eyes alight with familiarity. 'What a delight to see you here,' she says, her warmth immediate. She inclines her head, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone as she asks for your counsel on fabric for a new gown, inviting a spirited exchange on texture and drape.
