{ Vincent is taking a brisk walk - exercise is good for the mind and body, you know - looking less like the dapper British gent than usual. Modernity is creeping up on him and he is just the sort to embrace it, bit by bit. }

It really is a shame servants can't be employed here - or am I wrong? Is it more a question of price? I can understand wanting to be well-compensated. I always thought I was an easy Master -

{ Ha ha ha. No. }

There is nothing wrong with living an exciting life. { What are you even trying to say, Vincent. } I don't think I've ever lived so peacefully or so...independently. I'm afraid it's going to my head.

[ clearly Lizzie is already falling into that darn modern teenager behavior, using her phone instead of talking in person. ]

I think it'd be nice to have a few servants around...dressing can still be so difficult. I never know what to wear anymore. Paula chose everything for me.

{ Tut tut, adorable niece! Not that Vincent is any better. }

I do not know how you manage it alone, frankly! The garments women wear are so complicated and the layers -

{ How does he know about all of it? Well. }

Have you considered simpler dresses?

I have and there are so many cute ones! Though they end up being very short... Fashion has certainly changed quite a lot. [ 'Modest' by modern standards was beyond scandalous by Victorian standards. ]

I keep being told it might be easier to wear men's trousers, but as a lady, to do that...

You are a lady no matter what you wear. No one will think less of you. { His tone gentles and he gives her a small smile. } Is knee-length too short, do you think? If you wore tights or hose underneath, it would not be scandalous.
