Renate smiled at the woman. What a way to push herself into a conversation she thought! Though she was truthfully glad to have been interrupted. Had she really told that usher that wilkie was her brother? Imagine! Why she would have to write her papa about that...except he was certain to scold her about honest. She sighed.


"Actually we had better get into the theater." She nodded to Wilkie and hoped he coudl catch her tone. "The show's about to start! I hope we can catch you afterward though..." she trailed off with her best polite voice. She would just have to be careful to get out of there fast that was all. Feeling a little bold Renate raised her hand and waved to her date before grabbing Wilkie's hand and moving toward the huge double doors. "Come on!" she whispered to him after they were away from Marigold. "You sure have a knack for trouble you know that?"
