Instead, she focused on Isabella as she was clearly the one in charge as well as the most well dressed.

A small family of what were likely peasants were sleeping together in a corner, child between them.  Two doors remained open leading to what were likely more pristine chambers.

I ask that you and your people distribute themselves in the hall to make yourselves as comfortable as you wish - but only take one of the elite rooms for your lady.  If others come, you are expected to make room for them as well."[/b]

The girl spoke these words matter of factly.  [b]"And Lady Isabella, the Lord will likely invite you to dine later.  Will you be able to attend this meeting?"[/b]  It was rather apparent based on the way she was not looking at the others that this was an invitation solely for her ladyship.
