Sweet Disposition

[Viola Prince]

A small smile graced her lips as the man admitted that the handsome timepiece had been his father’s, and it reminded her main of the reason she had come to Mr. Scamander’s education fund that day, and she stifled a disappointed sigh. If she desired to speak to her father, and inquire into his affairs and well-being, the simplest thing to do, she knew, was to pick up her quill and write him a letter. It would not have to be a long letter, at least a paragraph or more containing the usual pleasantries and polite inquiries, but she feared that the attempt to contact him would be fruitless, and she did not desire to disrupt the steady peace (of silence) that was between them.

Intently focused on her own thoughts, Viola nearly missed the man’s inquiry of whether or not she was enjoying the event, but once she registered the question, she affably answered, “Oh yes, quite, sir. It has been a lovely afternoon thus far, and being a firm believer in education, I am quite glad that the event is turning out so well.” Of course, her main priority had been to catch a glimpse and perhaps even a conversation with her father, but she had also wished to show her support to Mr. Scamander’s cause, which she thought to be a generous and just one.

"What of yourself, sir?," she inquired after a moment, remembering her manners. "Are you enjoying the event, as well?"
