Jane looked out the window at the young ladies the carriages passed. "Why are they gathering so many flowers? Some of them have flowers in their hair."
"Oh. I forgot about the festival. There will be a large gathering around this time where the entire countryside attends. The ladies make headpieces out of flowers to match their dresses, and by the end of the night, they offer them to a gentleman," Eloise explained.
"You can have the headpiece with no intention of offering it to anyone. Or, you can offer it to Damien. It is not all about being romantic. If you see anyone without flowers, you can offer them one," said Eloise.
"So, it is a giant gathering about making everyone happy?" Jane asked, uncertain if she wanted to attend. "Are those ladies with their mothers?"
"Yes. If you like, I can take you to get flowers and make headpieces. The ladies are going to make them together. It is exciting," Eloise said, wanting Jane to try.
