"A small piece should be enough demonstration of your skills, Lady Shirley," the Lord changed his words with a gentle smile on his lips.
Vivian who stood behind Leonard peeked to see the Lady smile queasily. For a person who had lied and claimed something which wasn't hers, Vivian didn't need to know that the Lady didn't know how to knit. With everyone's eyes on the Lady, the distress was showing up clear on her pretty face.
Vivian's eyes kept going back and forth between the people and Lady Shirley who were anticipating for her to start knitting. The Lady had tried working both the needles together but every time she tried moving it, it would only end up tangling with each other.
When a good minute passed with Lady Shirley trying to get it the needles working with the wool which only failed with every try, few of the people in the room couldn't hide their amusement.
"Ah, I think I am unable to get it right today," said Lady Shirley with an uneasy smile.
