HELLA QUEER
Ferdinand was taken aback by the English Lord and his extensive knowledge of brewery. (And his greeting in German) He was happy to answer the young lad's questions about the process and other sorts. When the subject of his daughter came up he chuckled. "Ah yes. Mine daughter Rosaline. She is here somevhere vis her translator Margot." Ferdinand's accent was thick. You could easily conclude he was a German. Raymond pointed over to Rosie and Margot with a redhead and another lord.
"Over there Papa." He said. Ferdinand smiled and nodded.
"Yes zere she is. Please, follow me." Ferdinand gestured for Granville to follow him in the direction of his daughter.

Rosaline Miriam Adler
Rosie stifled a chuckle as the lord introduced himself. He was an interesting character to say the least. He fumbled over to words and was doing his best to impress, so Rosaline just smiled and nodded to him. "Pleased to make your acquaintance...Bingo?" Rosie couldn't help but giggle at the nickname. It was just so outrageous. She had never met anyone like this lord in New York or any of the other parties she had attended before. "I think this Bingo man will grow on me..." She thought to herself. Next to introduce was the redhead, or Josephine. A beautiful name for a beautiful woman. Rosie smiled and gave Josephine a nod as well. "It's a pleasure Lady Josephine." Rosie was about to continue speaking with the two when she saw her father approach. Her stomach lurched as he came closer. Her thoughts immediately went to the worst. "Why is he coming over here? What does he think of me talking to Josephine?" A million of these worse case senarios ran through her brain as he finally made his way over to the group.
"Hallo everyvon." He greeted, both speaking and signing. "I hope I am not interrupting anysing." He gestured to Granville "Rosaline, zis is Captain Alfred Granville. He vished to make your acquaintance." Rosie felt her heart finally return to her chest.
"Oh..." She smiled and gave him a polite nod of the head. "Pleased to meet you Captain Granville." She signed to him as Margot translated. "I hope you do not mind my round about way of communicating. I have been deaf for most of my life and this is the easiest way for me to speak with people." Rosie was starting to get a bit overwhelmed with all of the people around her. It was alright when it was just Josephine and Barnaby. But now her father and Granville were there as well. Not to mention Margot. (But Margot didn't really count; the two of them were practically attached at the hip during social events.) Rosaline did her best to keep her composure and not run and hide and embarrass herself and her entire family in front of so many lords and ladies of the court. Was it hot in here or was it just her?

Lyle James Montagu
Lyle could see the change in Ellanora's demeanor. She was quite obviously nervous about speaking of her family. But she admitted nonetheless she was mixed. Lyle wasn't surprised, in fact that's what he had expected. However he didn't expect her to be the bastard daughter of a house slave. It was then that he remembered that not long ago was slavery abolished in America. While he would admit that people were not kind to blacks in England, slavery had been abolished for quite some time now and minds were beginning to shift. However he could see this was not the case were Ellanora came from. He cleared his throat and nodded. "I see..." He said simply. He paused for a minute before continuing. "I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable at all Milady. I was simply curious and it tends to get the better of me." He gave her a reassuring smile. "If it makes you feel better I am also mixed. Though I suppose my plight is not as harsh as yours. I still get quite the clout for being half-french in an English court. " He chuckled a bit. A footman passed by with a tray of drinks and he grabbed two from him. He handed her the glass with a smile. "Perhaps some spirits while we talk?" He suggested.
