"What's wrong with your neck, Benedict?" asks his youngest sister while she follows him. "Is it to do with your allergies?"
"Yes," Benedict replies, "and it's quite better, thank you." He says it to both, but rather pointedly to Silver.
There are plenty of places to sit in the parlor, mostly because the home is massive and there are really endless places to put furniture, but Benedict likes to think that the Bridgerton house is rather tasteful. He makes sure Max is comfortable before taking a seat beside Silver. With Colin still on his European tour, and Anthony running late as usual, it's up to Benedict to keep an eye on things while his mother likely fusses with the maids over the lay of the table.
Luckily, Eloise and Francesca immediately gravitate to Max, both entranced by the idea of a self made woman. But before Benedict can say anything to Silver, his youngest brother has to ask, "How did you lose your leg? Was it in a fantastic fight, via canon ball?"
"Gregory," Benedict admonishes (though quite fondly), "we musn't be rude."
