With the upcoming season Kate had decided that and update to some of her daughter's wardrobe was necessary. A much disliked request that had involved multiple visits to the modiste who had insisted that Beatrice's measurements had changed. This particular visit was conducted without her mother and instead under her mother’s favorite maid's watchful eye. Or at least... it was supposed too be until Mrs. Albeit made her way out of the store leaving her charge standing in the shop donned in a pinned mockup and no staff in sight.

Confused, she pulled on the provided wizarding robes and made her way out of the curtained room to catch the tail end of the taller blonde woman's statement.  Slowly she crept to the side of the gathering, face pinched. "And my... my maid just up and left the store. And the staff... I think they forgot about me, Mr. Applegate." Beatrice offered, startled to see she recognized the ministry offical as well. He was the man she'd run into a few months prior who played Ekarut.
