While you are open to the idea of a <span class="mu-s">properly</span>-sized parasol, you have no intention of being in the Mount the day after tomorrow. Moreover, it has been so long since you gave your cover story, you don't remember if the wedding that you were going to attend in this dress was going to be on Titheday tomorrow night or not, so you are not eager to confuse things on that account ... but if you were to ask to keep this parasol until then, you could side-step that. If it turned out that in two days, you were still in Scrimshaw Mount, then you would have the option available - if you weren't then ... well, perhaps it could act as a bit of a false trail, somehow. You are not exactly sure how but it feels like something father might have done so you get quite keen, quite quick to the idea. Of course, you had come up with other options earlier - prorating the commission, which still would probably take some selling or attempting to wheedle on the floor model parasols, which she might be more receptive to.
> Please choose ONE of the following:
> With the prospect of having an appropriately sized one, your attraction to this beanpole is fading. Look to leave it behind here - your hat and veil should be enough for this rain, even if you don't leave here with one of the floor model parasols.
> You still rather like the idea of having a parasol that can potentially double as a quarterstaff ... even though you have no idea how to use a quarterstaff. Besides, birds of a feather should flock together. You will figure something out for this one.
> Please choose ONE of the following:
> Accept Cassandra's offer for a replacement parasol the day after tomorrow, even though you don't intend to be around to pick it up.
> Ask Cassandra for one of the floor model parasols instead. Honestly, it isn't that unreasonable, right?
> Seek to have your commission prorated on account of 'overlarge stomachs'. Might require rolling.
