Hattie tries to keep a patient expression as she listens to Eponine. There was legitimate amusement as she tried to picture how her maid possibly acted as a grand lady- she could pull it off one day. Maybe. Possibly. With her help, at least. "Of course he did, that was exactly how I had planned with your attire."

"Yes, it comes to no surprise that you do not know how to dance. However it isn't something that a maid needs to know, and it's far too time consuming to teach everything." she reaches out to gently cup Eponine's cheek with a small smile, "Well it doesn't have to be the last. There will most certainly be another dance in December, and if you would like I could teach you how to impress him even more. But, you need to work a bit more seriously, Eponine."

"I think you understand that as long as you have me around, I can make even more of your dreams come true.. Right?"
