Jack was caught up in himself. How could he have been so foolish? Such an obvious mistake. An 18th century party, didn't it stand to reason that would include the whole century, not just the part's she'd experienced?
What he'd tried so hard (and failed before) to keep her from, he was again thrusting right in her face. The rooms were full of paintings and writings and people talking about things that would happen both to her and her country, and he was placing her in the eye of the storm.
He turned from where he'd been and tried to find Reinette, only to spot her with an unappealing man lips locked to hers. He walked over as she left him in a way that seemed to dispatch him in no uncertain terms, and he put a hand to her shoulder.
"Getting the party started early are we?" He paused only a moment. "And by the way, we should go, I'm an idiot. We should really go."
