Talk:Jane Blair/@comment-6301921-20131224182029

Considering she's at her first party at the Boyle mansion, I'm thinking that Jane is probably new money or has just moved up into the higher social circle, which is why she feels the need to proclaim that her cousin is a marquis. She thinks that the other woman is implying that she shouldn't be there, and Jane feels the need to prove that she does belong there and is not just attending the party because she is rich, but because she is related to someone who is noble.
