Juliet had a reputation as a mischevious girl, she was sort of proud that she had gotten that little fame. It was not something,she usually did but sometimes, she had the itch to just bend some rules. But she was learning now,that every time that she broke a rule, it brought consequences and the the girl was not very fond of the consequences.The girl had been around New York, as she heard the bells ring of a nearby bell tower signaling that it was time for supper but before she wanted to go to Central Park,Juliet knew that it signal that dinner was soon coming.It was one of those things, that she had to be there as soon as the first course was served or there could be trouble. The girl had received a trashing before, she did not want that it was not a pleasant experience. She did not like to get scolded dinner by her parents about the proper etiquette of young Lady, she hate hearing those lectures. So,the girl tried to conform as much as she could with the rules, even though at times she acted like the thirteen year old girl that she was. Juliet knew that there were limits to her freedom, she tried to walk a fine line between those boundaries. Never stupid enough to make a mistake twice, even though at times she had committed the same mistake but she had learn from those lessons.
The girl kept an eye on her chaperones, she did not want them to crowd anybody as she walked down the Central Park. And to be truthful,the girl was not really allowed to be out alone in Central Park,but her chaperone bend the rules little for her so she would not go crazy in the Estate. Juliet was grateful for that,it allowed her to explore city and visit some places that she would never had if she went with her Mother. In her life everything was structure, so anytime that she got some freedom to go explore and discover New York, the girl appreciated. The chaperone walked closely to her as she continue down the Central Park, the best thing about the Central Park was that it was near her penthouse. It meant that she did not have mingle with commoners, for that she was glad. Juliet opened her parisol as she walked in Central Park.

Lady Catherine wasn't one for spending a day outside, unless there was a gala or garden party involved. However, she was in Central Park today for another purpose of great importance; a meeting with Juliet Capulet. Her Ladyship had been a friend of the family for many years and was now regarded as a sort of godmother to the Capulet's daughter.
Despite the fine weather, Her Ladyship was dressed in a manner that would look uncomfortable to most but was one she was entirely used to; a turquoise skirt suit and pantyhose, with her usual overpriced heels. She looked far too well dressed to be simply wandering around the Park and, as aforementioned, she was indeed there with a purpose.
At length Her Ladyship reached the designated meeting place she had arranged earlier with Juliet; the younger woman had her chaperones with her, as always, and had a parasol out to protect her from the sun. Lady Catherine thought this a good idea, and was surprised she hadn't thought of it herself.
Approaching Juliet, Her Ladyship addressed her.
"Good day, my dear Juliet. I hope you're well."

Summer was one of her favorite times in the calendar, she loved the dresses and all the decorations during the holiday.It seemed the atmosphere in New York was more relax during summer than the rest of the year. Juliet liked that atmosphere,she was happy and not pressure about getting things done quick,she could things at her own pace.But there was another thing that the girl enjoyed about summer,that many eligible boys were back in New York. She knew that she could not go to any parties or balls to meet them but she try meet them in the Central Park. The girl dreamed about meeting a boy that would swept her off her feet.
But all those dreams were just a young girl fantasy,they probably would not come to life. She was just content with meeting somebody that was her same social standing and would provide her the same privilege life that she was accustom to. The girl did not have in mind a dream boy that she loved to meet,she just wanted meet somebody that cared about her. Juliet knew that would be hard and rare,since she was secluded to the Upper East Side,but the girl could dream.It never had stopped her from dreaming about her wedding day and meeting that one boy.
Walking down Central Park were one of the simpler pleasures that the girl enjoyed.Sure,she always had to be accompanied by a chaperone but Juliet did not mind that little inconvenience. The girl enjoyed being outside rather than staying inside all the day in her New York Penthouse .At times, she had to convince her chaperones to go Central Park but the girl always manage to do a good job of getting her chaperones to accompany out to her gardens. It was a break from her daily monotonous routine of her day,the girl always looked forward to it.
Juliet walked slowly accompanied by her chaperones,she was taking the view of the Central Park. She wanted to soak in the environment and see all the people that were in the Central Park that afternoon.That was one of the reasons that she loved coming to the Central Park, she did not know who she could meet out here.
The girl curtesy and smiled at Lady Catherine,it was good sight to meet her god-mother out here.Juliet looked at her,
"I'm well,m'lady.I hope your day is going explendid,Lady de Bourgh."She paused, "You and my mother are two women,I look up to.How can I maintain my class and elegance with so many trashy people around this town,m'lady?"

Lady Catherine smiled at Juliet's formal greeting; she had to admit she appreciated being accorded with the respect she felt she deserved, especially by someone of similar status to herself. It was a welcome change from people who thought her title ridiculous (though Her Ladyship made a point not to mingle with these people often).
"My day is going rather well, dear," she replied, but afforded Juliet no further details as the younger woman continued to speak.
"You and my mother are two women,I look up to.How can I maintain my class and elegance with so many trashy people around this town,m'lady?"
This was a surprisingly awkward question for Lady catherine. While she appreciated Juliet's sentiments when she said she was a woman she looked up to, she didn't entirely approve of her query. The fact she was in Central Park served to emphasize this uneasiness, as it was here she had met Roger Davis all those months ago, altering her perspective of those in poverty in the process. It wasn't as though her snobbery and arrogance had been completely wiped out (she wouldn't be Lady Catherine de Bourgh if not a snob) but it could not be denied this meeting had had an effect. It was due to this that she answered the question with a degree of hesitation, choosing her words carefully.
"I will admit this city has its fair share of unsavoury characters. but doesn't everywhere else? I think you need not worry about maintaining what is expected of a woman of your status, so long as you abide by the social protocol and etiquette that is expected of you."
