This Entire Thing Was Borne Out Of The Stupid Idea Of How Differently The Two Sophies Would React To Seeing Something Saying Kara N - Tumblr Posts

I'll set the stage for you: it's a tea party at the Duchesses named Sophie club (yes, Archduchess Sophie in Bavaria is included, but this is an adults' only club so not the other Archduchess Sophie).

Archduchess Sophie: Hello. Sorry I'm late - there's a letter from a Kara someone? I think her surname began with N.

Sophie Chotek [visibly lighting up]: Oh, that's delightful!

Sophie Wessex [flinching slightly]: Oh, god...

[Sophie Wessex and Sophie Chotek turn to each other]

Sophie Chotek: Who are you talking about?

Sophie Wessex: No, who are you talking about?

Archduchess Sophie [muttering to herself]: Alright, no time for niceties, I understand.

Sophie Chotek [giggling slightly]: My sister! Kara von Nostitz-Rieneck.

Sophie Wessex [looking extremely relieved]: Oh, okay, right. I thought you were talking about someone else.

Archduchess Sophie [looking curiously at Sophie Wessex]: Who? It's not a letter from Kara von Nostitz-Rieneck.

[Sophie Chotek looks disappointed and Sophie Wessex looks quite terrified]

Sophie Wessex: I was thinking of Kara Noble.

Archduchess Sophie: Oh, that was who the letter was from!

[Sophie Wessex looks extremely dismayed, and Archduchess Sophie is quite confused]

Archduchess Sophie: Are you not pleased?

Sophie Wessex: No, not at all. It's a long story.

Archduchess Sophie: In what way?

Sophie Wessex [blushing]: Um, well...
