As Geoffrey was seated inside his car about to leave the palace, he saw through the window that Charlton's mother, Princess Georgina, alighted her car. He furrowed his brows. What could she be doing there? He wondered. She rarely ever visits.

Geoffrey arrived at the gates of Maxwell's ducal mansion at 2 in the afternoon. It was a change from always coming in the dark of the night.
He and his men were welcomed formally as he sent his card ahead of time.

In the end, he decided that it's better to just send one so he could see what Serena would do in preparation to receive him.
