Nesta remembers having a conversation with her mother while a servant brushed her hair. Her mother had said that Elain was pleasant to look at, but she had no ambition. She did not dream beyond her garden and pretty clothes. She would be an asset on the marriage market if her looks held. However, Nesta's mother had told her that it would be their maneuverings that would win an advantageous match. Her mother thought when the time came for them to marry, her father could go to the continent and find suitable mates.
