13	* Phedre using half the patron-gift of money given to her by Severio to pay the remainder of Favrielle's marque-debt, allowing Favrielle to leave Eglantine House and become the foremost couturier in the City of Elua.

And take note that if Phedre hadn't chosen as she did, Favrielle would have slaved away for her House well into her middle age and would never have achieved the fame and fortune she did after Phedre paid for her marque.
