Molly's attention is also drawn to the sound of his name being called and she turns to see the woman who is clearly high society London and clearly a fan of Sherlock Holmes.
Molly stays about a step behind Sherlock, knowing this woman has no interest in her and expecting to just be an awkward bystander to the exchange. What she does not at all expect is the way Sherlock makes it a grand point to introduce her to this woman, and as his date no less. She tries not to let the shock of it show but can feel her cheeks colour just a bit as she smiles politely at Christabel.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Stafford," Molly manages to say. "It is a gorgeous necklace."
