"Then you're going to be a lady," she promises. She's only been here a month, but she's done her best to present herself as something other than a whore. And if she can do it, then Eponine can do it.
And truthfully, it helps that so many people here are just naturally not as formal as Nancy was used to in polite society.
Nancy hangs back a few steps, watching Eponine take in the bathroom. She'd had the same reaction, and cried for several minutes over the softness of her bed, and the hot water that never seemed to run out. Letting Eponine take her time to see, she moves over to the tub and puts the stopper in before starting to run the water. "Of course," she says sweetly, "Just do the same for someone else, one day. That's all I'd ask."
She gestures to the shelves above the tub. "Anything you want, you can use. Just yell when you need me. I've got towels for you, too- big fluffy ones like the King would have!"
