"I'll see what I can do. Now, you two run along - I've got plenty of work to do to make sure the both of you look your very best for ball." Alex makes a small shooing motion at Verity in Amelia's direction, since the girl seems to be decidedly not paying attention at the moment. At least, that's how it looks. In reality, she's been listening the whole time and she turns when she hears Alex's comment, motioning Verity over to look at all the fun buttons. No need to worry, Verity, Amelia wouldn't deprive you of your chance to look at all the shiny things!
