The idea of another man in Marian's life surprises her. Not that it's beyond belief — she's a fetching woman, and a Lady — but the idea that there's a man out there who could make her look more in love than she does at the mere mention of Caspian is a shock.
She's careful with her words, wondering if she hasn't intruded on sensitive territory. Just because Marian is 'otherwise engaged' doesn't mean it's the same for Caspian.
"I beg your pardon. I must've jus' — " She shrugs, chuckling helplessly. "I was mistaken."
