What it sounds like
You are a dull, unremarkable wallflower.
What it really means
“Eloise is calling Penelope boring and socially overlooked, using the very label Penelope has lived with to wound her.”
Said today
“You’re a painfully dull nobody, and a wallflower after all.”
What was happening
During their bitter confrontation, Penelope admits she is Lady Whistledown, and Eloise accuses her of betraying friends and family for money. After saying she feels only pity, Eloise twists the familiar image of Penelope as a wallflower into a cutting put-down.
