What it sounds like
You’re so ordinary that nobody would think you were Lady Whistledown.
What it really means
“Your social invisibility made it easy to hide in plain sight—and I’m enjoying how little people notice you.”
Said today
“You’re so easy to overlook that nobody would ever guess you were behind it.”
What was happening
Cressida has just revealed that she knows Penelope is Lady Whistledown. She explains that Penelope’s ability to go unnoticed helped her keep the secret, turning that advantage into a personal insult.
