Also, Amaryllis and Marian talk briefly during her piano lesson--Amaryllis asks if she 'can' get a glass of water, and Marian corrects her ("'May' I get a glass of water?") and again when Amaryllis asks if she 'can' play her crosshand piece.

I would argue that the conversation between Marian and her mother counts as well. It begins by talking about Professor Hill, but moves on to the library and education.

Also the ladies' 'dance troupe' while they are discussing/doing their exercises.
