As for what comes to Natsuhi in episode 1's parlor scene, she definitely has to leave at the exact moment that Battler throws the candlestick. That is, after Maria mentions Beatrice. They don't talk that long with Maria, so she has had to act fast, and I don't think the time there would have allowed her to crab a letter from the ground, open it up, and read it, unless it would have been extremely short letter.
A funny thing about the ending of episode 1, though, is that both George and Jessica basically drive them forward the whole time. The moment the phone rings, both Jessica and George urge Natsuhi to answer it, which is then followed by George remembering that Maria mentioned parlor. They also spot Maria first, and George is first to point out that Natsuhi is gone. To me, it feels bit similiar how Hideyoshi and Eva are unusually pushy in episode 5 when it comes to cornering Natsuhi with accusiations.
