Voros, feel free add to the setup and how Basil reacts.)
Over the two weeks following the ball, notes have been passed furiously. This leads to events at another party - there is always another party.
Patrina is dressed scandalously. She's in pants. Not only that, with her hair tied up and tucked into her hat, she could pass for a servant. Some will point out that, despite her family's money, she's not true nobility so this sort of impropriety is only to be expected. Others will applaud her initiative to gain her true love.
She climbs up into a second story of the servants quarters where the servants of guests drink, gamble, or just nap until it is time to go home. Patrina slips a bit of opium into the drink of Basil's driver, just enough that he'll sleep until morning.
When the festivities end, Patrina drives the carriage around. Who is going to pay enough attention after a party to notice a change of drivers? Basil gets in. Then, Patrina intends to drive to a hamlet where an understanding priest will be waiting in the morning.
(If Basil is a willing party, then he would know and cooperate, If he is a kidnap victim, he might be too drunk to know he's going the wrong way until the next morning.)
