Lady Bethany spoke into the long silence as the carriage bowled along a lane beneath a blue summer sky. “Think of them?” Jasper appeared surprised. “Haven’t you noticed there is a certain frisson between them, whenever they are together? Really, Jasper, you can’t be that unobservant.” “I suppose I have noticed a change in Kent since Miss Rotherhild arrived.” “That’s better. A change in what way?” “Well, he’s far more jittery, as if he’s living on his nerves.” Jasper shifted uneasily on his seat. “Didn’t you tell me your granddaughter came here with an eye for George, my dear? I’d hate Kent to have his heart broken by a fickle miss.” Lady Bethany bristled in defense of her granddaughter. “Marissa is not a fickle miss, Jasper, far from it. And as for George…if you knew how drab the poor girl’s life has been you’d forgive her for setting her sights on the first man she met who was good-looking and the slightest bit interested in anything other than plants.”
