A Place For Repentance (The Underwood Mysteries Book 6) - Plot & Excerpts
Not only was their darling papa going to spend time with them, but they were going to eat outdoors for the first time in their short lives. Having a picnic was not something which Martha had ever considered, let alone arranged. Violette too was waiting with happy anticipation for the apothecary. Much as she liked the children and was enjoying a life without worry over where the next meal was coming from and where she would lay her head that night – not to speak of whom she might be required to spurn from that bed – she was now ready for some social intercourse with an adult. She had tried and tried again to make friendly overtures to Lucy and had been firmly rejected and she was now almost desperate for a conversation which was not primarily in single words and simple phrases. She wished that Mr Jebson did not look so very unhappy at the prospect of dining outdoors with herself and the little girls.
