Banishment (Daughters Of Mannerling 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The weather during the preceding week had been rainy and unseasonably cold, but the sun had started to shine again and Isabella, after consulting her mother, decided that a further acquaintance with the viscount could be used to advantage. ‘Perhaps I have been too stiff and cold with the gentlemen I have met,’ said Isabella earnestly. ‘I could practise my social manners on this viscount.’ And so, attired in a carriage gown and smart hat, Isabella smiled at the viscount as he assisted her into his curricle and called to the Mannerling groom to stand away from the horses’ heads. ‘Where are we going?’ asked Isabella. She did hope they were not going to visit his aunt. ‘To Hedgefield.’ ‘To the town? But there is a fair on today, is there not?’ ‘Do you not like fairs?’ ‘I have only been to one. Are they not rather noisy and vulgar?’ ‘Great fun, I assure you, Miss Beverley.’ Isabella thought that if she protested, then he might decide to take her to see his aunt.
