Expectations Of Happiness (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
It had been difficult work for the horses and their driver on the roads, and it was easy to see how the accident had happened. As the dawn struggled through a mass of low clouds weighed down with the sleet that was falling all around them, the gates of Barton Park loomed up though the mist and their relief was palpable. During the entire journey, Marianne had alternately wept and sighed and occasionally whispered questions about the time or the weather, as she clung to her sister’s hand. Matters that had not impinged upon her conscience before, pressed hard upon it now. Her demeanour reflected her pain as she struggled to cope with the deep sense of guilt that had afflicted her on learning that her husband had been injured while riding through the night to return to her. She had criticised him for going to the aid of Eliza Williams; yet she could now see that he, at least, had stood ready to help the woman and her child, whose dire plight was the direct consequence of Willoughby’s misconduct.
